A Taco Bell commercial released in June 2022 has had viewers’ mouths watering while also having their ears pleased with a particularly catchy tune at the end. Entitled “Rally Cap,” the commercial tells the cute story of a pair of baseball players who get a little flirty while sitting out on the benches. However, when the iconic Taco Bell bong rings out, one of the flirting teammates dashes off to the fast food restaurant to chow down on some $2 Cheesy Double Beef burritos. As she heads in, the song “Lazy Lover” by the Charleston-based pop band Babe Club plays. Sung by Jenna Desmond, the lead vocalist for the group, the commercial plays the song’s chorus, “I don’t want to be your lazy lover.” The song fits in with the ad perfectly, with a nostalgic feel to its lyrics and music that lines up with the charming summertime feeling the commercial invokes.

Written by Desmond during the COVID-19 pandemic, “Lazy Lover” is about her relationship with fellow musician Corey Campbell (via Charleston City Paper). When the song was discovered by Taco Bell through a sync listening company, Desmond was overjoyed, telling Post and Courier, “I’ve been writing songs for 10 years, and this is the first time a song I wrote got licensed in something. I feel proud of myself and proud of the people around me working on Babe Club. Also, love me some Taco Bell.”
