American country music lyrics（歌词） often describe women as they might appear in men's dreams. This is especially true of songs by many male artists. But the songs by Maddie Marlow and Tae Dye are different. The two women perform as a duo （二重唱）called Maddie & Tae.

The two released their first music album last month. But they first gained recognition in the country music industry a year ago. That was when they released a song that made fun of the  lyrics in what has been called "bro-country" music.

The lyrics of "Girl in a Country Song" express how Maddie & Tae felt about the influence of "bro-country" music. They say the words often describe women as objects, not real people.

Their song reached the No. 1 position on the "Billboard" Country music charts late last year. It was the first song by a female duo to reach that place since 2006. Maddie Marlow says the song was a message. But she adds that she and Tae Dye never thought it would become so popular.

The two women grew up in the south central United States. They say that another country group, the Dixie Chicks, have influenced their music and songwriting. But Tae Dye says the duo felt pressured to release another song as successful as their first.

That second song turned out to be "Fly". It is a hopeful song about taking risks. Maddie Marlow says she and Tae Dye are happy with the choices they have made in their career.
