Setting boundaries ahead of potential relationships can help avoid disasters. However, even more important than boundaries are your deal breakers. Those little quirks about you that are the must have’s for a potential better half to carry within them that tell you whether to proceed with a green light or to stop on red!

A dealbreaker is exactly what emerging talent Jordana Bryant explores on her new song release “Country Music.”

Co-written by Bryant with Zack Kale and Seth Mosley, the uber catchy song allows the teenage Bryant to continue connecting with her age demographic, while giving a smile to us in the older generation that remembers our own dealbreakers from when we first met our better half – and the way those dealbreakers helped clear the path of the wrong ones on our way to Mr. or Mrs. Right!

Bryant opens the song by immediately admitting about the boy in question that he’s got it all, everything she wants except that there’s just that one little red flag – he doesn’t like country music!

Through the chorus, she then very innocently shares that she’s not blaming him or hating on his roots and where he comes from, but as much as she would have liked him, without him liking country music it’s a no-go for her.

The cleverness in her songwriting comes in the second verse when she begins to run the gamut of country music’s eras, not limiting it to just one or the other, with a few well-placed name drops singing “Sam and Johnny, Luke and Dolly,” while using the bridge of the song to perfectly describe all the things she wants in a country boy that he doesn’t have:

“If you did, you’d roll them windows down and cruise

You’d leave a little bit of dirt up on them boots

You’d dropped that tailgate when we park under the moon

You’d be that boy I couldn’t lose

If you liked country music”

The simplicity of the music wraps amazingly into an infectiously catchy melody that immediately grips the listener into the clap along with tempo, while Bryant’s crisp, clean vocals carry the song, playfully outlining the sorry not sorry vibe of the lyrics.

Following buzzworthy releases “Guilty” and “New Friends,” “Country Music” is a surefire way for Bryant to continue resonating with her fan base, especially since it’s release came after hot demand from her fans after she first teased the song on social media.
