"Buy My Own Drinks" is a song recorded by American country music group Runaway June. It was released as a single in August 2018, and served as the second single from their self-titled EP and lead-off single to Blue Roses, their full-length debut album, both released via Wheelhouse.[1][2]
"Buy My Own Drinks" is an uptempo "ebullient female anthem" about a woman who goes out for drinks following the end of a relationship and celebrates how she doesn't need a man.[3] It was written by all three members of Runaway June along with Josh Kear and Hillary Lindsey.[4]
Music video
The music video for the song premiered on March 1, 2019.[5] Directed by Peter Zavadil, it features the 3 members of the group as bartenders at a local bar, as well as younger versions of themselves reenacting each member's dreams if they weren't a singer: an artist, a dog groomer, and a bouncer.
Chart performance
"Buy My Own Drinks" debuted on the Billboard Country Airplay chart at number 59 on the chart dated October 6, 2018.[6] It reached the top 10 of the chart in September 2019, making it the first time a female group or trio had done so since SHeDAISY's "Don't Worry 'Bout a Thing" in 2005, fourteen years prior. It reached a peak of #8 later that month.[7] It also became the group's first chart single on the Billboard Hot 100, debuting at number 90 for the chart dated August 24, 2019.[8]
