The song "Hot Mess" by Jacob Bryant tells the story of a woman who is struggling in life. She has three kids and another on the way, she's divorced, and living in a trailer that she can't afford to pay off. She works two jobs and goes to IHOP on Tuesday nights because it's all she can afford. The woman is also dealing with addiction to pills and is judged by others in her small town. Despite her struggles, the woman continues to push forward and keep going. The song acknowledges her strength and resilience, calling her a "hot mess" but also saying "God bless" her. The lyrics also highlight the hypocrisy of those who judge her, reminding the listener that the woman is still praying and doing the best she can with what she has. Overall, "Hot Mess" is a tribute to those who are struggling in life but refuse to give up. The song encourages empathy and understanding for those whose lives may look messy or chaotic on the outside.
