Gosh all this buzz and watching that video makes me so excited to hear this song. (Tried signing up at AllAccess once upon a time, but my dinosaur computer kept getting errors so I gave up.) Anyway I'll wait patiently as I can. Carry on. emberstoashesx.tumblr.com/You can listen here. Thank you soooooooo much!!!! I agree with all who said they love it! I hope this does well (I hope I hope I hope I hope). :) I also agree with whoever said that this is just like all the bro-country songs musically. But oh, I love the message. Coming across loud and clear. :)

"And even someone like Kacey Musgraves, who made her name as a strong, outspoken woman, is now covering herself in makeup, getting spray tans and wearing the short shorts and barely-there dresses that this song seems to mock" I don't think most people think there is anything wrong with make up, short skirts if you are comfortable in that sort of thing, trying to make yourself attractive (within reason) to the opposite sex-whether it is on the part of males or females. The human race must propagate after all ;) You can be a strong woman and enjoy makeup and clothes-it just shouldn't be what you are solely valued for. It is the objectification and cliches in these songs as well as the language ('slide your ass over here', 'gotta get me some of THAT') that I personally (and I think many others) take issue with. I completely see your point, but the song actually does take overt shots at that style of dress. Early, they mock cut-off jeans by saying their legs are too cold, and then they talk about wearing "real clothes" at the end. My point was not to slut shame or to say that women are being hypocritical for wearing revealing clothing but then complaining about being objectified. It is to demonstrate the irony that in order to gain a platform for complaining about being objectified (or gender roles in general), female entertainers have to basically let themselves be objectified. People realizing that Kacey Musgraves was actually hot (and it took her getting more aggressive with her style and makeup to make that happen, because I don't recall anyone talking about that "hot chick" from Nashville Star) garnered her exposure and put her in the limelight in a way her music alone, sadly, never did. And, like I said, if Maddie and Tae weren't exceedingly good-looking (particularly Tae, who looks like the impossibly gorgeous girls you usually see cast in Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett or Florida Georgia Line videos...actually, very much like a younger version of Luke Bryan's wife), I fear that it would have been tougher to get this song on the radar. I'm not criticizing Maddie and Tae for being good-looking or for dressing somewhat revealingly (if you watch their EPK video, Tae's skirt/dress is awfully short for someone whose legs are cold); I'm just pointing out the irony of an industry that makes it hard for women to make a point without first letting themselves be sex objects. (And we see this in pop too - check out that new song by Meghan Trainor. Sure, she's a little heavier than the average pop star, but she's a very good-looking, well-proportioned girl...I feel like that song would really struggle if she were legitimately obese)

I really don't see this song as one 'attacking' the way women look. I think the lyrics were simply meant to question why bro-country songs always have to portray women as little hotties and nothing else. It's not so much about how women look or dress, but how the "bros" look at them, and I think that's backed up by the lyric "like all we're good for is lookin' good for you and your friends on the weekend, nothin' more". It's not the "looking good" or "dressing cute" that's the issue...it's the issue that the bros are basically looking at them and only seeing them for their looks and not for who they are as people.
So I don't have an issue with Maddie & Tae, Kacey, Miranda, etc. all trying to look their best...pretty much anybody, male or female, tries to look their best. I mean, just look at a lot of the popular male country artists of today (Luke Bryan, Hunter Hayes, Chris Young, Frankie Ballard, etc) I think that 'sex appeal' just comes with the celebrity status but it's also just human nature to want to look your best.
Also, I can see why some might say this sounds like a "bro" song, but I guess I have a differing opinion there. To me, bro-country doesn't have a particular sound at all. It's more the theme or 'culture' of the songs that make them bro-country, but again, that's just how I personally identify that sub-genre. Thus I don't really see a song like "Runnin' Outta Moonlight" or "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" as a 'bro' song. I guess all I'm saying is that fun, uptempo, summery songs don't necessarily equate to bro-country for me. But lyrics like "get me some of that", "moneymaker", "hey girl", "slide that little a** over here", etc. automatically make me view a song as a bro-country one, because I feel that those lyrics objectify women (which is really the only criteria I place on bro-country).
ETA: I guess, to clarify, I do think that sonically this sounds like a lot of what gets played on the radio today. But for me personally it doesn't sound like bro-country because I don't identify bro-country with a specific sound but rather with a specific type of lyric or 'culture' that objectifies women (hopefully that makes sense) :)

