This song by Maddie and Tae examines how country music has evolved over time.  Country music heavily references nostalgia, hard work, gambling, drinking, and more, but in recent years, it has taken a turn.  The genre has begun to place women at the center of many songs, and not always in a loving way.  Maddie and Tae speak on how country music has started to use women as sexual objects whose only worth is their beauty, "Like all we’re good for is lookin’ good for

You and your friends on the weekend, nothin’ more.”   The appealing front that country music has makes it difficult to recognize that the genre is proficient in objectification and misogyny.
