Warm, gritty guitar and hazy percussion color the summery soundscape and The Sunshine State’s confident, glassy vocals add an intimacy to the song that can quite be described. “This song is bonfires and beer bottles crashing on the floor. A chipped tooth, a quick fling, and the feeling that sometimes it doesn’t matter if the person is right or wrong for you because freedom and new adventure are the only things on your mind.”

“With another banger in the bank, it’s only a matter of time before Stonestreet starts cashing in.” – Billboard
