“I Hope You’re Happy Now” is one of the first releases off of Carly Pearce’s new self-titled album, which will be released on Valentine’s Day, but Carly says of the song relationship that inspired the song, “It’s a closing chapter for me of a turning point in my life. When I stepped out of that relationship and found the real love, like, the real thing, that is what changed the course of my life forever, in every way.”
The end of that relationship is what allowed Carly Pearce to pursue her relationship with Michael Ray, who is now her husband, and she says, “I did not realize – and I think sometimes when you’re in, just, a relationship that there’s nothing really wrong but it’s really not right, you are clouded to so many different things. And for me, this song and this emotion – and that’s why I wanted this song to come out is – it was the turning point, and I think it can be the turning point for a lot of people.”
“I Hope You’re Happy Now,” which Carly sings with Lee Brice, is her fastest rising song on the charts of her career, already in the top 20 and continuing to climb.
