Guitar chords Tequila

Tequila was written by Dan Smyers, Nicolle Galyon, and Jordan Reynolds. Dan Smyers, one half of the duo Dan + Shay, shared that the inspiration came while on a trip in Colorado. He was playing the piano when the melody struck him, and the song quickly came together. It centers on the impact that tequila and associated memories can have, invoking feelings about a lost love.
