Should we submit this for #S210224HC ?

Should we submit this:
https://irthlingz.com/us.html

for this?

HIT-WORTHY COUNTRY SONGS with Male Vocals are needed by a great Music Row
Publisher for a Chart-Topping, Multi-Platinum Country SUPERSTAR working on
his next record.

This publisher is currently looking for top-notch Songs in All Tempos that
could be heard on the same playlist as the following references:

"Knockin' Boots" by Luke Bryan

"Minimum Wage" by Blake Shelton

"Gone" by Dierks Bentley

"Homemade" by Jake Owen

Please submit top-notch Country Songs that sound like HITS in the making!
Impeccable Country song craft is a must for this request – compelling
melodies, sing-along choruses, and honest, story-telling lyrics could all
help your submissions stand out. Well-performed vocals with a heaping amount
of Country charm could help get this publisher and the artist excited about
cutting your Songs, as well.

Stripped-down demos and full productions are both okay to submit, as long as
your Songs are great and your recordings are clean, clear, and well-balanced!
Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a
general guide for tempo, tone, texture, and overall vibe.

NOTEWORTHY: If time permits, someone from the Publisher's staff (who has been
trained as a TAXI screener) will screen for this request. That means that
somebody who is directly involved in this request could be "ears-on" with
your submissions.

The specific deal points will be negotiated on a Song-by-Song basis directly
with the Publisher. Please submit as many Songs as you like, online or per
CD, and PLEASE include lyrics! Submissions must be received no later than
11:59 PM (PST) on Wednesday, February 24th, 2021. TAXI # S210224HC

TAXI # S210224HC

In your opinion, which one of the Four References do you feel like your tune represents?

In my opinion, it doesn't... sorry to say...

Only if you don't mind losing $5

Honestly it is zero like the references..except it has a guitar. Not remotely like them.

Thank you, all! Really appreciate the straightforward responses. Had been hoping it might fit into the "stripped-down demo" category, but suspected there might be a difference between stripped down and totally undressed never did get dressed.
