Recording and production

Like much of Love Story, "Box Chevy V" was recorded at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, Tennessee with mixing engineer Matthew Hayes and producer William "WLPWR" Washington, who also performed keyboards, pads, drums and programming on the song; Mike Hartnett performed guitar and DJ Klever performed turntables. The track contains a reference to the song "Still D.R.E.", by Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg, in the second verse.

"Box Chevy V" is the fifth entry in Yelawolf's "Box Chevy" song series, following "My Box Chevy" (from 2007's Ball of Flames: The Ballad of Slick Rick E. Bobby), "Box Chevy Part 2" (from 2008's Stereo: A Hip Hop Tribute to Classic Rock), "Box Chevy Pt. 3" (from 2010's Trunk Muzik), and "Box Chevy Pt. 4" (from 2013's Trunk Muzik Returns).

Music and lyrics

Trevor Smith of HotNewHipHop.com notes that the song features "swirling synth sounds", and that the lyrics contain references to "old cars and Jack Daniel's". Similarly, Edwin Ortiz of Complex magazine explains that in "Box Chevy V", Yelawolf "gets straight to the point here by describing his affection for his ride". A writer for Uproxx describes the song thus: ""Box Chevy V" starts off low-key and unexpectedly turns into a two-stepping country jam, where producer WillPower of SupaHotBeats mixes Wolf's Southern synth sound with more of a refined West Coast bounce".
