NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Singer-songwriter Stephanie Rabus is excited to release her new single, “Payback’s A Beach,” available today. The song, which was premiered by The Music Universe, was written by Rabus alongside Mark Roma and Corey Lee Barker and offers a fresh, lighthearted take on heartbreak and getting even. Rather than dwelling on a painful breakup, “Payback’s A Beach” embraces the idea that when love goes wrong, especially in the face of betrayal, sometimes the best revenge is simply living well, moving on, and enjoying life, and perhaps a little beach therapy.

“My dad calls this song “Calypso Country,” laughs Rabus. “It’s a fun summer song that’s also a breakup song, which blends margaritas, cabana boys and carefree mentalities, where you let nothing, even a breakup, get in the way. There is a line, “There’s something about this million dollar ocean view” that resonates with just about everyone! The ocean is the cure to almost everything! I hope you enjoy.”
Lyrics For “Paybacks A Beach”
I saw your missed calls but I wasn’t in a hurry
Been way too busy soaking up these sun ray flurries
I’m done pretending I don’t know what you’ve been doing
But these lovely folks in Cabo are helping me get through it
Baby payback's a beach
I’m margarita rich and worry free
Cabana boys are looking hotter
Chiseled bodies in the water
All bronzed up and calling out to me
Payback’s a beach
There’s something bout this million dollar ocean view
That makes it impossible to not be over you
Right now I’m loving that you hate that you got caught
Hey thanks for the ticket that you didn’t know you bought
Baby payback’s a beach
I’m margarita rich and worry free
Cabana boys are looking hotter
Chiseled bodies in the water
All bronzed up and calling out to me
Payback’s a beach
