I like this! It’s not really among her best, but it’s cute. I was hoping for something different for the new era, but I get why they’re going with something safer (especially for radio)… Hopefully it pays off!

I love it. Nothing will ever be as good as Vice but this is so much better than Settling Down and Wash for me.

This is fantastic as I expected, seeing as she's got one of the strongest and most consistent hits catalog of any modern country artist. The song feels so breezy and catchy, and I can imagine it going over well with the radio audience. Her vocals sound great on this, too.

This feels a tad bit like “Settling Down” again…if this is a lead single to a new album then I have to say it’s rather underwhelming, but this is still a great song, and I can see why they went with this one, so as to keep her momentum at radio going; I’m sure audiences will eat this right up. Her voice is lovely as always and the melody is nice. I can imagine this will hit much better in the early springtime.

I'm going to have to give this a few more listens as I'm sure it'll grow on me, but I do have to say it initially hasn't quite connected with me like I hoped it might. Ask me again in a few days and I'm sure by then I'll love it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

This is.. cute, but I’m a little underwhelmed ngl. A slight step down from Drunk, Settling Down, and Bluebird imo. This doesn’t really feel like a radio hit to me, but I hope to be proven wrong. I still think she should’ve waited until Drunk peaked to go into the next era to let some of her material breathe, because she’s essentially going to run into the same issue she just experienced with Settling Down with trying to get radio to play two singles.

I’m sure they’re aware after settling down, but Drunk at the heart of it is Elle’s song and not hers, so idk if they care. Not like she racks up number 1s anyways so why wait for the sake of radio. It’s also been out for a while despite whatever number it is rn.

It's a bit underwhelming, but I don't mind it.

I don’t care for these cutesy songs from her. I do love the bridge lyric though (if your daughters grow up to be cowboys…so what?) but it sounds out of place melodically or something?

Definitely underwhelming in comparison to everything released during the Wildcard era (+Drunk). Hope it doesn't put a damper on her radio run.

Well Wildcard was her most commercial effort in years and only got her one #1 and Drunk, despite selling amazing is still sitting at 28 at week thirty-something so I don’t think it’ll really be a damper on anything at radio. 😅

I think Drunk will probably be fine but I just don’t know how I see this one holding up in the long run after the initial hype of a new single is gone.

I think that’s always a thing with Miranda songs though. My fave singles of hers have peaked at like 11 and 20 😂. I also hated Settling Down as a single choice so I might just be in the minority on this.

Pretty sure this had an iheart deal. I've already heard it 2 times today and was only in the car for an hour or so.

My favorite song of Miranda's will always probably be "Dead Flowers" though. I really do enjoy the melody of this one and sure it's nothing groundbreaking but it's better than the last two singles.

At the end of the day, she’s an album artist and not a singles artist. This may very well be the most commercial sounding song she’s got this round, or one of a few… which wouldn’t be a bad thing. All I want is for Waxahachie and Geraldene from Marfa to get properly produced on this record please country music gods 😭

Off the top of my head I think Wash was 112 and Vice was 109. Both after longer periods away than this one.

Hopefully it doesn’t do what those two songs did for the third consecutive era by missing the Top 10 💀 It would be a shame, cause as underwhelmed overall as I am with this song, it’s still nice and breezy and it would be nice to hear it on the radio often…hell, the song might even grow on me that way.

"It All Comes Out In The Wash" peaked at #14 but I get your point. I will say as long as the testing is there like it was for "Bluebird" and to a lesser extent "Settling Down", Miranda should be fine as with all 3 songs ("Cowboy", "Wash", "Vice") country radio at the start is fully in, it was just the testing and callout scores killed the latter two. I do think this sounds more radio friendly then her last couple of lead singles so I am cautiously optimistic.

So I just heard this for the first time and I like it. Wasn't a fan of the music video but you can't win them all.

This is pleasant but nothing special. I love her but her music sounds a bit samey to me lately.

Surprised to see so many lukewarm to reactions to this. I was not underwhelmed in the least, this melody is incredible! I love the instrumentation too. A+ song.
