NASHVILLE, TN (March 21, 2025) — Today, Country hitmaker Thomas Rhett unveils his heartfelt track “What Could Go Right,” featuring rising star Lanie Gardner. Originally featured on his critically acclaimed album ABOUT A WOMAN, the track’s “ethereal dream-pop textures” and “intricate composition” (Holler) remain intact while Gardner’s powerful vocal adds a new dimension, creating new perspective and emotional depth. Co-written with Rocky Block, John Byron and Josh Kerr, Thomas Rhett wrote the song about the excitement and uncertainty that marked the beginning of his own relationship with his wife Lauren. With their harmonies intertwined, Thomas Rhett and Gardner capture the vulnerability and hope at the heart of the track, inviting listeners to embrace the optimism of “What Could Go Right”—and the possibilities of love.
Listen to “What Could Go Right (ft. Lanie Gardner)” and the acoustic version HERE.
“In the back of my mind, I always envisioned ‘What Could Go Right’ being a feature on the album. When I first heard Lanie’s cover of ‘Dreams,’ I started listening to her original music and became an instant fan. Her voice is incredible,” says Thomas Rhett. “I immediately wondered ‘what could that sound like on “What Could Go Right?”‘ So, we reached out to her, and she came over to my producer’s house the very same day and absolutely nailed it. I’m so excited for her career. I think she’s going to be an absolute superstar and I can’t wait to watch her journey. I’m so glad she said yes to singing on this song with me.”
“It’s honestly unreal. I used to blast Thomas Rhett’s songs in my car, singing at the top of my lungs, and now I’m sitting here hearing my voice alongside his on a track. That’s just wild to me,” Lanie Gardner comments. “TR has been one of those artists I’ve looked up to for so long—his songwriting, the way he brings so much heart into his music, and how he’s shaped Country music over the years. He’s just one of the best to do it. Getting to be a part of this song with him has been such a full-circle moment, and I’m beyond grateful he thought of me for it. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”
Since its release last August, Thomas Rhett’s seventh studio album ABOUT A WOMAN has earned praise from fans and critics alike, dubbed a “genre-expanding” (Billboard) project that has been hailed as “his best work yet” (Country Living). ABOUT A WOMAN includes his chart-climbing current single “After All The Bars Are Closed,” set to “definitely get you moving” and featuring a melody that “dovetails nicely with the strong lyrics Thomas Rhett has become known for when it comes to songwriting” (Forbes). The album is available via The Valory Music Co. to stream or purchase on vinyl HERE.
Known for his high-energy performances that have been predicted to be the “most electric country shows of the summer” (Page Six), Thomas Rhett will bring the BETTER IN BOOTS TOUR to venues across North America this summer, including the iconic Fenway Park on July 19. Kicking off in June, the BETTER IN BOOTS TOUR features direct support from Tucker Wetmore as well as special guests The Castellows or Dasha. Tickets are available for purchase at ThomasRhett.com.
Pairing his laid-back perspective with a vocal drenched in casual Country soul, Thomas Rhett has spent just over 10 years gathering 23 Number Ones, 16 billion streams and armfuls of awards–eight ACM Awards including 2020 “Entertainer of the Year,” two CMA Awards, five GRAMMY® Awards nominations, plus trophies from the CMT Music Awards, Billboard Awards and iHeartRadio Awards, in addition to being recognized with five CMA Triple Play awards for penning three No. One songs within a 12-month period, he’s never remained static. With both songwriting prowess and charisma, his career has been fueled by equal parts energy and emotion, to continually keep fans on their toes.
