Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Dirty Laundry. By Songfacts®.

Not the Don Henley song of the same title, this is a tale of a man whose cheating ways are uncovered after his woman finds lipstick and wine stains on his clothes. The cut was penned by regular Underwood collaborators Hillary Lindsey and Ashley Gorley as well as Sam Hunt's main songwriting wingman Zach Crowell.

The track was produced by Jay Joyce (Little Big Town, Eric Church), one of six he helmed for Storyteller. It was the first time that Underwood had worked with Joyce, who crafted an edgier sound thanthe country star's previous material. "I want to grow, and I want to change, and I want my music to reflect that," Underwood said, "and I felt like I just needed things to switch up a little bit in order to achieve that."

Underwood is singing in character in this one. She married the professional hockey player Mike Fisher in 2010, but has plenty of previous relationships on which to draw from when she needs to get into the mind of a woman with a deceitful beau. Some of her other songs that take on this topic include "Before He Cheats," "Undo It" and "Two Black Cadillacs."
