Vice

This sultry and sparse song is a somber ode to hard living. It finds Lambert reflecting on getting over heartbreak through music, drinking and one-night stands. She penned the tune with Shane McAnally, who has helped write a number of Lambert cuts, including the similarly themed "Smokin' and Drinkin'" and Josh Osborne of the country duo Brothers Osborne.

The song was Lambert's first release since her divorce from Blake Shelton and move from Oklahoma to Nashville. "It's been a really cool journey because I've lived in Nashville for the last year almost now," she said. "I've been able to write so much more than I had before, just not being on the road constantly and moving from Oklahoma. All my friends [in Nashville] are songwriters. We're either hanging out and accidentally wrote a song or we had it set up, so I probably wrote like five days a week for five months straight."

Miranda Lambert said in a video clip that she hopes "Vice" is something listeners can relate to when they hear the track for the first time. "I hope that everybody that hears it can feel like they're not on an island," she said. "We all have things in our life that aren't necessarily pleasant to talk about, but this song is as honest as you can get about emotions and letting raw emotions live where they live until you move on to a happier place." "Sometimes when we're not [sunshine and roses] we find things that make us feel better at the moment. That's what a vice is," Lambert added. "I think when you go through something in your life that's hard, you learn what you run to and what you run from. Sometimes it comes full circle. It's a very clear image of somebody that's willing to lay it out there and be honest."
