Bryan, who cites influences ranging from the Beastie Boys to Garth Brooks to Heavy D & the Boyz, wrote "One Margarita" seemingly with just good times and simple fun on his mind, per The Boot. The song's straightforward lyrics encourage you to forget about your troubles, sip your drink, and unwind: "One margarita, two margarita, three, margarita, shot / Don't worry 'bout tomorrow / Leave all your sorrow out here on the floatin' dock." (via Genius) This ode to laidback fun is reminiscent of another famous song about the tequila-based beverage — Jimmy Buffett's "Margaritaville," which gets a nod with the lyric, "Hey, señorita, don't you think we need a salt and a Buffett song?"
As universal as good times with friends and margaritas may be, Bryan does confess that he may have had his fill of margaritas. "The problem with having 'One Margarita' as a hit [is] now everybody wants to send me three margaritas and a shot," he revealed to Delish, deadpanning, "People are trying to assassinate me with liquor." For an alternative, Bryan cites beer as another favorite, so here's hoping fans get the memo.
