From Baskin, Louisiana, singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson is country. Pure country. There's no pop-country in this girl, which is such a refreshing change.

This song, driven by piano, displays Wilson's beautiful, twangy vocals that set her apart from other country up and comers. This is her first iTunes release, and is one that has already connected to so many people because of the universal message behind it.
On her social media when this song was released, Wilson commented, "Although I would love for this song to change my life as a musician, I genuinely hope it helps and empowers girls all around the world. We have all gone through things in life that make us stronger. Today, I can honestly say that I am thankful for those awful situations in life that I thought I would never get through. We can all relate on some level. And that's why it's important for all of us to know that, 'Life is tough, but this girl's tougher.'" Wilson connects all girls and people on a universal level, and shares the pain and struggle that everyone feels at some point in their life. This song is a tear-jerker for sure.
