"After a Few" is a ballad in which Travis Denning describes what inevitably happens when he bumps into an ex at a bar after one too many drinks: They kiss and end up in bed, only to regret it in the morning.
Denning wanted to capture his frustration at his habitual behavior. "Just that moment where you go, God, why can't I do this? Why can't I get past this?" he told American Songwriter. "And it's almost very Groundhog Day in a sense where it just keeps coming back to here we go, right back at it."
"After a Few" showcases Denning's love for a wide variety of music. "When I hear it, I hear my love for the Allman Brothers Band. I hear my love for AC/DC, Motörhead. And I hear my love for Halsey, Stevie Wonder, Ariana Grande, all this pop stuff. I was just kinda trying to take all that and put it in one song," he explained.
