Erin Bloomer is embracing a playful vibe with her new song, “ride a cowboy (save a horse).” Inspired by a catchy saying and her love for the TV show Yellowstone, she’s taken a lighter approach to songwriting than her earlier, more intense tracks. This new song showcases her sense of humor and playful spirit.
What’s exciting about artists is their ability to surprise us. After sticking to a particular style, trying something new can lead to fresh ideas. For Bloomer, this means swapping out the tough attitude found in her previous songs for something that lets her have fun.
It all started with a phrase that made her smile and inspired her to write the song. Her fascination with cowboys and the show Yellowstone helped her shape the idea. Instead of taking the theme too seriously, she leaned into the fun and humor. This willingness to experiment gives “ride a cowboy (save a horse)” its unique charm. Songwriting doesn’t always have to come from serious emotions or conflicts. Sometimes, a fun idea is all it takes to spark creativity, especially when it allows the artist to explore a different mood.
The song's playful nature creates room for a more mischievous style. The title makes it clear this isn’t a heavy song, instead, it invites listeners to enjoy the humor and novelty as Erin steps outside her usual style. For Bloomer, trying something new is part of what makes this release exciting. It lets listeners see a different side of her personality, making this song a fun way to expand her musical identity.
