So, last holiday season, you carved the turkey and savored your favorite cuts of meat, taking a Louisville slugger to your appetite until you just couldn't take one more bite. Maybe next time you'll think before you eat — and take Underwood's sound advice about how to deal with the inevitable overindulging that happens during the holiday season.
"Stretchy Pants" is a song about ensuring that pesky buttons and zippers don't prevent you from enjoying a holiday meal to the fullest by stopping you from getting as full as you please. "So bring on the turkey, potatoes, casserole dishes / 'Cause I ain't messing around with them buttoned up britches," Underwood sings, per AZ Lyrics. "You got them skinny jeans on, girl, I feel sorry for you / 'Cause I just tried everything, and I'm going back for round 2." Underwood goes on to express her love for "Spandex and Lycra," and it's clearly not because she wants to have a full range of movement while working out at the gym.
In a statement, she shared the inspiration for her festive food ditty, saying (per CMT), "There are times to be disciplined, and then there are times when we need to eat and drink and be merry and enjoy ourselves with family and friends." Underwood was working on her Christmas album, "My Gift," when "a fun detour" led to her and her co-songwriters creating the song that celebrates stuffing your face.
