I don’t have much to go on. I heard this song for the first time last night. I was driving to a bar on a Friday night and remembered thinking it was somewhat appropriate (it may just mention Friday, or hangover, or something).

It was faster-paced, and it was on a top-40 station, so I believe it to be relatively new.

It was sung by a man (or maybe men?) The chorus involved the background music shopping for a moment while the singer yelled out a question (maybe just a statement), then the music picked back up and the question/statement was repeated.
