Runaway June is a country music band comprising Naomi Cooke, Hannah Mulholland and Jennifer Wayne. Jennifer comes from exalted show business stock: her grandpa was Hollywood legend John Wayne.
This empowering anthem is about a woman who goes out for a solo night on the town following a breakup. I can buy my own drinks I can pay my own tab At the end of the night when they cut on all the lights I can call my own cab The girl is celebrating how she doesn't need a man to run her life.
All three members of Runaway June wrote the song along with Josh Kear and Hillary Lindsey. It was the lone guy among the five songwriters who suggested the title. Wayne recalled to The Boot that Kear said, "I have this title, and it's called 'Buy My Own Drinks,' but I don't know what it means." The four girls responded, "We do!"
