Elle King dives bravely into country pop with "Tulsa," a song that tells the truth about betrayal. This idea of accountability, of holding the right person accountable, is built into the song, aiming to target dishonesty while also pushing a message of unity rather than blame for its own sake.
The track does have a definite sense of purpose, with songwriting contributions from Elle King, Ella Langley, Bobby Hamrick, and Matt McKinney. It's all about the confidence behind the delivery. "Tulsa" doesn't wallow in heartbreak so much as turn frustration into a bold statement. The song has more character, thanks to backing vocals from Ashley McBryde and guitar work from John Osborne, which gives it a more solid country foundation.
Elle King knows country music has always made room for honesty, attitude, and real-life feelings. That edge also gives the track its identity and more strength. This is a gutsy country-pop release that uses anger, confidence, and perspective to make a memorable moment.
