Lily Meola may have pulled some inspiration from touring with Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real in "Cowboy," the second iteration of her upcoming project. Meola brings out an alt-country side in her songwriting and vocal, where she experiments with a slight twang in the opening section of the single. For fans of Kacey Musgraves and Maggie Rogers, the track features pop sensibilities layered over a groovy baseline and driving percussion. Meola shares the meaning behind the track very honestly as, “The story of a lover who’s just better off alone," which is summarized in the lyric "Lovers don’t leave so easy / So why’d you leave me / Guess you’re just a cowboy after all." The charming songstress continues to steal the hearts of many audiences, from pop lovers to cowgirls alike.
