New Music Friday Review Part 1: January 8th. The WORST song of 2021 already?

So this is the lead single from the new Florida Georgia Line album coming soon and I was hoping they'd keep going on their trend from "Lit This Year"...a Christmas song that is pretty good coming from a duo known for bro country so what did we get with "New Truck"?

Seems for the last few years, we've had a song released in early January that was a clear stand out for the year end number one on the worst lists eg: "Yummy":by Justin Bieber last year and "7 Rings" by Ariana Grande in 2019, well "My Truck" by Florida Georgia is that song for 2021 because holy shit, where to even start?

Well let's start with the lyrics which are just Florida Georgia Line's checklist bro country bragging about having this new truck and therefore a new souped ride that they like too high and that's all before using the term 'shawty' like they are Justin Bieber in 2010...what a way to make your song sound instantly dated! Also adlibs because Florida Georgia Line think they can get away with trying to lazily merge country with using stale hip hop adlibs you'd find on Migos albums "Culture" and "Culture II" for that matter. The hip hop integration is at best lousy and at worst fucking insulting to both country and hip hop genres.

Also bragging about having alligator skin interiors? Not sure that's a brag you should be making in a time of strong animal rights considerations.

As for the production, well its closer to pop and hip hop with the leering gang vocals and a creaking noise in the second verse that I was convinced that somebody's cat had somehow been accidentally recorded and included in the mix with how off key it sounds (some cats can meow to a tune but not the one on this Florida Georgia Line song. The vocal delivery on the chorus reminds me of fucking "Swayze" by Zac Brown. Nothing goes with anything and there's not a hit of country instrumentation on the song apart of the braying vocals of the duo.

I originally thought that "My Truck" was so bad that it was perversely funny but than I realized that this could be the next evolution of fucking bro country where it barely even sounds like country music but will get played on country radio anyway...this song is absolute fucking ASS...DO NOT inflict this on anyone.
