It’s just so cool to be able to go out to dinner and buy my mom’s dinner now. You know what I mean? She’s just done so much for me. I love that I can give back to her now because she’s the most amazing woman ever. – RaeLynn
‘The Voice’ ignited a fire in me to be an artist and to be a country singer, but not winning ignited an even bigger fire, because I was just like, ‘First of all, I know that I want this’; now I wanted it even more, ’cause I didn’t know if I had a record deal. – RaeLynn
I’ve been writing since I came to Nashville when I was 17. I’ve been blessed to have written with so many of the biggest names around. They took me under their wing and taught me the ways of writing. They saw something special in me, which feels great. Every song on my record is going to be original, and that’s just a really cool feeling. – RaeLynn
I’m never nervous about being vulnerable with my songwriting because my favorite artists are ones that are vulnerable. I want people to feel like they know me. – RaeLynn
There is nothing cooler than to have them singing your words back to you. The last show I did, I was kind of nervous about putting the mic out there, because you’re not sure how it’s going to go. But I did, and they sang the whole chorus. I thought, ‘Holy crap! That is the coolest feeling.’ It’s the biggest rush ever. – RaeLynn
You’re only as good as your last song. That’s something somebody told me, and it’s so true. You’ve just gotta keep putting yourself out there, even promoting ‘God Made Girls.’ – RaeLynn
There’s just something so special about ‘God Made Girls.’ It comes from a girl’s perspective, and there’s nothing like that on radio right now, and so I think that’s what made us able to pick that song as a single. – RaeLynn
The coolest part about ‘God Made Girls’ is you had all these different women writing it, so you had all these different perspectives in this song. – RaeLynn
My mom is the most amazing woman ever. She grew up a single mom raising five kids, and she’s always told me to follow my dreams. One thing I’ve learned about her is she sacrificed her whole life for me to focus on my dream, and I cannot wait to do that for my kids. – RaeLynn
I got to go back and perform ‘God Made Girls’ on ‘The Voice,’ which was awesome. I also got invited to sing on the ‘Grand Ole Opry,’ which was another unbelievable moment. – RaeLynn
I’m doing a program with NAFME for music and education in schools, and for a week, we will be getting in a bus and traveling across the United States. We’re starting at Disney World and ending at the Grand OIe Opry. We will be performing at different schools, and I wrote a song for the program called ‘Always Sing.’ – RaeLynn
That’s my favorite part about songwriting, the way you write a song, and someone else might hear it a different way. – RaeLynn
