The toe-tapping rhythm of the melody stays throughout the single, keeping you hooked to the sound. The duo’s country roots can be felt in the melody, but this is transformed into a youthful contemporary movement with the fresh injection of energy that flies out with the guitar riffs.
While the melody sweeps through you and has you tapping away to the rhythm, it is really the vocals that are the star of the single. The lyrics have a delightful storytelling vibe to them as they throw you back to high school and your first summer romance. Joey’s vocals enter with a touch of anxiety that comes with seeing someone you like and working up the courage to ask them out.
