"One Beer Away" is a song recorded by Canadiancountry music duoThe Reklaws. Stuart Walker and Jenna Walker of the duo wrote the song with Scott Helman and Callum Maudsley, while Maudsley produced the track.[1]
Stuart Walker of the Reklaws remarked that the sibling duo was releasing "some different music" than fans were used to in 2024, so with "One Beer Away", they wished to release a "true Reklaws song". Jenna Walker compared the song to the duo's past single "Long Live the Night", hoping that it "[captures] the essence of the perfect summer night in your small town".[2] The song was initially released in June 2024, before being released again as the title track of a three-pack single with the songs "If I Drink Enough" and "All the Time".[3]
Chad Carlson ofToday's Country Magazine referred to the track as a "a summer anthem that is worthy of unprecedented airplay and fandom," adding that the duo "[explores] new realms of the country genre while incorporating those trademark elements that fans have always loved about them over the years".[4] Nanci Dagg ofCanadian Beats Media stated that the song had a "catchy chorus" and "upbeat tempo".[2] Hank Rivers ofHarmony Hay stated that the track "is much more than a song about having a beer", opining that it is "a testament to the resilience found in friendship, the healing power of a listening ear, and the freedom that comes from a moment of reprieve, encapsulated in the act of sharing a beer and a good time".[5]
The Reklaws appeared onCitytv'sBreakfast Television to perform "One Beer Away" live shortly after the song's release.[6]
The official visualizer for "One Beer Away" was directed by Austin Chaffe and premiered onYouTube on June 28, 2024.[7][8]
