Tequila

Written by Dan + Shay's Dan Smyers, along with Jordan Reynolds and Nicolle Galyon, "Tequila" is a reflective, pop-country heartbreaker about how the song's titular liquor reminds the duo of a lost love. When I taste tequila Baby, I still see ya Dan Smyers recalled to The Boot: "We wrote that song with our buddy Jordan and Nicolle. Jordan knows we drink tequila - he knows that's our go-to - so he was like, 'What if we wrote a song called "Tequila?"' That's how a lot of our writing sessions start."

Rather than penning lyrics about downing shots and partying the night away, the songwriters flipped the script and wrote a number about the memories that coming flooding back every time the lovelorn guy sips tequila. Smyers explained: "In typical Nashville songwriter fashion, we made it as confusing as possible for the listener: Instead of writing a feel-good, uptempo kind of thing, we were like, 'Let's go to the Dan + Shay wheelhouse: nostalgia zone!' We used the idea of tequila as a trigger to go back to a relationship and get really specific with the details, really tell a story."

Tequila is a Mexican alcoholic drink made from the agave plant. Other artists that have released songs inspired by the beverage include The Champs, The Eagles, Joe Nichols, Kenny Chesney and. Randy Rogers Band.
