Andrew Puckett is literally bottling lightning. Five years after its release, his 2020 single “Ooh La La” still burns with the energy that turns a track into a time capsule of euphoria. Teaming up with collaborator AC Lee and producer Keenan Mussey, Puckett cooked an ode to those moments when everything just feels right – it’s a high-voltage celebration.
Now, Puckett’s not your average artist – he’s got this special touch. The guitar on this track is sneaky good. Sounds simple at first, but then you realize it’s this perfect blend of down-home twang and starry-night magic, a result of the “heavenly” vibe Puckett aimed to capture. But don’t go thinking this is some chill, kumbaya around the campfire type of song. The drumming (with groove-iness tighter than a leather jacket) slams beats that give the track its heartbeat. It’s got the vibe of a bunch of friends jamming in a garage and accidentally stumbling onto something incredible.
Puckett and Mussey cooked this up in some bedroom studio in Charlotte, with vocals like they’re stacking firewood—each layer making it burn hotter. Half the magic is in the little quirks: vocal tracks piled high, a mix-down scrambled mid-flight to LA (because why not?), and a tune so goood you’ll shout it before you know the words. Puckett’s songwriting here is pure rocket fuel, his lyrics nailing that giddy feeling of locking eyes with someone who makes your pulse skip. Written during a season of life where Puckett rode high on the love of his tribe, “Ooh La La” bottles that fleeting, golden-hour glow when everything clicks. The track’s warmth isn’t saccharine; it’s earned, like a big “screw you” to all the cynics out there, packaged in a tune you can’t just freaking shake off.
Andrew Puckett might’ve made “Ooh La La” five years back, but its staying power proves he’s no flash-in-the-pan artist. He’s dishing out rock that’s all heart and horsepower. With sunset drives, spilled beer, and grinning like you’ve got a secret, just roll down the damn windows, and let it remind you: sometimes, life deserves a loud, riff-heavy “hell yeah.”
