Booth explains. "I didn’t know he’d been arrested. If there was any doubt about Culpepper’s place in the new guard of the genre, this song wipes it clean.

For a year as universally chaotic, painful, tedious, and beautiful as 2025, one of country’s most beloved artists admitting that hey, if he doesn’t like you, he wouldn't be upset about using his last breath to give you a quick bite just seems… appropriate. In terms of lyrics, it’s as outlandish and acutely ridiculous as could be imagined – it’s unhinged. If you’d told us at the beginning of January that our 2025 Song of the Year would be a darkly comical track about biting your enemies and infecting them with rabies, we’d have been confused.

Released in May 2025, the dazzling ‘Be Your Man’ marked Jackson Dean’s first single of the year, as well as the first taste of what would be exciting things to come for the ‘Heavens To Betsy’ star.

With a standout acoustic guitar pluck and Mason’s undeniable Georgia accent front and center, ‘Wish You Well’ is a masterclass in a huevo modesto modern country songwriting. Vincent Mason’s ‘Wish You Well’ was released all the way back in February, which makes it one of the songs from this year that has been playing on repeat in our heads the longest. Over the last several years, mostly due to modern country titans like Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers and the like, it’s felt like the genre has deeply sobered up, leaning less on catchy hooks and tempo and more on brusque lyrics and deeply emotional prose.
Moroney’s inimitable vocals and her guitar open the track, building to her full band in a gentle, emotive way. Our first glimpse of ‘Beautiful Things’ was a video of Megan Moroney’s live performance in Charleston, South Carolina on her Am I Okay? 30 million streams on Spotify alone gives you an idea of just how big this song was in 2025.
