Mary Mary

Pop-country with a stomping midtempo groove, swung handclaps, acoustic guitar chugs, bright bass, and a steady backbeat; verse starts intimate with sparse guitar and brushed percussion, pre-chorus opens with rising harmony stacks and a tambourine lift, chorus hits with gang vocals and a chantable hook. Lead vocal stays close-mic and sly, with doubled lines on the hook, quick delay throws on the title, and playful ad-libs tucked left and right. Ear candy includes reverse acoustic swells into the pre, a pedal-steel cry between lines, and a final chorus key lift. Bright, glossy, and punchy with a live-room feel.
