"Mayday"

Content

The song is about a woman who knows that she shares the bed with the wrong person.

Critical Reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country stated that "“Burning House” was an apologetic plea to an ex-boyfriend, and “Mayday” is dressed in humility as well. That’s about where the two songs quit being similar. This love-long-gone ballad finds the singer trying to abandon something she (and he) knows is bad for her. Once again her vulnerable flutter stands out, but this time she’s shouldered by a more industrial arrangement. It’s still sparse, but much more imposing".[2]
