Emma Forgette has once again charged in like a rodeo champion with fire in her voice and steel in her stride. Her newest single, “I Got A Thing For Cowboys,” is a line-dancing, neon-lit barn burner that confirms what many already know, she’s easily one of the most exciting young voices in contemporary country music.

Born in New Jersey but raised with true Southern heart in Ocala, Florida, Emma brings a bold, unfiltered charm to the genre. It’s the kind you can’t fake, the kind that makes audiences lean in and listen. On this track, she unleashes it in full force. Channeling the unapologetic bravado of her musical heroes, “I Got A Thing For Cowboys” arrives with attitude, swagger, and enough kick to light up every honky-tonk, club, and country bar from Nashville to Nevada.

The moment the song starts, you can practically hear the dust rising off the dance floor. A driving rhythm section lays the groundwork for twangy, classic country-rock guitar riffs that feel equal parts modern with that much needed old-school grit. The production is slick and radio-ready, but it never loses the fun of true country dance music. Everything about the instrumentation feels tailor-made for crowds, creating a song that invites two-stepping as much as it does singalongs. Believe us, by the end of our listen, we were humming right along with that chorus that still hasn’t left our heads.

But it’s Emma’s voice, versatile, powerful, and overflowing with personality, that transforms it from a strong single into a bona fide breakout moment. She slides effortlessly between playful confidence and full-throttle vocal power, showcasing a dynamic range that makes every line hit with weight. Whether she’s delivering a sassy wink or unleashing a soaring chorus, Emma sounds completely in command. She’s the heart and soul of the song, even though everything else you hear is necessary.

The lyrics are pure country fun as they’re easy to latch onto, irresistible to shout along with, and overflowing with charm. This is the kind of song you know by heart before it’s even finished playing once. It’s an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt the magnetic pull of a cowboy swaggering through a room, and it captures that feeling with humor and heart.

We’ve always loved what we heard in the past, don’t get us wrong, but this one and the replayability it has is unstoppable. Crank it up, follow along, and stay tuned for the latest by clicking those links below!
