"Hold My Beer" is a song recorded by Canadian country music artist Aaron Pritchett. The song was the second single off his fourth studio album Big Wheel. Pritchett co-wrote the song with Deric Ruttan and Mitch Merrett.^[1] The three writers won "Songwriter(s) of the Year" at the 2007 Canadian Country Music Awards for the song.^[2]

Pritchett and his co-writers were in a songwriting session when he uttered the phrase "hold my beer", which he stated "just popped into" his head.^[3] They wrote the song as "a joke", not initially intending to record it.^[4] Neither Pritchett nor his co-writers expected the song to achieve any success.^[5]

The primary lyrics of the chorus are "Hold my beer, while I kiss your girlfriend. 'Cause she needs a real man / Not a boy like you".^[3] Years after the song's release, Pritchett remarked that it is like a "nursery rhyme, an earworm," as "it gets stuck in your head and you never forget it".^[3]

"Hold My Beer" reached a peak of number nine on the Billboard Canada Country chart dated August 26, 2006, marking Pritchett's fourth top ten hit.^[8] The song peaked after only six weeks on the chart, while it charted for 22 weeks in total.^[8] On August 24, 2017, the song became Pritchett's first single to be certified Gold by Music Canada.^[9]

The official music video for "Hold My Beer" was directed by Stephano Barberis, and features footage of Pritchett performing the song, in addition to showing several actors portraying a scene at a bar.^[6][10]
