Review: "Fighting Over Sheets" - David Tucker


David Tucker Fighting Over Sheets Cover Art

Play into natural desire with “Fighting Over Sheets” from artist David Tucker. This new single from Tucker dives into the concepts of pleasure, humanity, and passion. “Fighting Over Sheets” details a sexy, fun connection that is charged and present. This connection centers around an irresistible desire for another person and to physically connect with them. The song delves into specific situations, including sensual and dressed-up occasions in addition to relatable predicaments such as losing sleep to spend quality time with someone. In this case, quality time is spent both physically and emotionally through focusing entirely on Tucker’s partner. Feeding into the playful nature of the song, the song flourishes with freedom of expression and natural, human pleasure by displaying a connection that is both reciprocated, healthy, and energetic.




Although “Fighting Over Sheets” entails a story that involves physical pleasure, Tucker’s clever writing adds layers of detail on top of the sexy tone of the song. While both parties enjoy exploring one another physically and navigating that side of a relationship, love for the other person is very much apparent through Tucker’s lyrics. He details how both him and his partner enjoy this side of their relationship to this degree because they are committed to one another, know that the other person is present and will be there to support the other, and they desire the same & similar things. This layer can be heard in the overall tone of the song as well – “Fighting Over Sheets”, in my opinion, brings a relaxing, loving, and almost beach-like imagery to mind. The track is both upbeat and calm, much like a yacht-rock type of song from the 70’s-80’s. Tucker including an element of love between the two people in this song makes sense for the track and gives it more depth, making it full-bodied and a well-rounded pop song. On top of his skilled songwriting, Tucker’s strong vocal abilities and power to show a balanced, natural relationship is a skill that comes rarely in songwriting and shows uniqueness in his presence & music.
