As far as the songwriting, it is perfect for country music in particular, referencing whiskey and of course its effects (“We’re in the bathroom stall gettin’ tatted, there’s a line in the hall / Tryna be my sugar daddy, gettin’ handsy in the stalls.” Woo! Because both are so adept at this, the chemistry between the two is marvelous. Both King and Lambert have powerful voices and do a fabulous job of conveying attitude and feistiness. Besides the electrifying production from 🎛 Martin Johnson and 🎛 Brandon Paddock, there are also electrifying vocals. By the chorus, there are more ‘countrified’ cues, thanks to the inclusion of driving, rhythmic guitars. It’s definitely the beat, which incites head nodding, foot tapping, and hand clapping (the movement of your choice). “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” catches the ear from the onset. The resulting duet, 🎵 “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” is pretty sweet, fusing country, pop, and rock seamlessly. While the drunkenness may not ultimately be optimal, the situation where two musicians the caliber of 🎙 Elle King and 🎙 Miranda Lambert (a 🏆 Grammy winner) join forces is only positive. “So, bartender, take my keys / What do you want from me? / Baby, I’m drunk and I don’t wanna go home.” Woo! Sounds like situation to me. Elle King and Miranda Lambert make sweet music together on the fun, energetic, and drunken gem, “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home).”
