Texas-based country music sensation D’Lee makes waves once again with her latest single: “Take a Good Time Too Far.” With some hints of alt-rock blended in with her signature country-pop sweetness, this is a bright, impulsive track that’s meant to be enjoyed unapologetically.
The glittering guitars alongside D’Lee’s playful vocals sell the idea from the first bar: you immediately think of summertime, mindless joyrides, and perhaps a casual fling. The production plays right along with this concept, maintaining a level of polish while still allowing enough grit in the guitar tones and the mix to let the song breathe.

Vocally, D’Lee is the song’s anchor. She can hold a soft, storytelling phrase and then power up into the soaring chorus without missing a bit. This dynamic shapes the emotional landscape of the track: it’s not just about the thrill of the moment; it’s about being carried away by it until you take the good times a bit too far.
What’s really great about this single is that the lyrics are instantly relatable without being basic or derivative. The setup is perfect, as it hints at that state of turmoil you find yourself in, maybe after a tough breakup, or a particularly stressful few weeks at work:
“A wound that needs a healing, the kind you won’t regret,
I’m looking for a reason and I know that we just met.”
And of course, the solution is to dive into a reckless romance; late-night scenes and physical abandon that sketch a single, vivid episode of giving in. D’Lee sings of “Runnin’ red lights, makin’ out in your car/Losin’ myself, kickin’ off my heels,” using sensory and cinematic images that put you in the passenger seat.
This single continues the trajectory people have noticed from D’Lee: a rising, genre-bending artist polishing an identity that sits between country storytelling and alt/pop grit. The track leads up to her EP fifty-five, and if you’ve heard her earlier singles, this one feels like a natural evolution.