Am I crazy, or isn't the first line a direct shot at barefoot blue jean night? (Maybe I'm mixing up my bro-country)

(Maybe I'm mixing up my bro-country) Could be, but again, I personally don't think all fun summer songs are "bro" songs so long as they don't objectify women, and I don't find any lyrics like that in BBJN. I took the lyric to be referencing "Take A Little Ride" (pretty pink toes on the dash) but you're probably right that it is BBJN as that makes a little more sense.

Speaking of bro-country, anyone notice that there's only 1 bro-country song in the top 10 and pretty soon it'll be ZERO in the top 10 (once "Beachin" goes recurrent)? The majority of the A-list male artists have decided to release non-bro songs for the rest of the year (Luke Bryan with "Roller Coaster", FGL with "Dirt", Kenny's current, Tim's current, Blake's current, etc). Even Jake Owen is releasing a non-bro song called "Ghost Town" next (great song BTW). Overall, I think the state of Country radio is in pretty good shape right now. I had a 2-hour drive the other day and I really did not have the urge to change the dial on any of the songs.
It's a bit ironic that an anti-bro country song is released when 85-90% of the Country Airplay chart are already non-bro country.

I mean, we have had several bro songs dominating the charts this year, such as "This is How We Roll," "Bottoms Up," "Chillin' It" and "Play It Again". I don't think we've heard the last of bro-country, but I do think the general public is finally ready to hear something different.

www.savingcountrymusic.com/the-re-integration-of-bro-country-hatred-by-music-rowLong article that talks a lot about this new song. Personally I liken this song to "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels." That song was Kitty Well's response to "Get up and Go" and all the other male dominated songs of that era about women being the reason men cheat and get drunk. And like I've said on here before that we are living in the worst era for women since Kitty's time. So this new song by Maddie & Tae hopefully will usher in what Kitty did by standing up to the disrespectful men on radio and in the industry.

Where did you see "Ghost Town" is going to be released next? I know the video has been out for some time now, but I have yet to see any confirmation that it will be the 3rd single. 2. I don't consider "Beachin'" to be bro-country at all. I know there's the "and she shakes it at me" line, but still, there's no mention of trucks, dirt roads, or any type of sex in that song. It's simply about going to the beach and having a good time.

Jake said at his show last Saturday that he is actually pushing for What We Ain't Got to be the next single, then asked on Twitter what people wanted for the next single. (My feed was a mix of Ghost Town and What We Ain't Got). So I don't think it's definite that Ghost Town is the next single at all.

I think "bro country" is exaggerated and simply used by people to describe party songs. There is SO many great songs on the radio right now that tell story's and paint pictures and I think country radio is sounding better this year then in the past two. Songs like "Who I Am With You", "Like A Cowboy", "I Don't Dance","Meanwhile Back at Mamma's", "Yeah", are all great songs.

I agree on all but "yeah".. that's a crap song in my opinion... its a bro country song disguised as a male submissive lyric. "Like a cowboy" might be the best song on radio at the moment... But this about "girl in a country song"... its not as much anti-bro asn it is anti-misogyny

To me it's the culture and song subject (pickup trucks, girls riding shotgun, raising hell on a Saturday night), and unfortunately objectifies women like "Get Me Some Of That", and "Ready Set Roll" which IMO does. Maddie and Tae's song is to me a bit overproduced and sounds a bit cluttered, though it doesn't go so far as to make me like the song less, and certainly does not by my definition fit as bro-country even though it lists certain aspects because it's clearly objecting to the sub-genre by making fun of those certain aspects.

