Background
In an interview, Pardi called "Tequila Little Time" a fun and relaxing song, with a flavor of mariachi horns: "I feel like this goes great on a boat, a lake or pool and just any kind of atmosphere of having a good time. It's about picking up a girl that's down and maybe, maybe we want to do a shot of tequila? There's no answer, but maybe."{{cite web|url=https://themusicuniverse.com/jon-pardi-releases-tequila-little-time/|title=Jon Pardi releases 'Tequila Little Time'|website=The Music Universe|last=Iahn|first=Buddy|date=January 5, 2021|accessdate=May 9, 2021}}{{cite web|url=https://www.udiscovermusic.com/news/jon-pardi-releases-tequila-little-time-single/|title=Jon Pardi Wants 'Tequila Little Time' As New Single Hits Country Radio|website=Udiscovermusic|last=Sexton|first=Paul|date=January 18, 2021|accessdate=May 9, 2021}}{{cite web|url=http://abcnewsradioonline.com/music-news/2021/1/5/jon-pardis-new-single-compels-him-tequila-little-time.html|title=Jon Pardi's new single compels him "Tequila Little Time"|publisher=ABC News Radio|last=Houghton|first=Cillea|date=January 5, 2021|accessdate=May 9, 2021}}
