Alabama-based Australian country artist Lucie Tiger turns up the heat with her latest single “Cowboy Love Me,” a honky-tonk fuelled getaway fantasy bursting with flirtation, neon lights, whiskey shots and just enough cowboy swagger to cause trouble. Set beneath Texas moonlight and across dusty dance floors, the track transforms temptation into an irresistible country two-step.Written by Lucie Tiger O’Connor, Mark Benton Narmore, Stephanie C. Brown and Maddye Trew, Cowboy Love Me flips the traditional country narrative on its head—putting the woman firmly in charge of the adventure.“I wanted this song to feel like that electric moment when you lock eyes with someone across a crowded bar and think, ‘Well… this could get interesting,’” says Lucie Tiger. “It’s flirtation, sassy confidence, and a little trouble wrapped up in one night.”“So many country songs are about cowboys riding off into the sunset. I thought, what if the girl gets to choose the adventure this time? That’s where ‘Cowboy Love Me’ came from—she’s bold, she’s fun, and she knows exactly what she wants.”“It started as Maddye and I joking about how we still hadn’t found ‘our cowboy’—and then we realized we’d written a whole song about the fantasy of one walking straight into our arms in a honkytonk.”Now based in Muscle Shoals, Alabama since 2023, Lucie Tiger continues to carve out a powerful space in the heartland of American music.
