Very appealing! It must be country, because it's got the ironic reversal.

Everything about this - the sparse arrangement, the instrumentation, the repeated guitar part, the (relatively) dry guitar lead - says contemporary... I guess, because I've been out of the "contemporary" loop for some time now.

I really like the little things in the mix, like the "ticks" bopping around in the stereo field. The echoes on "laugh".

Nice builds and change on instrumentation throughout the song.

The lyrics clip along - you're together at the end of the first verse, and by the start of the second verse it's turned around and gone.

That's OK, because it's all about the chorus anyway.

A subtle but effective earworm - just enough of a hook to be a hook. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
