Demo of the Week: “Beat the Traffic”
Writers: Mark Leach, Davis Branch, Robyn Collins
Vibe: Playful, flirty
Key Lyrics: “Why don’t we go out the back door, instead of fighting all the people on the second floor . . . I’ve been waiting all night for the rest of the night to happen / If we go right now maybe we can beat the traffic”
Could be a good fit for: Brett Young, Thomas Rhett, Lauren Alaina
X factor: A witty use of literal logistics (navigating bar crowds, long drives home, traffic jams) as metaphors for can’t-get-enough romantic feelings
