Country music singer-songwriter Makenzie Phipps’ new single, “Love Me Sober,” out today, brings to the forefront the effects of alcohol and substance abuse in a relationship. With haunting lyrics, an edgy musical arrangement, and a truly modern feel, the song delivers a raw and emotional narrative. Alcohol abuse remains a major issue, contributing to over 178,000 deaths annually in the U.S. and playing a role in domestic abuse. Through “Love Me Sober,” Phipps sheds light on these harsh realities, using her music to spark conversations and raise awareness about the toll of addiction.

“I’m so excited for the release of my new single “Love Me Sober.” I love writing songs that have deep meanings to them, and I feel the message behind this song is one that somebody may need to hear. If this song is able to help someone through difficult times, then that means more to me than any award in the world. I can’t wait to hear what everybody thinks!”

Love Me Sober

She’s been waitin’ on him to pull in the drive
Wondering what’s to come.
He’s been at the bar since quarter til 9
Downin Coke and rums
He’s broke her heart, she’s put it back together
Time and time again
He finally walks through the front door
And she asks “where the hell have you been?”

Chorus

She says I wish I was your bourbon glass
I’d be close to your fingertips
And I wish I was a cigarette
Cuz I’d be finally near your lips
We’ve cussed and fought for so damn long
But there’s no saving what’s over
I just never understood how hard it was
For you to love me… sober.
