Its lead single, "Po-Dunk", peaked at number 27 on the Hot Country Songs. "Greatest Show on Earth" peaked at number 16 on the Mainstream Rock chart and it was used as the main theme for WWE pay-per-view Survivor Series . "Tennessee Mountain Top" peaked at number 36 on the Hot Country Songs.
Sweet Southern Sugar is Kid Rock's first album since his self-titled 2003 album not to feature a title track, though the album's name comes from a lyric in "Tennessee Mountain Top". The album also features a cover of the Four Tops song "I [Can't Help Myself ]", titled "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch". The songs "Back to the Otherside" and "Grandpa's Jam" feature a return to the rapping vocals of Rock's earlier work.
