Dierks Bentley’s fans are having as much fun as the “po-po” will allow with the singer’s latest hit, “5-1-5-0.” However, a few of the reactions from the audience have Dierks quite puzzled. “People are doing the hand signals 5-1-5-0 and, you know, people wearing the t-shirts,” says Dierks. “I keep on getting handcuffs thrown up on stage — I’m not really sure how that ties into the song — but I got a pair of like handcuffs tossed up the other night that had like little pink feathers wrapped around them.” The song is currently poised to climb to No. 1 on the country singles charts. 

Dierks was just announced as a performer during the upcoming ABC special, CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock. The three-hour special is scheduled to air September 17th on ABC.

“People are doing the hand signals 5-1-5-0 and, you know, people wearing the t-shirts. I keep on getting handcuffs thrown up on stage — I’m not really sure how that ties into the song — but I got a pair of like handcuffs tossed up the other night that had like little like pink feathers wrapped around them, I don’t know, the guys found something fun to do with them. The guys in my band are always, I don’t know, that story…yeah. It’s funny. They’ve been great, the song’s definitely taken a life of its own and that’s what you want. You want people to hear it and just, you know, bring as much out of it as they possibly can.”
