Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 10–11

The good stuff

  • Role models:

    Underwood has managed not to let her mega-star status affect her clean image, largely avoiding the questionable behavior that lands other young stars in the tabloids. In this song, she's calling the shots -- but why would anyone fall for a womanizer anyway?
 

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    While the womanizing-guy theme doesn't send a great message about the way men behave in relationships, at least Underwood advises girls to steer clear of him.
  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    One mention of a guy being "like a drug" to which you can get "addicted."
 

What Parents Need to Know

About "Cowboy Casanova" (CD single)

Parents need to know that though this song is about a guy who plays the field, it's pretty harmless overall, including no swearing, sex talk, or other adult themes beyond a single reference to the guy being like a love drug to which girls get addicted.
