Carly Pearce has lived a lot of life since the release of her debut album, Every Little Thing, in 2017. She met, fell in love, and married fellow country artist Michael Ray, and many of the songs on her self-titled Valentine’s Day release encapsulate the stages of a relationship.
when she got a call from Big Machine Label Group president and CEO Scott Borchetta saying he was about to send her a song that he wanted her to sing with her “new boyfriend.”
“It is a testament of what that song says: I never gave up and I never lost faith in myself," Pearce explains. "‘Woman Down,’ I feel like Shania had a way [with] those empowering female songs -- and as soon as I heard that song, I wanted to sing it for my mom. I wanted to sing it for my grandmother. I wanted to sing it for myself.”
“Before I could get to a place to write ‘I Hope You’re Happy Now,’ I felt really guilty. If you’ve ever been on the other side of a heartbreak where you caused it, and you know that that pain was real for somebody, it takes on a whole other thing,” she says. “Just because you break a heart doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt you… I don’t know that I could do something more vulnerable. This is probably the most naked I will ever feel in front of you, Nashville.
On the song’s chorus, Pearce sings, “I know nothing lasts forever/ But sometimes I still forget.” She says it’s this line that makes her think of her late producer. “That song and that lyric, and just understanding that life is so precious.”
