MARYNN TAYLOR - same girl same - Black River Entertainment

Coming off a tremendous 2024 that saw impactful movement into her next chapter, MaRynn Taylor has recently been earning rave reviews as a support act on Kelsea Ballerini’s current tour, and she now follows the acclaimed “Season 2 of Friends” with her first release of the new year.

“same girl same” is available on all digital and streaming platforms via Black River Entertainment.

Already being praised as a fan favorite, the song co-written by Taylor, Josh Kerr, and Jason Saenz expertly balances her established signature flares and distinctive characteristics against a sonic flow that presents a new dynamic in what becomes a glowing highlight of her willingness to move her sound forward.

The moodiness embedded into the instrumentation through the intro softly guides the melody like an understanding shoulder of a trusted friend as the natural innocence of Taylor’s vocal prowess ebbs and flows into the opening verse.

Painting the “trust me, I get it” picture, she travels the broken-hearted situation her friend is dealing with in the here and now by revisiting her own similar experience at the same bar with the same pick-up lines, barstool jokes, and hard to resist bad boy; the type who is draped in red flags that are much too easy to miss when your heartbeat skips into overdrive.

With a melodic lift that pushes the chorus into an urgency like feel, Taylor non-judgmentally laments alongside her friend’s fractured heart, gripping the same hurt and pain from the perspective of how can I blame you for allowing your heart to fall when I did the same?

“Same girl, same

I wouldn’t blame you

For falling that far into eyes that blue

Getting all caught up

On the hood of that car

Professing his love like he’s setting that bar

Taking him back home, trying on his last name

You’ll never see it coming ‘cause you think he’s gonna stay

‘Til a Tuesday night

You feel your heart break

Watching him drive away

Same girl, same

I’ve been the same girl, same”

With each next song she releases, MaRynn Taylor is growing a strong bond between her and her 20-something demographic, navigating the trenches of life’s inevitable ups and downs together while becoming a trusted peer that just simply gets it cause she’s right there with you. “same girl same” absolutely follows suit while intriguingly perking your ears and piquing your interest for what’s still to come from one of country music’s brightest shining newcomers.
