Jake Owen - “Something About A Woman”

look here mr. brady.

my name is caroline, and im jake’s cousin. “something about a woman” is an incredible song. and tons of people think so as well if you visit his website, myspace, etc. “something about a woman” is his next release for a new single. let me tell you something, that song is going to amazing just as his other songs have. i know everyone has their own opinion, but in this case, your opinion is completely wrong. same with you MFRANK. jake wrote the song and the meaning isnt about the joy of women in bikini. its about watching his woman and realizing how amazing she truly is. by the way, jake has more talent in his fingernail then you will ever have in your whole body. i know im coming off as rude, but hey, i got to stand up for the people i care most about in this world.

I’m sure it was released because it’s the earliest radio-friendly track remaining on his debut CD. “The Bad In Me” is far too rock to make it on radio, and with “Something About a Woman” the second track, it became the logical next release (with the way the labels seem to work). I would have preferred “Ghosts” to be his next single, although there’s really not much else on his CD worth becoming a single (even “Ghosts” is melodically very similar to “That’s What I Love About Sunday”). They may have been better off keeping the singles from his first album at two, and gotten some new material.

I think the label is trying to exhibit the wide range of Jake Owen’s music and introduce the listeners to a new artist. With ‘Yee Haw’ (a fun loving party song as his first release), then a very serious ‘Startin With Me’ (showing a deeper side of Jake), a lighter tribute to how men feel about women with ‘Something About A Woman’ rounds out the artist and shows that he is a talented songwriter capable of writing a range of music. I don’t feel that anyone is pandering to women. ‘Something About A Woman’ is a solid song. It’s not ‘deep’ but it ‘feels good,’ and remember that Jake is 25 so he probably thinks a lot about women, which makes it ‘real.’ Isn’t that what a country song is about? Like it or not, this is a business and like everyone else I’m sure the artist would like to make a living with their songwriting. It makes sense to write a song that is real to them, as well as one that would appeal to radio listeners and the concert goers that pay to see them perform. I don’t call that pandering, I call it being a professional. I personally love Jake Owen’s entire CD and there are several cuts that I feel are also worthy of becoming singles. Having said that, I have also seen him perform ‘Something About A Woman’ live, and I will tell you that it is most definitely a crowd pleaser - not only with women, but with the men as well. I think it is a very relatable song to everyone with a catchy melody, great vocals, and is worthy of becoming a hit.

I just heard “Something about a Woman” for the first time a few minutes ago. It was brought to me by a long time lady friend that said when she heard it she thought of me. I listened to it, and it really does say allot that is inside of me towards my woman. As long as I’ve listened to country, yea it is manufactured by the industry most always, but Jake puts into it the necessary ingredients to make it palatable to the industry with just enough of his uniqueness to make it felt. Thanks Jake.