I agree with jhomes87 and sabre14's definitions of bro-country. Not every party song is bro-country - it's very dependent on theme and those common lyrics that can be found in those songs. At the very least I'm happy this song will call out those lazy songwriters who keep writing the same song over and over again with minor changes. It's pure laziness IMO and makes me lose a lot of respect for those songwriters, because I know they can do better. Heck, even Dallas Davidson, who is arguably one of the worst offenders when it comes to bro-country, has a co-writing credit on "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away," which I consider a gem of a song. These songwriters cannot honestly say that the subject matter in these songs are only things they know about. They have spouses, kids, dreams, ambitions. Inspiration can (and should) come from those areas, too.

Wow, this is incredible! I just love this! And the lyrics are only my third favorite thing about this, because as refreshing and great as the message behind this is to hear, I'm digging the vocal performance and production even more. The girl-on-girl harmonies is a sound sorely missed on country radio in the past few years since the likes of Dixie Chicks, SHeDAISY, and The Wreckers have fell from prominence for one reason or another. It'll definitely be a welcome addition imo for a successful girl duo back on the airwaves again. The production on this is very spot-on as well. I definitely feel like this sounds a lot more radio friendly than I maybe expected, which I love since that'll (hopefully) bode well for its chances of being a bit hit.
Definitely looking forward to seeing how this does and how Maddie & Tae's career shape up!

What do y'all want him to say. " came upon a new diddly entitled "female in a country western number" and must admit I tend to find a little belittling, may I say quite voluptuous" these people are young.... That's how young people talk these days.

That's how young people talk these days. I'm 3 years younger than Chase and I do not talk like that. Especially tweeting at two people I've never meet no less. Perhaps if I was in the private company of my friends but that language is uncalled for. Saying that's how young people (I guess 27 is young) talk these days is just an excuse. I don't mind him poking fun at the song if he wants to, but there's zero need to use the words he did. I've seen enough of his past tweets that this is obviously part of his personality but I can tell you that there are many young people (myself included) who do not "talk like that" these days.

I can't believe anyone looks at that interaction and walks away focusing on what Chase Rice wrote.
There's nothing uniquely offensive about what he wrote -- at worst, it's a guy being a guy, and at best, it's actually something of a clever comeback. Plus, he deserves some credit for thus far being the only "bro" to address it.
The real takeaway is that Maddie and Tae need to learn to better "live the gimmick." This one throwaway Tweet sent to one guy on July 4 won't mean anything, but it better not become a pattern. If these girls are committed to really making a statement about treatment of women in country, then their message shouldn't just be "all in good fun." And they also should be willing to correct a country bro whose only takeaway from the song was that their sh*t talk is sexy.
If Luke Bryan invites them to shake it with him up on stage, their answer at this point has to be no. If Chase Rice tries reducing the song to sexy sh*t talk, they need a more aggressive responsive. Something like "Chase, Ready? Set? Good, now roll away from us."
This is the kind of thing that makes you wonder if the song is all for attention. And it really aligns with what sites like Save Country were writing. They're getting you to THINK they're being all combative within country, but they're totally playing the game. ======
Also, a lot of this could be moot because they seem to have a friendly rapport with Chase Rice.
From earlier this year:

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm in the minority making it a priority to never use that language to a fellow recording artist. Are they close friends? Who knows, maybe they hit it off and are really backing each other instead of it being a typical plug for another artists music, which in reality doesn't really mean much to each other how the other's music EP is doing which to me could be considered as well, just like thinking that Maddie & Tae are doing this for "attention". The thought that this is a little worrisome because it's being backed by Scott Borchetta of BMLG has crossed my mind as well.
I choose not to use the word s**t to another artist who happens to be 18 years old. Again, I seem to be alone here and most thinks it's fine and cool to have the tweets Chase has put out over the past few months. I don't apologize for having some manners though, even if some my age rather ignore them.

