Stream: “Never Drinking Again” – The Reklaws
With “Never Drinking Again,” The Reklaws serve up a song that’s equal parts hangover confession and hands-in-the-air party anthem.
It’s cheeky, relatable and irresistibly catchy – the kind of track that demands to be played with the windows down and the volume cranked right up.
I woke up Sunday morning
In my Saturday best
I got some wish I didn’t’s
There hanging over my head
I know we do this every weekend
We Rinse the bottle then repeat it
I woke up Sunday morning
Can’t find my Saturday dress
Why are my favourite memories
The ones that I forget
I know we do this every weekend
Say that we won’t but that’s some BS
From the first verse, the track taps into a universal truth: Many of us have had that night, and that morning after – the one where you swear off tequila forever, vow to make better choices, and start drafting apology texts before your head even clears. But instead of getting stuck in regret, the song spins the whole scenario into something more light-hearted. It’s not about shame – it’s about laughing at yourself, brushing it off … and maybe doing it all over again next weekend.
Started with one
Turned to two
Three sheets to the wind
Said I’m not going out
Then we painted it red
Yea that same ole bar
With the same ole friends
Guess I lied when I woke up and said
I’m never drinking again
I’m never drinking again, again, I said
I’m never drinking again
The chorus playfully pokes fun at the aftermath of an unforgettable summer night: “Never drinking again, until I’m drinking again / Saying I’m sorry, baby, I swear that’s the end / Till the sun goes down and I’m with my friends / Never drinking again… until I’m drinking again.”
It’s the kind of hook that hits harder because it’s true – and funny. You can almost hear the clinking bottles, the backseat laughter, and the way stories from the night before get retold with a little more exaggeration each time.
Vocally, the brother-sister Canadian country duo Jenna and Stuart Walker bring their usual banter, trading lines and harmonizing with a wink. It’s that signature Reklaws’ humor style that gives the song its edge. Their cheeky approach to storytelling doesn’t just entertain; it makes their music feel like the soundtrack to some of the best (and worst) decisions. There’s no judgment here, no moral lesson. Just a laid-back reminder that “never again” probably just means “not until Friday.”
Don’t tell me ’bout the party
Don’t tell me who’ll be there
Don’t even get me started
Don’t tell me when or where
Don’t go and tell me what I’m missing
You know I don’t take much convincing
Started with one
Turned to two
Three sheets to the wind
Said I’m not going out
Then we painted it red
Yeah that same old bar
With the same old friends
Guess I lied when I woke up and said
I’m never drinking again
I’m never drinking again, again, I said
I’m never drinking again
It’s a formula that worked for them last summer with their hit “One Beer Away” – a track that flirted with fate and possibility. But while that one leaned into hopeful what-ifs, “Never Drinking Again” dives straight into the chaos and comes out laughing.
The song will likely propel the duo further onto the global stage after their recent appearance on America’s Got Talent, which introduced The Reklaws to millions of new fans beyond their Canadian country roots, showcasing their vocal talent and easy charisma that’s made them a festival favourite at home. That same energy is all over this track.
Like the best summer songs, it doesn’t try too hard. It rides a wave of lighthearted rebellion and carefree fun – perfect for backyard parties, road trips or impromptu dance sessions in the kitchen. This one needs to be played loud and often … but maybe after the headache wears off!
