“If I Had My Way” relies more on the influence of roots music than some of Bethany & Rufus’s other tracks, giving it a faster, dance-tinged vibe. It’s an interesting retelling of the age-old Samson and Delilah story, bringing personal choice into the saga. The beat of the song speeds up to effectively match and emphasise the pace of the story. culminating in grooving drum solos, interspersed with Bethany’s smooth voice.
