"Worst Way" is a song by American singer-songwriter Riley Green, first released on March 29, 2024, as a promotional single from his Way Out Here (2024).
[1] In an August 2024 interview on The Kelleigh Bannen Show on Apple Music Country, Riley Green stated that he wrote the song years ago and originally called it "When She Comes Home Tonight".
He was covering "Like a Wrecking Ball" by Eric Church at the time, but decided to compose a song that evoked similar feelings, which resulted in "Worst Way".
The first verse finds Riley Green choosing not to approach his lover with traditional romantic gestures ("Tonight, I ain't bringin' no wine / Tonight, I ain't bringin' no roses") but implies he wants to engage in sexual activity with her in the bedroom.
[5][6] It starts with Green driving to his lover's house in a Ford Bronco with flowers and wine, while she prepares a candlelit dinner.
