Los Angeles-based pop musician Maya explains why she needs "liquid courage" on her newest single of the same name. Stressing out isn't unfamiliar to anyone, and some need a drink to face their fears, and in this case, when it comes to going out and talking to others. Maya describes the overwhelming atmosphere nightclubs are known for, and how it affects her in social situations, with lines from the song such as "pent up anxiety" and "freaking out but tryna keep my cool". She wants to talk to her friends and people she meets without worrying if she'll do or say the wrong thing. She wants to have a fun night just like everyone else, but needs "liquid courage" to do so.
Regarding the lyrics, "Liquid Courage" features a powerful club/party beat, which align with Maya's talented vocals and harmonies. Classic pop song effects are present throughout the song, including voice pitching and editing - these work very well with the song, and are symbolic for the anxiety Maya is feeling. Piano chords compliment the dark and mysterious vibes of "Liquid Courage", further defining the feeling of the song as being one that is played at a club or on the drive there. Overall, it's an amazing powerpop and dance song in which Maya tries to combat her social anxiety.
