So... your ex is rewriting history and casting you as the villain... what do you do? Well, if your name is Andrea Vasquez, you write the perfect rebuttal in the form of a song. “Everything I Wish I Did” is a brisk, cleverly biting country single that hits like a three and a half minute truth bomb with a side of sweet tea. With a sound straight out of the ‘90s and a vocal delivery that’s equal parts steel spine and soft ache, Andrea channels the spirit of staples like Sara Evans and Jo Dee Messina without feeling like she’s playing dress-up. Her voice is that perfect kind of reedy with a fluttering vibrato that carries just enough tremble to suggest heartbreak, but not enough to suggest she’s sticking around to cry about it. The track opens with a visual gut punch- spotting a familiar Chevy El Camino and a new blonde in the passenger seat- and unspools into a pointed meditation on post-breakup storytelling. Andrea questions what her ex is telling his new flame. Did he mention she poured out the bourbon, smashed his guitar, and broke his heart? Probably. Did he mention why she actually left? Probably not. The lyrics walk the tightrope between sarcastic jabs and sincere regret, landing squarely in that beautiful space where emotional truth and country flair meet. The production leans heavily into 90s nostalgia with layers of warm pedal steel and an upper-mid-tempo bounce that would feel right at home on a dusty jukebox. It’s catchy, smart, and instantly familiar without being tired. In under four minutes, Andrea proves she can write with wit, sing with soul, and throw shade with style. In the end, “Everything I Wish I Did” reminds us that if your ex is gonna talk, you might as well give them something worth lying about.
