Dixon Dallas, Leave This All Behind | Song Review 🎵

On his latest single, “Leave This All Behind,” gay country musician Dixon Dallas is in need of new boyfriend – “one that treats me like a queen.”

“You went from lover to fighter and threw the gas on the fire / With no concern for me, you’re burning me down.” Dixon Dallas isn’t in a happy space with his boo.  The love is on the rocks on “Leave This All Behind”, the latest gem from talented Alabaman singer/songwriter, Jake Hill.  Channeling his gay country persona once more, Dallas serves up gorgeous vocals singing sincere, heartfelt, and relatable lyrics. In the second verse, he goes on to say, “I don’t know how we ended up here / But I wish we didn’t, I wish things were different.” Those matters of the heart folks – they’re universal!

In addition to top-notch vocals and thoughtful, relatable songwriting, the production is solid.  The backdrop is country, but fresh enough to win over some pop listeners too.  Of course, “Leave This All Behind” marks another instance where Hill isn’t shy about the fact that Dixon is gay.  “Leave This All Behind” avoids the sex that has made so many of Hill’s songs juicy and risqué, but Dallas’ love interest hasn’t changed.  The chorus is the centerpiece:

“I need a new boyfriend, that ain’t like you

One that treats me like a queen, no, that ain’t hard to do

Sick of the bullshit, you’re putting me through

But I don’t know how to leave, I don’t know what to do

So, I just, cry some more ‘til you walk in through the front door

Been lying, tell you I’m fine no I swear it’s nothing

Life is short, I don’t want to live it unsure

I think it’s time to leave this all behind.”

Dixon Dallas never disappoints.  “Leave This All Behind” is a must-hear, queer county song.
