"What the Hell Did I Say" is a song co-written and recorded by country music artist Dierks Bentley. It was released in June 2017 as the fourth single from his 2016 album Black. This is the second collaboration by Bentley, Kear and Tompkins, following the highly successful No. 1 single "Drunk on a Plane". However, unlike "Drunk", this song underperformed and missed the top 40 of the Billboard Country Airplay chart.

The protagonist's ex is calling to inform him she is coming to see him, after hearing something he said the previous evening when he was drunk at the bar and decided to call her. He is struggling to recall what exactly he said, for example promising to buy her a diamond ring and take her to Las Vegas to get married. [1]
