Through an easy country love song, Lainey Wilson’s “4x4xU” takes listeners on a scenic drive through the high of romance and the trippy feeling of simply being with your loved one. The lyrics tell the story of driving through mountains, cities, and oceans—just you and that person you hold dear. From note one, Lainey gives vibes of freedom, comfort, and connection. Whether it’s on the tailgate by the fire or blasting down the highway, she reminds us love’s right there in the little moments.
Her voice is warm and easy, emotional yet unforced. The line “I’m the kind to take the keys, don’t sit in the shotgun seat” reflects her independence — but how love can push someone to want to share a measure of control. It’s a cut down message wrapped in a steady rhythm and country charm. The chorus’ recurring “4x4xU” makes a pun on the truck’s moniker and the relationship, suggesting both are the best way to travel when you’re alone with someone special.

This song pays homage to Lainey’s storytelling style. She knows how to make the listener feel like they’re riding shotgun—windows down, music up, heart open. It’s not the destination; it’s who’s next to you. That relaxed but emotional mood pairs beautifully with scenes she sings about, from small towns to big cities, illustrating how love feels like home no matter where you go.
Though “4x4xU” concerns love and peace, Lainey veers into a different lane with “Devil Don’t Go There,” a searing and emotional anthem about betrayal and heartbreak. Here, Lainey shares the story of a man so cruel the devil himself wouldn’t stoop that low. The contrast is powerful. After reveling in the sweetness of love, Lainey pulls no punches in revealing what occurs when trust is broken.

The lyrics land heavy — lines like “Even the devil don’t go there, the way you did me that night” illustrate how deep the pain runs. The strength and the sorrow in her voice and each word captures the raw emotion. It’s a brave, enduring way to discuss pain — and it demonstrates Lainey’s fearless truth in her music. She’s unafraid to share the messy, brutal side of love, as well as its joys.
Lainey Wilson shines as possibly the most relatable and empowering voice in country music. Whether she’s reminiscing on one of her exes in “4x4xU” or putting a heartbreaker on blast and calling him out on “Devil Don’t Go There,” she imparts truth and heart to each song.
