“Forever From Here” — Tigirlily Gold
Fittingly for the month of February, Tigirlily Gold is sharing their infectious new single “Forever From Here.” The track will impact country radio on Monday (Feb. 24). A call back to their roots, “Forever From Here” finds Tigirlily Gold singing about the colder weather as they highlight the golden fields and the birds that fly south for the winter. Raised in Hazen, North Dakota, the female country act, made up of sisters Kendra Olsen and Krista Slaubaugh, intertwines the picturesque song lyrics of the Midwest with a romantic wish, dreaming up a life with the one they love.
“I can see a house with the shutters blue / A couple little kids that look like you / Kiss me right now, don’t need no reason / Baby, this love’s in harvest season / What do ya say? Let’s give it a go / Build a little life with room to grow / With the sky this clear / I can see forever from herе / Ooh, yeah,” the sisters sing in harmony.
“‘Forever From Here’ was inspired by growing up in the rural Midwest, the land of wide-open spaces, and falling in love,” Olson shared in a press release with Slaubaugh adding, “We were raised on 2000’s country, and this song is unapologetically bright and nostalgic, just like all the songs we loved hearing on the radio growing up. We couldn’t be more excited for this song to kick off this next season of music from us.”

“Leave Me Too” — Josh Ross
After a successful 2024, Josh Ross has released his first song of the new year — “Leave Me Too.” Explaining the new track in a press release, Ross says the tune “reflects on past relationships” and acknowledges “moments of being difficult to love.” Produced by Matt Geroux, “Leave Me Too” leaves behind a message that haunting an ex in hopes of their return can be satisfying. Still, it’s understandable when things don’t work out in the end.
Throwing all of his emotion into the tune over a dreamy melody, Ross puts himself in his ex’s shoes and takes the blame, singing: “Yeah girl, if I were you, I’d leave me too / Here in the dust middle fingеr up, be cussing my name / Up at the sky, gеttin’ baptized in that goodbye rain / Heaven knows I can’t undo all the hell I put you through / Yeah girl, if I were you, I’d leave me too.”
“Leave Me Too” comes as Ross celebrates five nominations heading into the 2025 Juno Awards in his native Canada. The track is also the first taste of what fans can expect from an upcoming project from Ross in the near future.

“She Wasn’t Crazy” — Grace Tyler
Grace Tyler is airing out her grievances in her brand new song entitled “She Wasn’t Crazy.” The tune celebrates female empowerment with the Frisco, TX native unapologetically calling out an ex and taking the side of his former flame. Instead of choosing to believe his account of a past relationship, she learns from her own experience and decides that he’s the problem after striking up a romance that goes south.
“She wasn’t crazy, Yeah, / She just knew she had nothing to lose / She was just raising / All of the hell you deserve to go through,” Tyler sings, turning the breakup tune into an anthem for women everywhere, who have been labeled “crazy.”
Tyler co-wrote “She Wasn’t Crazy” with Ben Foster and Averie Bielski. Of the track, she shared in a press release: “I realized after going through a breakup that a man who tells you all of his exes are crazy is probably the problem. I wanted to write a song for the exes of my ex and that I understand the heartbreak this man put them through.”

“Rooster” — Sheyna Gee
Sheyna Gee’s rowdy new tune “Rooster” is worthy of becoming the party song of 2025! Produced by Matt McClure and co-written by Gee alongside McClure and Nicole Whitt, “Rooster” will have folks letting loose on the dusty sawdust floor at the closest honky tonk. With Gee’s Tanya Tucker style rasp and quick lyrics over a high-energy beat, this track will remind listeners of Gretchen Wilson’s smash “Here For The Party.” Gee throws plenty of attitude and country flair into “Rooster” as she sings about keeping the fun going until daylight.
“Up until the sun comes out / Little ring ding shindig / Let’s shoot out the lights / No we ain’t getting any sleep tonight / Till the cows come home / And moon don’t shine / And your sister don’t bitch / And songs don’t rhyme / The dogs don’t bark / And rock don’t roll / Till the barn burns down / The rooster crows,” Gee sings over an arena-ready melody.

“Hard Work & Holy Water” — Larry Fleet
Larry Fleet has been known to sing songs that match the kind of lifestyle he grew up on. And his next single — which serves as his first as an independent artist following his split from Big Loud Records — is no different. In “Hard Work & Holy Water,” the country artist sings of being satisfied with his hard work ethic, spiritually-filled background, and the joys of a simple life. He taps into the world of blue-collar attitudes while crooning his lyrics over a laid-back melody that folks can sing along to.
“Hard work and holy water / King James and blue collars / With some 40-hour week dirt under ya nails / Backed in the corner make you fight like hell / Suns up and years fly / Good lord willing and the creek don’t rise / We’ll see another day another dollar or two / Yea I got a couple things that’ll get me through / And that’s Hard work and Holy water,” Fleet sings throughout the chorus of the song, he penned with Luke Laird and Barry Dean.
“I’m where I’m at in life and my career because of a whole lotta hard work and even more Holy Water,” Fleet shares of his relation to the track in a press release. “I’ve had some big changes in my career and life this past year, and I’m living this song every day, so it only made sense that this should be the name of my tour and the first song that I released as an independent artist.”

“Never Gonna Get Married” — SmithField
SmithField is preparing folks for wedding season with their sweet and sentimental new song “Never Gonna Get Married.” The touching track is featured on the country duo’s Love You To The Moon EP, which dropped on Feb. 14. The EP celebrates the band’s Trey Smith and Jennifer Fielder’s personal relationships, separate marriages, and heart-tugging emotions. And the reflective “Never Gonna Get Married” fits right into the mix.
The tune, which features gentle acoustics and stunning harmonies, tells the story of someone grateful to find love after going through life with the thought that they would never walk down the aisle. Both artists take a verse before coming together on the chorus.
“Now I lay my head down lying next to my best friend / And all is right in this old world, dog at the foot of our bed / Life would be so lonely, wouldn’t know how good it’d be / Nothing ’bout this love is scary, can’t believe that me before you / Was never gonna get married,” they sing.
