"'Pickup'" is a song co-written and recorded by Canadian country artist MacKenzie Porter. She wrote the track with Lydia Vaughan and Will Bundy, while it was produced by Joey Moi.

Background



After holding many writing sessions over Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic, Porter wrote "Pickup" with several co-writers in one of her first writing sessions back in-person. She stated that it "felt like a really special song," adding that she's "never been more excited to release a song".

Critical reception



'Rock N' Load' stated that the song "features a bright, open-road feel, a rush of lush vocals and a hooky, modern-timeless presentation, as her mind and heart race with full-throttle nostalgia". 'Country 100' named the song their "Fresh Music Friday Song of the Day" for February 4, 2022.

Music video

It was directed by Justin Clough, and features a young girl playing with Barbie dolls, with Porter and two other actors occasionally taking the place of the dolls and portraying the story of the song. Her co-writer Lydia Vaughan came up with the "Barbie comes to life but doesnt get the guy in the end idea" for the video, with Porter saying she "really wanted the video to tell the story of a breakup in a unique way". She added that "even though "someones life looks perfect on paper, that never really reflects reality. Nobodys life is perfect, and we all get our hearts broken at some point". Her dog Willa made an appearance in the video as well.
