"Shotgun" was a 2022 single from Sometimes, Forever, the third album from Soccer Mommy, and it's a love song with dirt under its fingernails. Sophie Allison wrote it about her partner Julian Powell, who plays guitar in her band and on the record, and she has said she wanted to catch the small moments in a relationship that stay with you, the pleasure of getting lost in someone.
Daniel Lopatin produced and recorded it and added synthesizer, with Rodrigo Avendano and Powell on guitars, Graeme Goetz on bass and Rollum Haas on drums. Critics heard a harder, grimier turn from her earlier indie rock; PopMatters called it dancey and grungy and set it beside the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" and Björk's "Army of Me". It even got a Simlish version for The Sims 4: High School Years.
