Carly Pearce is warning the "next girl" in her latest song.
With her divorce from Michael Ray set to be finalized this week, the country star, 30, debuted a new single titled "Next Girl," in which she sings of hidden "red flags" and self-blame after a breakup. "You’re gonna think it's all your fault/ It's just a switch that he turns off/ He'll make you think it's love/ But I promise you it's not," croons Pearce.
Elsewhere in the tune, Pearce — who picked up four CMA Award nominations earlier this week — speaks directly to whomever will be the so-called next girl as she tracks the crumbling of a relationship.
"Hey next girl, you don't know me/ I'm just the one he says went crazy on him/ That's just what he does/ But once upon a time I was/ The next girl, I've been where you're at/ You overlook a lot when he looks like that/ He'll charm your mama with that smile/ Hide the red flags for a little while," she sings.
"We live in a world where there are so many smooth-talking guys who're so quick to sweep you off your feet – and they always have a story about the girl before," said Pearce in a press release. "So when we were asking ourselves, 'What would Patty Loveless do?' We figured not only would she warn the girl, she'd turn over all the cards: how he works, how he talks about the old girlfriend, what he'll do once he's got her."
Pearce said she was "nervous" to record "Next Girl," especially following the death of her longtime producer busbee, but quickly felt reassured and connected to the message once she was in the studio.
"It was also so exciting because as the tracks started going down, I realized: This is who I am at my core," she said. "This is the music that flows through my blood, that comes out of my pores. It's everything I love and loved all in one song, and when it's rushing by, it just feels good."
