Emily Joy Releases Cheeky Country-Pop Single 'Give Me A Shot Or Two'

Rising country-pop artist Emily Joy is back with a bang, releasing her bold new single "Give Me a Shot or Two". A cheeky, high-spirited anthem made for the dance floor, the track fuses Nashville tradition with a sparkling pop twist, showcasing Emily's playful confidence and undeniable charm.

With a wink and a little liquid courage, "Give Me a Shot or Two" flips the traditional honky-tonk love story on its head " putting the cowgirl in charge. Driven by singalong hooks, slick harmonies, and a punchy rhythm section, it's the kind of track destined for both radio rotation and Saturday night barroom singalongs. Think Lainey Wilson meets Kelsea Ballerini, with a dash of sass and sequins.

"Give Me a Shot or Two" came from this cheeky idea of flipping the usual honky-tonk love story.  I wanted to write a song where the cowgirl makes the first move – with confidence, a wink, and maybe a little liquid courage.  It's fun, flirty and definitely a bit of a bold moment for me as a songwriter.  I hope it makes people smile, dance and feel a little braver in shooting their shot at love"

Lyrically, the title plays with double meanings " "Give me a shot or two" hints at both tequila-fuelled bravery and the shot at love across a crowded bar. It's a relatable anthem for anyone who's ever felt sparks fly under neon lights.
