• There's song cheatin' going on in this upbeat, honky-tonk track by The Watson Twins, and they're not going to take it any more. One of their live favorites for years, they released it in 2022 as a single and included it on their 2023 album Holler.
• The Watson Twins - Chandra and Leigh Watson - realized they needed to record "Two Timin'" after fans kept asking which album it was on. This happened a lot in 2018 when they opened for Jenny Lewis, whom them teamed with on the 2006 album Rabbit Fur Coat. They could never get it to fit into the flow of one of their albums, so they decided to take a different approach, building a nest for the song on their Holler album.
  
  Chandra Watson explained in a Songfacts interview: "We started really thinking about writing another record in 2022, with songs that were joyful and fun. That was coming off the heels of Covid. It felt like we wanted to breathe new life into music and make a significant turn to writing and put this center focus at the core of the music. It started with our song 'Two Timin',' which we have been playing live for several years but had never put on a record. It's a fun, upbeat, honky-tonk song. From there we set out to write a bunch of songs that 'Two Timin'' would fit on and write our record around."
• "Two Timin'" showcases The Watson Twins' Kentucky roots and their broad musical influences. Growing up in Louisville, they were exposed to a wide range of genres, from bluegrass and gospel to rock 'n' roll and country. This diverse musical background is reflected in the song's energetic, countrified sound.
• "Two Timin'" was the first song The Watson Twins recorded with producer Butch Walker for the Holler album. Chandra Watson described the experience: "We went in the studio to do a single because we had a local show that we were doing and wanted to have some new music. We did 'Two Timin'' in the studio with Butch and it was so much fun, so we were like, 'Okay, we need to write a whole record.'"
• Like the rest of the Holler album, "Two Timin'" was recorded live in the studio with The Watson Twins' touring band. This approach captured the energy and spontaneity of their live performances, which had made the song a fan favorite over the years.
• "Two Timin'" exemplifies The Watson Twins' goal for the Holler album: to create joyful, entertaining music that lifts people's spirits. As Chandra Watson put it, "We wanted to feel like we have an album that's out there in the world that people can listen to and help with their spirits or help them feel like they're not alone."
