CURRENT SINGLE: “Next Girl”
Carly Pearce has never been shy about baring her truth in the songs she writes, no matter how painful or embarrassing or heartbreaking the truth may be. The reason she’s willing to be so vulnerable with songs like “Every Little Thing,” “I Hope You’re Happy Now,” and even her current single, “Next Girl,” Carly says is because, “I feel like I’m pretty shy naturally, at my core. I would say very few people really know me. But I think that I feel the most understood when I’m writing songs, and I feel really inspired when I’m telling a true story.”
Plus, the fans have let Carly know that they want the deep, honest truth, by rewarding her with #1 songs when she goes there, and she says, “I think that country music fans have shown me since day one that they want my true heart, which I think gives me the confidence to just go there. And I can always tell in a writing room when I’m inspired it’s because it’s happened to me. And I do think I’m a songwriter just as much as I’m a singer.”
Carly bared her soul in her latest collection of songs, 29, and she’s been working on new music and promising more of that honesty that fans want from her.
