In the Wild West that is dating in 2024, Parker Graye’s latest single “Halfway” serves as a poignant reminder not to settle for a partner who only meets you halfway.
This heartbreak love letter addresses the emotional distance, inconsistency, and fleeting attempts at mending a relationship, leaving one with nothing but a torn-up driveway.
A Modern Take on Country Storytelling
Parker’s songwriting in “Halfway” evokes the styles and themes found in the works of Ella Langley, Kacey Musgraves, Kelsea Ballerini, and Ashley Cooke. The song’s modern yet traditional country storytelling blends perfectly with its emotional depth and relatability, making it a standout track in today’s music landscape.
Written by Parker Graye alongside co-writers and producers Dan Botch and Garrett Ward, “Halfway” emerged during a period of reflection on past situationships. The song draws on themes from Parker’s personal experiences, encapsulating the sentiment of drawing a line in the sand: “If you’re coming back and here to stay, then you can’t love me halfway.”
