Lauren dropped “If The World Was a Small Town” earlier this month.
Lauren co-wrote 14 of the 15 songs on Sitting Pretty at the Top of the World
Alongside songwriters Liz Rose, Lori McKenna, Hillary Lindsey, Emily Weisband, David Garcia, Ben Johnson, and more, the singer co-wrote 14 of the 15 songs on Sitting Pretty On Top of the World, including her “Getting Over Him” featuring Jon Pardi, which is currently climbing the country charts.
Lauren describes how personal this album is saying, “It’s about a dreamer becoming an achiever. It’s being broken and ending up healed. It’s all of me. The early chapters. The new beginnings. The hope for the future and total appreciation for the past. Taking the Road Less Traveled and ending up Sitting Pretty on Top of the World.”
As she promised, “It Was Me” penned by Hillary Lindsey and Lauren Alaina dropped when the pre-order went live. Lauren described the heartbreaking weeper as “my fav song I’ve ever written.” Listen to it below.
