Guys Do It All the Time

Regarded as a feminist anthem, "Guys Do It All the Time" is a song about the female narrator doing things that guys normally do, like getting home late and using money to wash her truck instead of mowing the front yard, and using it against them, explaining how women should need actual reasons, not excuses. It is performed in the key of C major with a metronome of 84. ==Critical reception==

Deborah Evans Price of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that its "infectious, uptempo groove and clever lyric should ensure repeated play." She goes on to call McCready's voice "likeable" and says that she "delivers this song about turning the tables on men with sassy style." Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe said "its role reversal storyline is coated with just enough sugar from McCready’s twangy performance to make its cutting gender commentary go down smoothly." == Chart performance ==
