Hey Whiskey - Tim McGraw - MP3 instrumental karaoke

In this cautionary tale, prolific Louisiana country star and actor Tim McGraw painfully addresses the drink that took "every penny in my pocket" and made him "say things I don't mean" "to the only girl that ever made me choose." He uses the form of a soft-toned, steel-streaked country ballad to convey the hurt still occupying his mind and body as he asks, "Hey, whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?" Tim McGraw has spoken publicly about his struggles with alcohol and has been sober since 2008, explaining in 2021 that he turned to Faith Hill—his wife of over 25 years—for help and support at his lowest point. Created by Brad Warren, Brett Warren, Brad Hutsell, and Joel Hutsell, "Hey Whiskey" was one of the close-up confessionals housed on Tim McGraw's sixteenth studio album, Standing Room Only, released through Big Machine Records in August 2023. The LP was produced by Tim McGraw and Byron Gallimore.
