Songfacts®:

• "Blink Twice" is a collaboration between American country rapper Shaboozey and British folky singer-songwriter Myles Smith. Released on April 11, 2025, the song focuses on the emotional turbulence of modern life, especially for young artists facing rapid change and public attention.
• The song was born from a mutual admiration from the two artists. The creative process involved joint writing sessions, with both artists contributing lyrics and melodies. Shaboozey's verses reflect on the dizzying pace of success, the exhaustion of always being somewhere else, and the strange hollowness that can come with getting everything you once wanted. Smith looks backward with a kind of hopeful regret, recalling youthful anxieties and urging us not to let life "drown in that old kitchen sink."
  
  "It's really about how time pulls us forward endlessly, and the importance of appreciating every moment," said Shaboozey. "Not letting it pass you by. Life is short, don't let it slip away."
• An infectious, folk-inflected track built on twangy finger-picked guitars, pounding drums and raucous stomps and claps, "Don't Blink" was helmed by Shaboozey's go-to producers Sean Cook and Nevin, along with Haffway.
• "Blink Twice" received its live debut four days before its release when Shaboozey joined Myles Smith on stage to perform the song during Smith's April 7, 2025, show in Los Angeles. It was included on the "complete edition" of Shaboozey's 2024 album Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going.
