Every Little Thing

This heartbreaking ballad was released as Carly Pearce's debut single on February 22, 2017. Penned by the singer with songwriter Emily Shackelton and producer busbee, it was born out of the end of a relationship. "I wrote this about a guy that really broke my heart, and never really thought it would take on this kind of life," Pearce told The Boot. "It reminded me so much that country music is about the song and about the lyric."

It didn't take Pearce long to put into words what she wanted to say. "I wrote that song in 45 minutes. I cried after the write and felt like it finally shut the door on that situation," said the Kentucky native. "Just from a standpoint of production, it is genuinely who I am. It's got some of the bluegrass element vocally."

So, does Carly Pearce still pine for the subject of the song? The answer is no. "This particular person that the song is about, we've both very much moved on," she told ABC Radio. "But I think even in relationships that I've had since then or things that I've gone through, that emotion, when you really love somebody, doesn't fade."
