Critical reception[edit]

An uncredited Taste of Country review stated that "Tim McGraw keeps it mellow with the first single from an upcoming project. “Top of the World” is a gentle way for the singer to describe his love to someone. McGraw uses a familiar metaphor to make it clear this woman couldn’t make him feel any finer."[1]

Music video[edit]

The music video was directed by McGraw Music and premiered in November 2015.[2]