Your issue was with him using the completely innocuous, universal term "sh*t talk" rather than outright calling them sexy? Okay, now I am confused.

I'm confused that someone could be oblivious and can't comprehend why someone finds that tweet uncalled for in terms of language. The whole tweet rubbed me the wrong way. To me while what he said is innocuous, it just gives someone like me the impression that Chase is immature. Plain and simple. I understand that it's "S**t talk" but many artists who are constantly in the public eye, make sure not to use the words Chase regularly uses. Twitter isn't a personal message, it's the Internet, which means everyone can view it at the drop of a hat. If you don't have any problems with the way he showcases himself that's Okay, as we all have opinions on whats acceptable. To me Chase is childish and egocentric. All I can base that off of is the tweets he has sent out and the letter he put up on his website. Nobody's perfect, and lord knows I'm not either, but until he changes his attitude or at least puts up a more presentable one, I will not be endured to him in the slightest.

Are we talking about this Tweet or others? I don't follow Chase Rice's Tweets regularly, but I'm focused on THIS Tweet since this is a thread about Maddie and Tae's new song rather than Chase Rice. If one thinks Chase saying that he finds the effort sexy is sleazy or demeaning, I can understand that perspective. But there's nothing wrong with referring to the lyrics as "sh*t talk" - that's what they are...

I'm confused that someone could be oblivious and can't comprehend why someone finds that tweet uncalled for in terms of language. The whole tweet rubbed me the wrong way. To me while what he said is innocuous, it just gives someone like me the impression that Chase is immature. Plain and simple. I understand that it's "S**t talk" but many artists who are constantly in the public eye, make sure not to use the words Chase regularly uses. Twitter isn't a personal message, it's the Internet, which means everyone can view it at the drop of a hat. If you don't have any problems with the way he showcases himself that's Okay, as we all have opinions on whats acceptable. To me Chase is childish and egocentric. All I can base that off of is the tweets he has sent out and the letter he put up on his website. Nobody's perfect, and lord knows I'm not either, but until he changes his attitude or at least puts up a more presentable one, I will not be endured to him in the slightest. Are we talking about this Tweet or others? I don't follow Chase Rice's Tweets regularly, but I'm focused on THIS Tweet since this is a thread about Maddie and Tae's new song rather than Chase Rice. If one thinks Chase saying that he finds the effort sexy is sleazy or demeaning, I can understand that perspective. But there's nothing wrong with referring to the lyrics as "sh*t talk" - that's what they are... I was under the impression you were making the argument that you found his tweet fine because he referred to the lyrics as "s**t talk". I still don't feel he should have used that term at all bit that just my prerogative. It's the word itself that I found off putting. That's why I brought up his past history in terms of tweets where he uses fowl and inappropriate language. But yes let's get back to Maddie & Tae's song as I agree this thread should get back on track. The lyrics are just pointing out the redundant use of women in bro-country and doing it in a comical way, and nothing more. If I confused you about what I was trying to convey, I'll take responsibility just so this thread can revolve around "Girl In Country Song". No hard feelings kanimal as I find you to be a welcomed edition on pulse. :)

If Chase Rice can't stand the heat, he should get out of the kitchen (or out of Maddie & Tae's way because they are smokin').

This is a very cleverly written novelty song and the girls sound great on it ... but it is just that ... a novelty song. I hope they have something good to follow it with. And .... i hope they got publishing permission to put the red red red neck line in there and sing it exactly the way it was sung on Boys Round Here ... If not they better lawyer up. Personally - of the new female songs out there, I prefer Raelynn's God Made Girls. It talks about how boys should treat girls and about the things they will do when they meet a girl they really like. And it's not a novelty song.

Funny but when I posted that I didn't think of how Chase worded his tweet (which is for me not good but I only realized it after it was pointed out here), but more of on what Maddie and Tae replied, just like kanimal posted.

Chase's tweet was crass and inappropriate, but I find the response equally troubling. It definitely doesn't align with the message of what this song appears to be going for.
