"One Beer Away" is a song recorded by Canadian country music duo The 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 of Today'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 of Canadian Beats Media stated that the song had a "catchy chorus" and "upbeat tempo". [2] Hank Rivers of Harmony 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 on Citytv's Breakfast Television to perform "One Beer Away" live shortly after the song's release. [6]
