PARMALEE - Cowgirl - Stoney Creek Records
As 2024 drew to a close, Parmalee earned their fifth #1 single, “Gonna Love You”, capping a year that saw the North Carolina group take their career to yet another level. Releasing their first single of the new year just a matter of weeks into 2025, they are sharing the debut track from their forthcoming album with the world. “Cowgirl” is available now, both digitally and on all streaming platforms, via Stoney Creek Records.
Written by lead singer Matt Thomas along with producer David Fanning and James Daniel Lewis, Peter Daniel Newman, Robbie Jay, and Thomas Frank Ridley Horsley, the new track powers up and builds on the energy and fun Parmalee has become known for over the years.
“It’s about falling in love with that cowgirl or just somebody different that has you going out and trying new things, and you’re loving every bit of it,” Thomas said.
The song is exactly what we have come to expect from these guys, infusing country charm and street style for a groovy and irresistibly catchy account of a new love interest and infatuation that these guys have effortlessly-capture over the years. Creatively-witty lyrics accompany a deliciously-catchy beat to result in a song that will surely be yet-another fan favorite.
“I fell in love with a cowgirl
I’m followin’ her curves like a backroad
The way she fit it in them Levis
Make a man never wanna go home
I only came for a minute
Now she make me wanna live it
Yeah, her southern charm ain’t no joke
Thank God for the cowgirl
I fell in love with a cowgirl
And I ain’t comin’ home”
