Ashley Monroe - Hands On You

“Hands On You” – single by Ashley Monroe from the  album “Sparrow”, released on February 23, 2018.

Despite the flirtatious lyrics, the song emerged from distinctly unsexy origins. Read on to learn more about how Monroe came up with the idea for “Hands on You,”

It’s not a sexy story at all! I had gone to Florida for a few days with a couple of friends of mine, and we were just going to chill by the beach; I was planning to just plop and read and eat. Anyway, when we got down there, I got a stomach virus — a bad one. My friends went out, and I stayed back in the room, because I was sick. They came back, and they were good and buzzed, and they were giddy because they had met this cute guy.

They were having the best time. Well, I think I just channeled their energy and put it onto myself! When I went to bed that night, I started singing the first line of the song, “I wish I would’ve laid my hands on you,” and I thought, “Ooh, I like that!” When I got back from that trip, I had a co-write with Jon Randall, who’s one of my favorites ever, and I brought it to him, and he loved it. We wrote that one pretty fast.

I think it’s cool that it shows a sexual or sexy side. I like to see women show that side. Actually, the other day, a woman who worked in security stopped me in the airport; she was a little younger than my grandmother, probably, but she was an older lady. She said, “Are you Ashley Monroe?” I told her I was, and she said, “Your new song, I just can’t quit playing it. I have chills just thinking about it.” She showed me the goosebumps on her arm. I thought that was awesome.

I wish I would’ve laid my hands on
Shown you a thing or two
I wish I would’ve pushed you against the wall
Lock the door and bathroom stall, windows and the screen

I wish you would’ve laid your hands on me
That kind gon’ bring me to my knees
I wish I would’ve let you lay me down
Cause I wouldn’t be here wishing now
I wish I would’ve laid my hands on you

I wish I was still half drunk
Still tangled up
Still making love
But instead I’m alone in bed with you in my head
Can’t get you out of my head
Mmm, mmm
My only regret

I wish I would’ve laid my hands on you
Got you high in a motel room
Little secret for my soul
No one sees and no one knows
Forbidden company
I wish you would’ve laid your hands on me
And never let me go
Drawing pictures on my skin
Places no one’s ever been
I wish I would’ve laid my hands on you

I wish I was still half drunk
Still tangled up
Still making love
But instead I’m alone in bed with you in my head
Can’t get you out of my head
Mmm, mmm
My only regret

I wish I would’ve laid my hands on
Shown you a thing or two
I wish I would’ve pushed you against the wall
Lock the door and bathroom stall, windows and the screen
I wish you would’ve laid your hands on me
That kind gon’ bring me to my knees
I wish I would’ve let you lay me down
‘Cause I wouldn’t be here wishing now
I wish I would’ve laid my hands on you
