Songfacts®:

  • This rock-heavy tune certainly ain't no celestial nursery rhyme. Over fuzzed-out guitar, Margo Price sings about the highs and lows of life as a musician.

    If it don't break you, it may just make you rich
    You might not get there
    And all of the way, it's a bitch


    Price used a candid, backstage conversation with Marty Stuart about the harsh and chaotic life on the road as inspiration for the song.
  • The colorful and surreal video, directed by Matthew Siskin (Father John Misty, Beyoncé), features retro magazine cutouts dancing around Price as she performs "Twinkle Twinkle."
