Look forward to hearing it!

I'm more interested in Country music from her at this point than pop music. "Don't Rush" was my favorite single by her in the last few years.

[Focus]

LOVE THE COVER!!

[ƒreakshow]

I hope this is the song that finally gets her to truly break through to country radio. She's never been that playful with her image and cover art since I can't even remember when, I want this spark that's ignited in her to count for some real success on the format.

[Typo]

Is this the Kalisa Ewing co-write?

[StrongerThanTheTruth]

AHHHH SO EXCITED!!! I just hope this is really good! The cover photo is amazing, I'd love to know if thats from her photo shoot the other day and if the full photo is her and Brandon.

Not sure. One of the confirmed co-writers is Ashley Arrison. Shane McAnally responded quickly to Kelly's tweet about this which is leading me to think he has a hand in it also. Kelly was recently in the studio with him plus Shane and Ashley have a long history together that it makes sense, at least to me.

[sbp17]

Shane's a great writer so that's good.

[Au$tin]

Whoa, where in the world did this come from?! Really excited to hear it!

NVM. The Kalisa song she cut is titled "Go On." I'm looking forward to that one; Kalisa can write.

He's been producing her as of late. I read that in an interview he did recently. I want to say it was on countrymusicislove.com

For anyone that is looking for the single cover without the watermark from WhoSay

I just read that, thanks! (link) She tweeted about 2 weeks ago that she was in the studio with him which fits with what he said.  I'd be really surprised if he didn't have some involvement with this song.

Hoping this is 100x times better than Don't Rush and actually goes somewhere. Keeping my expectations low, I haven't been blown away by a Kelly track in a long time now.

[Jay]

Country peaks:

"A Moment Like This" - #58
"Because of You" - #2
"Don't You Wanna Stay" - #1
"Mr. Know It All" - #21
"Don't Rush" - #23

Excited to hear this and to see where this stacks up against her other Country songs. I'll be happy as long as its at least a moderate success like her last two solo singles.

I cannot wait for this.

[sbp17]

Can't understand the lyrics so I pray they are good because the melody, instrumentation and overall feel of the song is the perfect style I have been wanting from her in forever. Perhaps a little premature but it is sounding like my favorite KC uptempo single to date. Her first solo smash on country! Welcome home, Kelly!

[Peaches. [Ch, r. is]]

Like I said in the other thread, love it.

[Focus]

This has the best audio I've heard so far. I love the song. It's amazing!
I hope Country radio likes it as much as I do.




the lyrics by anneashley (Ashley Arrison, one of the writers)at the KCE...

TIE IT UP

i was standin’ with my friend
when i saw you walkin’ in
and my heart started skippin' a beat

i was tryin’ to play it cool
but i knew it was true
That nobody would ever compete

well first comes love and then comes...

first date first kiss
we were checkin’ off the list
then you were gettin’ down on your knee

and you didn’t have to guess
it was a always a yes
now there’s 2 less fish in the sea

let’s set the date
let’s hire a band
let’s cut the cake
tie up the cans
i love the ring of your name
you’re the ying to my yang
oh baby let’s give it a shot
every wall needs a frame
every ball needs a chain
i’m talkin’ about tying the knot
tie it up

something old, something new
something borrowed, something blue
and the chairs lined up in the yard

the i do’s and the kisses
from a miss to a misses
can’t wait for forever to start

let’s set the date
let’s hire a band
let’s cut the cake
tie up the cans
i love the ring of your name
you’re the ying to my yang
so baby let’s give it a shot
every wall needs a frame
every ball needs a chain
i’m talkin’ about tying the knot

tie it up
invite the town
let's raise a glass and lock it down
tie it up
forever bound
Yeah, I'm fit to be tied down

when Mama's kicked off her shoes
and Daddy's spinnin' from the booze
and the last song is finally sung

we can run to the room
kickstart the honeymoon
don’t it sound like a whole lotta fun?

let’s set the date
let’s hire a band
let’s cut the cake
tie up the cans
i love the ring of your name
you’re the ying to my yang
so baby let’s give it a shot
every wall needs a frame
every ball needs a chain
i’m talkin’ about tying the knot
tie it up

I might have spazzed out a bit in the album thread so I'll show a little more decorum here.

This will be the song to give Kelly her solo hit on country. It's great. Easily my favorite of her country singles (duets included).

[Deleted]

My favorite uptempo by her in awhile. Very 90s. That one part reminds me of "You Oughta Know".

[someguy]

I like this a lot, based on that YouTube video. I'm really looking forward to her country album, or at least the country-leaning direction that it appears her new album will take. I was also thinking of "You Oughta Know" at that one point in the song.

I also love that clip posted of her and Trisha. That was really cool!

[slowmo]

My initial reaction is that I really like it and I love this style and sound for her. Will it finally be the breakthrough that she's looking for (is she really looking for one??)? I don't know, maybe? It's a very in the moment song for her life and written for her but it's also written to be more universal so hopefully it'll grab others too. I don't expect her to light the charts on fire but I do hope it's at least a moderate hit for her.

Now I'll anxiously await the studio recording so I can get a good listen to the meat of the song that was lost in that live recording.

One thing that I really love about Kelly is that she's not afraid to show who her influences are because, a lot of the time, they're pretty diverse and extremely talented females. "i love the ring of your name, you’re the ying to my yang" // "'cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me", it's basically the same melody.

Also, at last night's show she performed with Trisha Yearwood. I think it's pretty awesome because I just recently got into Trisha's music pretty hardcore and I can totally see how her style and little nuances while singing influenced Kelly's current singing style. I'd love for them to record a song together.

[Deleted]

Love the edginess that it has. With that being said, the lyrics are pretty lame, but it should still do very well for summer.

[Jeff]

I hope this song gets a proper video. If done right it could be really cute.

Kelly reminds me a lot of Trisha too, vocally. Trisha's probably my second favourite country artist, so I love that she's getting herself back in the spotlight. I'd definitely want a collaboration between the two of them.

This is the song that will finally give kelly her first "solo" country big hit! This is what country radio has been waiting for from her!
