"Swingin' Doors" is a song written by Bobby Boyd, Chapin Hartford, and Jim Foster. It was recorded by American country music group Molly & the Heymakers under the title "Swinging Doors" for their 1992 self-titled album. Their version, produced by Gregg Brown, was released as a single in August 1992 but did not chart.[1]
The song is about a woman who tells off a "wayward man" who does not remain faithful to her that "you must think my heart has swingin' doors."[3]
Critical receptionedit
Billboard reviewed the Molly & the Heymakers version with favor, saying that "this alternative country record was worth the wait. Catchy, catchy hook."[1]
A review from the same magazine of the McBride version was positive, stating that "McBride's evocative voice fills the chorus with passion and conviction."[3]
