What to know about "Margaritaville" by Jimmy Buffett

Buffett's signature song, "Margaritaville" was released off of his 1977 album Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes. It reached the number 8 position on the US Billboard Hot 100, and has since been covered by Terry Fator, Keith Urban, Alan Jackson, Zach Brown Band, Florence Welch, and more. 

According to Rolling Stone, Buffett wrote the track in five minutes while at an airport. "The chorus instantly lodges in your brain, the song overall has a rakish charm, and you just have to root for the guy," the outlet wrote shortly after Buffett's death in 2023.
