Key Points

- He captioned his Instagram post “WE DID IT YALL / WE NO.1 / NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS! / I LOVE Y’ALL / HAPPY A BAR SONG DAY / TAKE A DOUBLE SHOT OF WHISKEY 4 ME! VA TO THE WORLD!”
- Shaboozey took to X “The actual feeling of having your “dreams come true” is indescribable, and I hope everyone gets to experience it at some point in life.”
Broader View
- Shaboozey opened up about his track on Audacy, “Not to ruin anybody’s time, but ‘A Bar Song’ is… a song that sounds happy, but if you look at it from a different perspective, it’s also like, a song about someone who is having some struggles that are trying to get through it. “And in the moment, it seems like we’re having a great time, but then… It’s kinda sad. Like, ‘I’m at the bottom of a bottle don’t miss me… It’s good storytelling,” he told Audacy.
- ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ by Shaboozey takes inspiration from J-Kwon‘s hit song ‘Tipsy’, which was released in 2004.
