Megan Barker knows exactly what she wants, and she doesn't want to waste any time getting it. On "Do Ya Don't," the Tennessee native captures the spirit of a night out in the Lone Star State. This honky-tonk gem immediately grabs your attention with an infectious energy, opening with a nod to ZZ Top’s classic “La Grange.” The rhythmic percussion of drumsticks tapping on the hardware of the kit rattles away while the bluesy guitar riffs. The lyrics tells the story of a spirited gal in a bustling Texas bar, where she locks eyes with Mr. Right-Now. The straightforward question she poses—“Do ya or do ya don’t?”—is an irresistible invitation that sets the tone for a wild night. Her playful assertiveness resonates, making it clear that she knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. Megan’s vocal delivery is nothing short of magnetic; she exudes a flirty confidence that perfectly complements the cheeky lyrics. It's also brimming with vivid Texas bar imagery, from the inevitable order of Lone Star beer to the iconic sawdust underfoot. Each line paints a picture that feels lived-in and relatable, transporting you straight to the heart of a lively Texas dive. Megan’s ability to weave these details into her storytelling adds depth to the song, making it more than just a catchy tune; it becomes an experience. It’s a track that celebrates the thrill of spontaneity and connection, encapsulating the joy of letting loose and having fun.“Do Ya Don’t” is a high-energy stomper that is sure to get the whole bar dancing. So when she poses that question... you'll know the obvious answer.
