Jake Owen’s Spit Cup: Is That Really Sexy?

By triggering his early career with “Somethin’ About A Woman” and “Don’t Think I Can’t Love You,” Jake Owen made a strong connection with female fans. And he seemed to be courting them again with the sexual references in his current hit, “Eight Second Ride.”
But women didn’t have as strong an influence on the song as Jake’s brother.
“He and all his buddies,” Jake says, “they’re like, ‘Man, all you do is write songs for girls, man. Your girlfriend — you’re always writin’ her tunes. Why don’t you write us a song that we can play in our trucks and have a good time with and crank it up loud?’ So it was like, ‘All right.’ So I did.”
