Ben Rector legitimately writes the most lovely, adorable songs out there. He has a very specific talent for capturing the simple yet profound joys of life, looking back on the past, and love. Pretty much any song by him, if I listen to it, I'll cry, whether they're happy tears, sad tears, or nostalgic tears, or maybe all of the above.

This newest single is a product of its time for sure, but it puts a positive spin on the usual complaining about the current state of the world – it's not so bad being stuck at home if you're with someone you can have fun with!

And if the world has got to end

You might as well just end up in my arms

And we'll leave on the news until the broadcast stops broadcasting

Yes, making drinks instead of plans while the record player's blasting

This single has the same signature, synth-heavy, happy-go-lucky 80's vibe that Ben Rector came to claim as his own on his last album, Magic. It's sweet, it's catchy, and you can't help but groove to it. Add this to your playlist of upbeat songs that are getting you through quarantine!

Thanks for reading!
