Nashville, Tenn. – Country songstress Megan Barker has released her playful new single, “South Dakota.” It is available at all major digital retailers.
Nashville Noise exclusively Premiered the new song. Listen at this link.
Produced by Dave Flint and co-written by Barker along with Greg Friia and Keyton Romero, “South Dakota” is a playful and fun romp that perfectly encapsulates Barker’s brand, which often leans on humor and lighthearted themes to disarm her listeners while she reels them in to join her legions of fans.
“’South Dakota’ is such a fun song to play live! People love to sing along with the ‘are you comin’s’ after the chorus,” states Barker. “I’m so excited for the song to be out in the world. I think the track is full of energy and that perfectly aligns with the lyrics. The girl is saying, ‘hey boy, I like you, but I wanna see the world so I’m hitting the road. You comin’ or not?’ I love this girl’s attitude and I hope all the listeners do too.”
“‘Cause I’m going South, Dakota
Maybe to Tennessee
I’d love to show ya
The view from my front seat
I wasn’t lookin’ for love
I wasn’t lookin’ for you
Some would call it destiny
I’m going South, Dakota
Are you coming with me?
Are you comin’
Are you comin’
Are you comin,’ boy?”
Coming off a strong 2023 which saw her make her Tin Pan South debut alongside the legendary Mike Reid, Mitch Rossell, and Joel Shewmake, performing at Atlanta’s iconic Eddie’s Attic, playing a string of successful Texas shows, including opening for The Wilder Blue at the iconic Dosey Doe’s Big Barn, and releasing three strong singles back-to-back which surpassed hundreds of thousands of streams, Barker is gearing up for an even bigger 2024.
