After teasing new music with a T-shirt, Carly Pearce has released her new single “Next Girl,” a return to the singer’s country roots. Written by Pearce, Josh Osborne and Shane McAnally, the song is a letter from the narrator to her ex’s “next girl,” with Pearce seemingly letting her know that the smooth-talking guy in question has used the same lines plenty of times before.
“I bet you probably met him at a bar / Let him walk you to your car,” she sings in the chorus. “I bet he said he never falls this hard / Yeah, I remember that part / He knows how to say all the right things / Knows how to get you out of that dress / Knows how to make you think you’re the best thing / But I know what happens next, girl.”
“I think that even if someone hasn’t if a girl has not experienced this yet, God bless them that they haven’t, they’re going to,” Pearce told Kelleigh Bannen on The Kelleigh Bannen Show on Apple Music Country of the song’s topic. “And I feel like the song is almost like preparation and also like an anthem of just like this has nothing… We as women think it has to do with us. It has nothing to do with us and everything to do with them.”
