Meghan Patrick’s music video for her latest single “Cool About It”, was released October 27th and it is badass to say the least.
In her “Story Behind the Song” video for “Cool About It,” Patrick explains that it was one of the first songs she wrote during quarantine over Zoom. She’d been stuck with some writer’s block, and this was the first idea she had that she was excited about.
“When someone dumps you it doesn’t just break your heart, it kind of breaks your ego and your confidence.”
The concept is based on wanting to be someone else, covering up the heartbreak, trying to be the person you thought they wanted and showing them what they’re missing – acting cool about it.
“If a James Bond movie and Ocean’s 11 had a baby to a country song, it would be the video for ‘Cool About It’.”

The video was inspired by the line, “Don’t blow my cover, we ain’t here together.” Going undercover, remaining undetected, and pulling off something out of a James Bond movie, all while acting cool about it.

“I’m always striving to give my fans the unexpected, something more exciting than a glammed-up performance of the song. I also love finding ways to add more storyline to my songs and make it more of a mini movie than a music video.”
Meghan Patrick is an artist and entertainer and brought “Cool About It” to life in such a way that you can’t help but sway with the suave lyrics. The video brings an interesting metaphor to visual life and enhances the song’s story and origin.

Lyrics To “Cool About It” By Meghan Patrick
Lit cigarette
Little whiskey bent
Bottle tipping, slipping quarters in the jukebox
Red lipstick, studded leather jacket
Femme fatale James Dean, like a movie scene
Your love, I’m moving on without it
And looking like I’m cool about it
I know you know better
Than smoke rings and leather
So don’t blow my cover
We ain’t here together
I’m out here dancing to songs that I hate
Trying to be something we both know I ain’t
So baby be cool about it
Don’t tell ’em the truth
Cause I’ve got everybody fooled
Acting like I’m cool about it
But baby I ain’t cool about it
If you ask my friends
Ask ’em how I’ve been
I betcha that they’d tell ya I’ve been out here killing it
But it’s killing me
And I can’t let them see
That when you broke my heart
It’s like you said that I wasn’t cool enough
To keep your love
So don’t give away this act that I’m keeping up
I know you know better
Than smoke rings and leather
So don’t blow my cover
We ain’t here together
I’m out here dancing to songs that I hate
Trying to be something we both know I ain’t
So baby be cool about it
Don’t tell ’em the truth
Cause I’ve got everybody fooled
Acting like I’m cool about it
But baby I ain’t cool about it
This whiskey ain’t enough to drown it
But I’m looking like I’m cool about it
I know you know better
Than smoke rings and leather
So don’t blow my cover
We ain’t here together
I’m out here dancing to songs that I hate
Trying to be something we both know I ain’t
So baby be cool about it
Don’t tell ’em the truth
Cause I’ve got everybody fooled
Acting like I’m cool about it
But baby I ain’t cool about it
Oh baby I ain’t cool about it
So baby be cool about it
