Buy My Own Drinks

Dann Huff produced it. Wayne told PopCulture.com on August 31, 2018 that it was written in the first session in which all three wrote together, that Josh Kear brought the title, that they were pretty careful to make it really empowering while inclusive of everybody, for a woman on her self-love journey, and that they performed it a few weeks later and recorded it for the EP without a demo. Wikipedia describes a woman who goes out for drinks after a breakup and celebrates not needing a man; Cooke tied it to her taste in high-shelf tequila, saying it is how she buys her own drinks. It went to radio on August 20, 2018, debuted on Country Airplay at 59, and peaked at 8 in September 2019, the first top 10 for a female group since SHeDAISY's "Don't Worry 'Bout a Thing" in 2005; on the Hot 100 it reached 88. Country Now called its June 2019 top 20 the first by an all-female trio in 14 years, and BBR called its top five on Mediabase the first for a female trio since the Dixie Chicks in 2003. It is RIAA gold, with 42,000 digital copies by October 2019.
