Image Courtesy UMG NashvilleSam Hunt‘s latest hit, “Take Your Time,” tells the story of a guy trying to pick up a girl in a bar, but he took pains to write the song in a way that would show a classy exchange between two people.
Says Sam, “I think those interactions between strangers, in terms of a guy going up and pursuing a lady or introducing himself or expressing his interest, that can get cliché at times. It can get kind of sleazy and shallow.”
Instead of listing all the great things about himself, the guy in “Take Your Time” is careful to point out what an honor it would be for the girl to spend a few moments talking to him.
“Hopefully, the singer in this song and what he’s saying overcomes some of those stereotypes,” Sam explains, “and you can see past just a surface attraction and you can see that he’s genuinely interested in this girl, who has just completely gotten his attention.”
“Take Your Time” is the second-consecutive #1 hit from Sam’s debut album, Montevallo, available now.
