Back To Basic

Back To Basicv-Vox

A #1-ready modern country-pop song in the style lane of Megan Moroney. Mid-tempo, hook-heavy, feminine, polished, and easy to sing. Acoustic guitar-driven with crisp modern drums, subtle steel guitar, light electric shimmer, and glossy Nashville production. The female vocal should be youthful, Southern, slightly raspy, conversational, and effortlessly confident, with a sweet-but-cutting smirk in the delivery. Keep the lyrics short, punchy, and very singable, with lots of space and a huge chorus. Emotional tone: pretty but petty, unbothered, and sharp. The song is about an ex who couldn’t handle a high-impact, magnetic girl, so he went back to someone safer, smaller, and easier. The chorus should feel like a radio smash, with strong money lines and a clean melodic lift.

Back To Basic Verse 1 I heard she likes your bar Your same old Friday night Don’t ask too many questions Don’t push, don’t start a fight She fits right in your truck Sits pretty, talks soft Yeah, I can see why that works For a boy who scares off Pre-Chorus I was too much She’s just enough For you Chorus Go on back to basic Back to safe and back to small Back to girls that make you feel like You were somethin’ after all You couldn’t handle lightning So you settled for a spark Go on back to basic Boy, I was always gonna break your heart Verse 2 She probably loves your town Your mama and your friends Don’t make you dig too deep Don’t make you try again She won’t call you out Won’t make you own your part Yeah, she’s the kind that lets you keep Your hands clean and your heart dark Pre-Chorus I was too much She’s just enough For you Chorus Go on back to basic Back to safe and back to small Back to girls that make you feel like You were somethin’ after all You couldn’t handle lightning So you settled for a spark Go on back to basic Boy, I was always gonna break your heart Bridge I was too wild Too real Too hard to hold She’s white paint Closed doors And do what she’s told Final Chorus Go on back to basic Back to safe and back to small Back to girls that make you feel like You were somethin’ after all You couldn’t handle lightning So you settled for a spark Go on back to basic Boy, I was always gonna break your heart Tag Yeah, go on back to basic You were never built for me
