"Shotgun" is a song by British singer-songwriter George Ezra. The song was written by Ezra, Fred Gibson Bottle Studio and Joel Pott and produced by Cam Blackwood. It was released as a digital download on 18 May 2018, as the third single from Ezra's second studio album Staying at Tamara's.[2][3][4] The song reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Ezra's first number-one song in the United Kingdom, and was certified quintuple platinum in the country. In addition, it topped the ARIA Singles Chart in Australia, also becoming Ezra's first number-one there, as well as the Irish Singles Chart and New Zealand Singles Chart.

Composition

"Shotgun" is originally in the key of F major, with a tempo of 116 beats per minute and a chord progression of F–B♭–Dm–C.[5]

In 2019 it was revealed that Irish country music singer Derek Ryan will be awarded royalties (of seven and a half per cent) for the song due to its similarity to the chorus of Ryan's song Flowers In Your Hair released in 2014. [6]

Critical reception

In a review for NME, Rhian Daly described the song as "anthemic" with a "balmy sound".[7]

Music video

A lyric video, which has Ezra performing the song in multiple locations, was first released on YouTube on 18 May 2018 and has over 300 million views as of March 2022.[8] The official music video was also released on YouTube on 14 June 2018 and has over 70 million views as of March 2022.[9]
