Mini Dress Princess '24 (Rock Version) (Single)

by Justin Bruce

/

about

In late 2023, I was remixing the original 2019 recording of MDP and I wanted to track in a new set of vocals and change the overall feel of the song. I never was completely satisfied with the way my vocals turned out on the original recording and I felt like I tried a little too hard to make it sound "country". With the '24 version, I placed much more emphasis on just getting better-sounding vocals and also giving it a more rock-oriented sound. I feel like the vocals on the '24 version turned out much better and it's ironic because it's basically a "live" take. I didn't spend a lot of time prepping and recording over and over again. I just took a shot at the vocals and kept it as-is and I feel like it sounds so much better and just really captures more of how it should have sounded originally.


Taken from original 2019 song release:

"I was driving home one day in early 2019 and the lyrics for Mini Dress Princess just started popping into my head. I think it might have taken several days to get everything in the right order and get the melody right. I ended up revising it a few times over several weeks before hitting the studio. It just seemed perfectly fitting as a classic upbeat country/rock dance hall song that tells the story of a young girl who puts up with the typical 9 to 5 job and hectic week and then hits the dance hall every weekend to party."

lyrics

LYRICS
Verse
Monday through Friday she’s 9 to 5 and brave the fray,
25 and living for day to day,
Come weekend time she’s tearing it down with red lipstick and little short gown,
You better stay out of her way, cause she’s

Chorus
Dressing up to get down,
Pushup bra and rhinestone crown,
Hell on heels and champagne thrills tonight, (Yeah)
She’s full of tricks and out all night,
Long blonde hair and shining bright,
Southern princess in a little black dress that’s tight,

Verse
She’s met hundreds of guys and had thousands of cries, I’m damn sure she’s all out of tries,
She says she’s never gonna hurt again,
She knows living the dream’s not quite what it seems, so she’s living like she’s still in her teens,
She always thinks to way back when, and she’s

Chorus
Dressing up to get down,
Pushup bra and rhinestone crown,
Hell on heels and prettiest damn thing in sight, (Yeah)
She’s big dreams, playthings,
Shiny cars and diamond rings,
Mini dress princess take me for a ride, (Yeah)

Chorus
(Yeah) Mini Dress Princess won’t you take me down,
Take me downtown,
(Yeah) Mini Dress Princess won’t you take me down,
Take me down, take me down, downtown,
And take me for a ride, yeah, won’t you take me for a ride,
Take me for a ride
(Yeah)
