It was released in August 1994 as the first single and title track from their album of the same name. It was their tenth single overall, and has become one of their best-known songs. It was written by the band's chief songwriters: lead guitarist Porter Howell, guitarist Dwayne O'Brien and keyboardist and vocalist Brady Seals. The song reached #5 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and #4 on the Canadian RPM country tracks chart. Content"Kick a Little" is an up-tempo song sung by lead singer Tim Rushlow. Like Aaron Tippin's debut single "You've Got to Stand for Something", the song's narrator imparts the words of his father, who was never the first to fight but was always willing to stand up for what he believed or to defend his family. Music videoThe music video was directed by Jon Small, and premiered in late 1994. It was filmed at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville, Tennessee. The video starts with a shot of storm clouds. It then cuts to an unnamed actor in a red cap, parking his Volkswagen Bug and saying "Man, it's like there's a storm growing there!" as a flash of lightning appears. As the song starts, it shows the band performing live on an empty stage, while being bombarded with debris. During the guitar solo, a really strong tornado and heavy windstorm breaks down the door to meet the band and the unnamed actor, with a rubber chicken, on stage, where the band continues performing while being bombarded with even more debris. As the song ends, another unnamed actor says "Man, that Texas twister sho' can kick!" as debris got flown up in the air from him kicking his foot, which then goes into a reprise of the song's guitar riff. This was also the band's last music video to feature keyboardist and co-lead vocalist Brady Seals before he left the band in late 1994 (as both the song and just-released namesake album were climbing the charts) to pursue a solo career. Chart performance"Kick a Little" debuted at number 68 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of August 27, 1994.
