Jake WhittakerIf there was ever a song built for knocking off work, rounding up your crew and heading straight to the bar, it’s Boots On and now Jake Whittaker is bringing that energy to life with its official video premiere.
Filmed at Chattahoochee Joes in Brisbane, the video leans all the way into the track’s rowdy, good-time vibe. A packed dancefloor, boots stomping, and that unmistakable “first drink of the night” buzz. It’s exactly the kind of setting the song was made for.
“This one’s about hittin’ the town with your partner and having a good time, wherever you land,” Whittaker said. “It’s a song for the end of the week, when work’s done, the worries are over and it’s time to get out there.”
Co-written with Sarah Buckley, the track taps into that nostalgic ‘90s country energy but it doesn’t feel dated. Instead, it lands as a modern take on a throwback sound, the kind that lands whether you’re on a dancefloor or blasting it in the car on the way there.

The release comes at a seriously high point for Whittaker, who recently took home Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the Countrytown Awards cementing what fans already knew: he’s one of the most exciting live acts coming up in Aussie country right now.
And that live energy is exactly what Boots On captures. After a massive summer of shows across Australia and New Zealand, Whittaker has built a reputation for high-energy sets, crowd-ready hooks and a party-first approach to country music that’s hard to ignore.
