If you spend enough time around Maddie & Tae, you’ll pick up on the fact that they have some unique and interesting words in their vocabulary, like ‘stank.’ Maddie Marlow says, “‘Stank’ is basically a term meaning attitude. Like, if we’re in the studio and it needs a little more … just a little more attitude, it’s hard not to say stank to describe it, but if we need a little more attitude on what we’re singin’ or playin’ we just say, ‘Put some more stank on that’, and then we totally understand what we’re sayin’.”
Chances are they called for more stank on their debut single, “Girl in a Country Song,” than they did on their current single, “Fly.”
