Whenever we hear that ericdoa is about to release new music, we know our lives are about to change for the better! That’s especially true when it comes to ‘dancinwithsomebawdy,’ a bouncy song that sees Eric letting go of an unhealthy relationship and letting us dance it off with him. It has such a free, exciting energy that we can’t get enough of – which makes sense since returning to that fun feeling is one of Eric’s main goals now that he’s established himself.
I missed a lot of childhood being in meetings, obsessing over trying to be this artist that I wanted to become. I really lost the freeing, adolescent feeling of just creating whatever I wanted.

Throughout ‘dancinwithsomebawdy,’ ericdoa breaks down the gradual end of a relationship in which he knew his partner would “just end up dancin’ with somebody” else. We love how the production and upbeat feeling contrast the frustration and sadness you’d typically expect from a song tackling this subject. It really mirrors the bait-and-switch that seemed to happen with this girl and her motives, and shows off just what a clever artist Eric is.
“The life you’re involved in, I’m never an option
The loss of your love’s just a nail in a coffin…”
You might just get the chance to dance with Eric himself next year when he takes off on the Dead On Arrival Tour, with support from the talented bixby! We know it’ll be an incredible show, so we can’t help but ‘fantasize’ about how perfect the setlist will be. Maybe we’ll hear songs like ‘kickstand’ and ‘primadonna?’ Check out the dates below and make sure to grab your tickets here if the show’s coming to a city near you.
