Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Carly Pearce Releases New Song “my place”
Last month, American country music singer-songwriter Carly Pearce announced that her fourth studio album “hummingbird” will be released on June 14, 2024, via Big Machine Records.
The album is her first LP in three years since the 2021 album “29: Written in Stone” and comprises a 14-track, featuring a guest appearance from Chris Stapleton.
Produced by Pearce, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, the album marks her debut as a co-producer.
Carly Pearce said of the album, “The last few years have been a season of loss and growth, of healing and happiness. A belief that if I did the inner work, I would rebuild myself stronger than I was before, and a knowing that I have done some living and will always be unapologetic about it. These 14 songs incapsulate my confidence that there is light on the other side of darkness and my true love of country music.”
She continued, “When you hear this album - Wherever you are on your journey, I hope it shows you that pain can be a lesson that shows you just how strong you are and what you truly deserve. That we can all find the “hummingbird” in the midst of whatever we're going through.”- From the album, she released the fifth single called “my place” on April 5, 2024.
The song describes someone reckoning with the fact that their ex has moved on and is starting to build a new life without them.
It was written by Jordan Reynolds, Carly Pearce, and Lauren Hungate. Produced by Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne, and Carly Pearce.
The track is accompanied by the Allister Ann-directed music video in her “through the lens” series.
“I wrote this song about a dream I had long before the relationship I was in ended, but I knew that it would," Carly Pearce said of the song. “It's hard to watch people move on and realize your heart can't live there anymore, but that realization is the beginning of the healing process.” -
She shared on social media, “I woke up the morning I wrote this song after having a dream that the relationship I was in had ended. It was almost like my heart knew it was going to happen before I wanted to believe it. It's hard to let people go. Your heart wrestles with the fact that someone who was once your whole world, isn't it anymore. Social media sure doesn't make it easy either, as we all see when our exes move on. This song is my story of that realization and also that acceptance. That it's not 'my place' anymore...”
On April 7, 2024, she won Collaborative Video of the Year with “We Don't Fight Anymore” featuring Chris Stapleton at 2024 CMT Music Awards.
