  Jake Owen has always loved songs with a top-down, wind-in-your-face groove like his new song, “Real Life.” (:28)
“I remember bein’ a kid with my friends, like when ‘Chattahoochee’ came out on the radio, and that (singing, mimicking the song’s instrumental opening), and, like, all you wanted to do was turn it up as loud as you could and ride down the road with your buddies, and we had a jeep, and we used to just play that in the jeep over and over. And so that’s what this song is, too. I mean, it’s a…to me, it’s not a song about the beach, but yet it still rides in the line and the vein of songs like ‘Beachin” and ‘Barefoot Blue Jean Night’: they both had those big singalong choruses, and that’s how ‘Real Life’ is.”
