Tequila
Dan + Shay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can hang with anybody
I can drink whiskey and red wine
Champagne all night
Little Scotch on the rocks and I'm fine, I'm fine
But when I taste tequila
Baby, I still see ya
The same one you wore when we were
Sky high in Colorado, your lips pressed against the bottle
Swearing on a Bible, baby, I'd never leave ya
I remember how bad I need ya
When I taste tequila (when I, when I, when I)
When I taste tequila (when I, when I, when I)
I can kiss somebody brand new
And not even think about you
I can show up to the same bar
Hear the same songs in my car
Baby, your memory, it only hits me this hard
When I taste tequila
Baby, I still see ya
Cuttin' up the floor in a sorority T-shirt
The same one you wore when we were
Sky high in Colorado, your lips pressed against the bottle
Swearing on a Bible, baby, I'd never leave ya
I remember how bad I need ya (need ya)
When I taste tequila (when I, when I, when I)
When I taste tequila (when I, when I, when I)
I ain't even drunk, I ain't even drunk and I'm thinkin'
How I need your love, how I need your love, yeah, it sinks in
When I taste tequila
Baby, I still see ya
Sorority T-shirt
The same one you wore when we were
Sky high in Colorado, your lips pressed against the bottle
Swearing on a Bible, baby, I'd never leave ya
I remember how bad I need ya (need ya)
When I taste tequila (when I, when I, when I)
When I taste tequila, oh (when I, when I, when I)
When I taste tequila, oh (when I, when I, when I)
When I taste tequila (when I, when I, when I)
Oh
The lyrics to Dan + Shay's song Tequila are about the lingering memories and emotions that come flooding back when the singer tastes tequila. Despite being able to handle drinking other types of alcohol and being able to move on from his past relationships, he can't help but think of his ex-lover when he tastes tequila. The lyrics about seeing his ex-lover in her sorority t-shirt dancing in Colorado reveal that the memories are particularly vivid and visceral.
The use of sensory language in this song is particularly striking. The singer describes his memories of his ex-lover with specificity and detail, emphasizing the power of the senses to trigger memories and emotions. The language used to describe the taste of tequila, "cutting up the floor", and "lips pressed against the bottle" all evoke vivid images that add to the emotional impact of the song.
Overall, Tequila is a song about the power of memory and the intense emotions that can be triggered by something as simple as a taste or smell. The lyrics are beautifully written and capture the complexity of human emotion in a powerful way.

Normally, I'm not a fan of remixes cause they're never are as good as the original version. But, I'm really loving the summer vibe that this remix brings. We have the original which is full of emotion and now we have this version that we can dance too. Dan and Shay literally never disappoint!.
