The Real Meaning Of Luke Bryan's One Margarita Explained

Sometimes, there are songs that have layers upon layers of multi-faceted meaning, and sometimes — as is the case with Luke Bryan's "One Margarita" — what you hear is exactly what you get. The song — which can be viewed as an ode to the classic Jimmy Buffett tune "Margaritaville" it references in one of its later verses — is simply about kicking back, taking a sip of your margarita of choice (or two, or three). "One Margarita" is all about good vibes and enjoying whatever offerings the summer has to bring.

The music video for "One Margarita" also lends itself to this (frankly singular) interpretation. As country music site The Boot noted back in April 2020, the "One Margarita" video features Bryan bartending for a bevy of "customers" — one of whom is the singer's mother, LeClaire Bryan, in a surprise cameo. 

"I've got some stuff that I've looked at, that I'm going into the studio to record, that sounds very vintage-like, but then I've got some stuff that has some new and different sounds on it," the country singer said in an interview with Taste of Country at the Hometown Rising country music festival in September 2019. "I think I always kind of have to marry the two. I'm not gonna have some album with every track is gonna have steel guitar on it, but do I have steel guitar on this album? Yeah."
