Georgia-born country-pop artist Abigail Mae is turning heartbreak into a celebration with her fiery new single, “Takin’ Shots,” the final preview of her highly anticipated debut EP. Packed with warm-weather energy, a dash of side-eye, and plenty of Southern sass, the track is a toast to freedom—the kind that comes when you trade tears for tequila and let the music do the healing.
Blending beachy pop melodies with her signature country grit, “Takin’ Shots” isn’t about dwelling on the past—it’s about dancing through it. The song flips the script on breakup anthems, trading sorrow for sun-soaked resilience. “It’s not about heartbreak… It’s about getting over it, having fun, and finding joy in the aftermath,” Abigail says. With its infectious rhythm and carefree attitude, the track feels like a girls’ night anthem in the making, perfect for rolling down the windows or raising a glass to new beginnings.
This release follows “Devil’s in the Details,” a sharp-eyed take on red flags and hard lessons. Where that track leaned into introspection, “Takin’ Shots” cranks up the playfulness while keeping the raw honesty that defines Abigail’s music. Together, the two singles paint a picture of what’s to come on her debut EP—a project that promises to balance vulnerability with unapologetic confidence.
Drawing inspiration from powerhouse women like Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, and Lainey Wilson, Abigail Mae carves out her own space in country-pop with a sound that’s both fresh and timeless. “Music can make people feel anything,” she says, and her songs swing between fiery independence and down-home sincerity. Whether she’s spinning a tale of revenge or celebrating small-town roots, her lyrics feel lived-in, like stories swapped over sweet tea on a front porch.
But don’t let the charm fool you—Abigail’s got bite. “I’m incredibly likely to sit down and write a song about keying a car if someone does me dirty,” she jokes. Yet beneath the sass is a artist who values kindness as much as honesty, crafting music that’s as relatable as it is rebellious.
With “Takin’ Shots” out now and her debut EP on the horizon, Abigail Mae is poised to make her mark. For fans of country-pop that’s equal parts heart and hustle, she’s the ride-or-die artist to watch.
