Girl In A Country Song

Maddie & Tae are a teenage duo comprising Tae Dye and Maddie Marlow. The pair are signed to Dot Records, an imprint of the Big Machine Records label.

Maddie & Tae penned this anti-Bro-Country tune with Aaron Scherz, who has also written music for the Nashville TV series soundtrack. The song pokes fun at the current trend amongst hitmakers like Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan and Billy Currington and the girls hold nothing back. I hear you over there on your tailgate whistling (whistle) Saying 'Hey Girl' but you know I ain't listening Cause I got a name and to you ain't pretty little thing, hi, or Baby Yeah, It's driving me red, red, red, red, red, red, Redneck Crazy Maddie & Tae go on to sing that such previous artists like Conway Twitty and George Strait, "never did it this way."

Tae Dye told Rolling Stone Country the story of the song: "Maddie and I were in a songwriting session on St. Patrick's Day, and we were talking about all the songs and laughing because the lyrics share a common theme," she said. "We wanted to go at it from a girl's perspective, and we wanted to put ourselves in the shoes of this girl. You know, how does she feel wearing these cut-off shorts, sitting on the tailgate?"
