Don't be fooled by the "Drunk Girl" title. This Everybody cut is not an ode to hard living females, but instead the song serves as an encouragement to young men to help inebriated woman to make their way home safely rather than trying to sleep with them. "It's certainly a compelling track in the regard that it was written from a father's perspective. If my daughter were ever in that situation, the song is how I hope a young man would treat my daughter," Janson told Taste of Country.
Speaking on the Ty, Kelly & Chuck morning show, Janson explained the emotional track, written by him with Scooter Carusoe and Tom Douglas, comes from a place of concern and support from the perspective of fathers. "This is exactly how you treat a girl, at least in my opinion," the singer said. "And I think we're shedding a new light on something, frankly, that doesn't get talked about a lot. It gets swept under the rug, and when you do hear about it, it always gets lit up in a negative tone."
Janson told Genius: "This song came together over tears and cigars, and the beautiful piano playing of Tom Douglas." He added: "The inspiration for this song came from our daughters. We wanted to put a song out there with subject matter that could be used as a template for young men, or any man, on how to actually treat a woman. Not preachy, just the truth."
