Carrie Underwood talks about her new hit, “Smoke Break.” (:35)
“‘Smoke Break’ is all about the overworked, the tired, the people that just run to catch up. You’re just trying to meet expectations — your own expectations, your family’s expectations, your work expectations. Like, everybody’s just trying to reach something that’s just out of reach and working so hard to do it. And the crazy thing is, there’s always gonna be something out of reach. There’s always gonna be something that you’re gonna be just runnin’ yourself ragged to be tryin’ to do. ‘Smoke Break’ is all about just takin’ a step away for just a minute.”
