Maren Morris says that her song “80s Mercedes” is more about an attitude than an actual car. You can drive whatever you own, and still have that feeling of fun and freedom. Maren admits that she didn’t grow up driving cool cars, but at least when her song is on “it’s like for that three minute moment of the song you’re in a freaking Mercedes.”

  Maren Morris talks about her new single “80s Mercedes” (:43)
“Even non 90’s babies have told me that they love that song because it’s just so fun, and I liked that that day I was sort of equating myself to this car like ‘Ain’t made for practicality, yeah I guess she’s just like me.’ I feel like that day it was just fun for me to really dive in, and write the song from a different perspective, but if you’re driving a Jetta or a Pinto it’s like for that three minute moment of the song you’re in a freaking Mercedes. So, I think that’s the headspace I was in the day we wrote it, but I didn’t grow up around cool cars. (laugh)”
