WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THE SONG:
I’ve wanted to do my own take on a cover song for ages, and originally planned on releasing ‘These Boots Are Made For Walking’. I play it live and really enjoy performing it too. After bouncing some ideas around in the studio we joked about covering something completely different to my style. I’ve listened to a lot of Nelly recently and his collaborations with Florida Georgia Line and the recent Chance the Rapper Country cover of ‘Hot in Here’ for Jimmy Kimmel got us all thinking. ‘Big for your Boots’ just sounds like a country song waiting to happen so we took a chance and went with it! I think it’s great now that we can blend genres and really have fun with music. There’s no rules these days!” Says Eleri.
Eleri further adds “It was a really fun process rearranging such a different sound, we broke down the lyrics and restructured it so it had more of a traditional Chorus section and switched up some of the slang for some fun American country-isms. I don’t think anyone should take this too seriously but it’s sure been fun sending it out to my friends and seeing if they can guess what song it is”.
