Songfacts®:

• The second single released by Natalie Stovall and the Drive, the Country-Rock tune was written by Sarah Buxton, Jesse Frasure and Tina Parol. "'Mason Jar' is a song that we have been looking for for a long time," guitarist Miguel Cancino said. "It's like that vibe, that groove, that energy of the song, it's definitely something that we've been pursuing for a while."
• Stovall said regarding the song's meaning: "It's using the metaphor of drinking up a mason jar as how you can't get enough of this love that you're in at the moment."
• A Mason jar is a molded glass jar used in canning to preserve food. It was invented and patented in 1858 by Philadelphia tinsmith John Landis Mason. The easy and re-usable jars made home canning popular for mid 19th century Americans, but most Mason jars were manufactured by competitors after his patent expired in 1879.
