Content

"Buy My Own Drinks" is an uptempo "ebullient female anthem" about a woman who goes out for drinks following the end of a relationship and celebrates how she doesn't need a man.[3] It was written by all three members of Runaway June along with Josh Kear and Hillary Lindsey.[4]

Music video

The music video for the song premiered on March 1, 2019.[5] Directed by Peter Zavadil, it features the 3 members of the group as bartenders at a local bar, as well as younger versions of themselves reenacting each member's dreams if they weren't a singer: an artist, a dog groomer, and a bouncer.

Chart performance

"Buy My Own Drinks" debuted on the Billboard Country Airplay chart at number 59 on the chart dated October 6, 2018.[6] It reached the top 10 of the chart in September 2019, making it the first time a female group or trio had done so since SHeDAISY's "Don't Worry 'Bout a Thing" in 2005, fourteen years prior. It reached a peak of #8 later that month.[7] It also became the group's first chart single on the Billboard Hot 100, debuting at number 90 for the chart dated August 24, 2019.[8]

It has sold 42,000 digital copies in the United States as of October 2019.[9]

gollark: I tick those boxes there to allow it to index those sites.
gollark: I've made a bit of a frontend for my search engine thing. Though it can't actually do search yet, only crawl/index/whatever pages.
gollark: Basically, if I want to run a search it just goes `SELECT * FROM page_tokens WHERE token = 'one token in search query'` or something like that, and it now has a list of pages with the right token, and SQLite can execute this query relatively fast.
gollark: I mean, as far as I can tell there isn't really a faster *and* more storage-efficient way to do search than the inverted-index page_tokens thing.
gollark: ```sqlCREATE TABLE crawl_queue ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, url TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE, lockTime INTEGER, added INTEGER NOT NULL, referrer TEXT);CREATE TABLE pages ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, url TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE, rawContent BLOB NOT NULL, rawFormat TEXT NOT NULL, textContent TEXT NOT NULL, updated INTEGER NOT NULL);CREATE TABLE page_tokens ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, page INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES pages(id), token TEXT NOT NULL, weight REAL NOT NULL);CREATE TABLE links ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, toURL TEXT NOT NULL, fromURL TEXT NOT NULL, lastSeen INTEGER NOT NULL, UNIQUE (toURL, fromURL))```Here is the database.
