Matt Oakley Sings Our Favorite Breakup Topic, “Can’t Take The Dogs”

Matt Oakley’s “Can’t Take The Dogs” is everything a breakup song should aspire to be… Entirely focused on the pets. 

“I was talking to a friend about a breakup they went through. They moved out, took the dog, and left everything else,” says Oakley. “I had this song written for a while but I booked studio time to finish it later that day.”

Born into a military family, Matt can’t be pinned down to one town or place, rather the country is his home. His new single “Can’t Take The Dogs” shows his tendency to ramble with his companions at his side. Matt Oakley sings with a relatable and down to earth vibe and writes music with country-pop and rock roots. The song’s relaxed and easy-going attitude preaches the simplistic country lifestyle and will have you buying a truck and driving off with your dogs before you know it. Take a listen to “Can’t Take The Dogs” here:
