Dibs (song)

"Dibs" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Kelsea Ballerini. It was released in June 2015 as the second single from her debut album, The First Time (2015).

The song was written by Ballerini, Josh Kerr, Ryan Griffin, and Taylor Swift's frequent collaborator, Nicolle Galyon. It is a flirty, uptempo country-pop track about a woman expressing her interest in a man and essentially calling "dibs" on him before anyone else can. The lyrics use playful innuendo and suggest a casual, romantic encounter.

"Dibs" became Ballerini's second consecutive number-one hit on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, making her the first solo female artist to send her first two singles to the top of that chart since Jamie O'Neal in 2001. The song's success helped solidify Ballerini's position as a rising star in country music.

The song was well-received by critics for its catchy melody, relatable lyrics, and Ballerini's vocal performance. It was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting over one million certified units.
