CURRENT SINGLE: “Never Wanted to Be That Girl” w/ Ashley McBryde
Carly Pearce and Ashley McBryde are inching closer and closer to number one with their duet, which they wrote together with Shane McAnally, “Never Wanted to Be That Girl.” It turns out, without knowing it, Carly and Ashley had the same hope when they got into the room with Shane to write. “I said to Shane and my team, I want to see if Ashley will write with me with the intention of us doing it together,” says Carly. “We’ve always played shows together and we just sing the same. We can anticipate what each other is doing. And I just remember a particular show out in California, being like, I wanna sing with her. “
Carly has always loved Ashley’s voice, so she scheduled the write with Shane and Ashley, and Ashley admits, “I didn’t know we were gonna write to write a duet, but I kinda wanted to. So, when I got in the room, (Carly) said, ‘Shoot it down if you want, but do you wanna do a duet?’ And I was like ‘YES!’“
And the rest, as they say, is history.
