Seventeen is an age that usually comes with more questions than answers—but Reese Goode sounds like she’s figured out a good few already. Her debut single “Take It Back“, taken from her first EP “Truth“, lands with the kind of self-assurance most of us only wish we had in high school. And honestly? It slaps. It’s country pop wrapped in a denim jacket, with just enough rock crunch to get your boots moving.
There’s something magnetic about the way “Take It Back” balances raw emotion with polish. You can feel the sting in the lyrics—this is someone who’s been talked over, compared, underestimated—but instead of getting bitter, Reese gets loud. There’s a pop-rock punch behind the verses, but it’s her voice that makes everything click: warm and friendly, but not afraid to stand its ground. She doesn’t over-sing, doesn’t over-prove. She just means it.
The track rides that sweet spot between 2000s country icons and modern teenage angst. Think Miranda Lambert meets early Kelly Clarkson, but with a fresher layer of honesty. Produced by Don Miggs (yes, the guy who’s worked with Dolly), the production knows exactly when to hold back and when to hit hard. And when the chorus kicks in, it’s all in—an emotional reset in full stereo, a call to take back your story from everyone who tried to write it for you.
About Reese Goode:
Born and raised in Texas, Reese Goode has been singing and writing since she was a kid, growing up on a steady diet of classic country and big female voices. “Truth“, her debut EP, is exactly what it says on the tin: songs built from real teenage experiences—love, heartbreak, friendship, the ache of becoming. But what’s striking is the control and clarity she brings to it all. She’s not just telling her story; she’s crafting it into something others can live inside too. If this is just the start, we’ve got a lot to look forward to.
