MEGAN MULLINS OWEN

                                                                "Good for a Girl"

                                                                CCB Nashville

As CCB Nashville opens the final quarter of their #newmusicfriday initiative, which has seen them releasing a new song every Friday from one of their talented artists on their roster throughout 2022, Megan Mullins Owen gives us one of her most important and necessary songs to date with her newest single “Good for a Girl.”

“When I was a little girl, I realized I was gonna have to do things twice as nice as the boys just to be half as good” she sings on the powerful opening lines of the song as she immediately sets the tone of the women’s empowerment anthem.

Done with expert like knowledge from a production side, the songs structure features a slower pace in comparison to some of the rip-roarin’, fiddle sawin’ releases we’ve heard from her previously, so that it leaves plenty of space for Megan to wrap her incredible vocals into each meaningful line of the song as the lyrics are pushed into the centerpiece spotlight.

Born out of repeatedly being told that she was good enough “for a girl,” Mullins Owen perfectly crafted this song so that it doesn’t put down anyone, but it rather lifts women up through true to life lyrics that tell her personal story of working hard and changing people’s perception.

“I practiced morning, noon, and night…if I was gonna do it, I was gonna do it right!”

“Didn’t want to have to settle for coming in second place.”

While she then moves her story up to the more present day through the bridge and into the final chorus: 

“The first time I stood on that stage with the crowd at my feet

I didn’t, I didn’t, I did not believe….that

All I’d ever be was good for a girl”

Whenever you’re putting together something with such depth as this song carries, I’ve often said that to really get your point across and hit the intended mark so that it makes tremendous impact, you must do it in such a way that it focuses on solution and encouragement rather than tearing apart the other side of your point. Megan Mullins Owen absolutely stays 100% focused on the solution to the bigger social issue she’s singing about so that when she delivers the hook of “It oughta be enough to just be good….for a girl!” you truly understand the struggles and feel it in deeply your heart and soul and boldly stand beside her as an ally!
