Description
In Take a Letter Maria, a man walks into his office and asks his secretary, Maria, to type up a letter telling his wife he won’t be coming home. But this time, Maria has something to say. In No, I Won’t Write That Letter, she refuses to be part of his easy exit, calling him out for walking away from his marriage like it’s just another task on his to-do list. With a classic R&B and soul groove, this song flips the script, giving Maria a voice of her own. She’s not just a silent worker doing what she’s told—she’s a woman with principles who sees through his excuses. The lyrics are sharp, direct, and full of attitude as she makes it clear: if he’s got something to say to his wife, he can write it himself. Blending the storytelling charm of the original with a fresh, empowering perspective, No, I Won’t Write That Letter is a response decades in the making. Maria isn’t here to clean up his mess—she’s here to set the record straight. For anyone who’s ever been expected to play along with someone else’s bad decisions, this song is for you.
