Lily Rose shares brand new song, “Even After Everything,” out now, November 15th on all streaming platforms.. Listen to the brand new track below.
Lily Rose has one of the purest, most distinct vocals amongst rising artists in country music. After her project Runnin’ Outta Time impressed fans across the genre, Rose continues to share more new music. Today, the songstress is sharing her latest new single, “Even After Everything.”
Written by Rose with heavy hitters, Paul DiGiovanni, Seth Ennis and Andy Albert, “Even After Everything” dives into the messy, yet relatable reality of still caring for someone who is not right for you. Despite all the hurt in the relationship, the protagonist yearns for the good times in the relationship, and cannot quite close the door on that chapter. Like most of Rose’s songs, “Even After Everything” is primed for the stage, begging for fans to sing along with her again and again
“We said things out on the porch // That wrap-around ain’t’ ever heard before // You dragged my name through the dirt // Kissed my friend cause you knew it’d hurt // You should be enemy // And I should make you dead to me // Even after everything // We’ve done to each other Id’ still pick it up if I saw your number // Forget you put me through the place // You told me to go”
“Even After Everything” is one of Rose’s most impressive releases to date!

The Beginning:
Back in 2021, we introduced you to viral, country newcomer, Lily Rose. In the past three years, Rose has garnered millions of fans and has become much more than her viral sensation, “Villain.” We reconnected with the singer-songwriter and chatted about her journey thus far and her new music that came out last week (5/10).
“I’m from Atlanta, Georgia, and my parents always had music playing in the house and took the plunge of letting me get a drum set and a guitar when I was a kid. They always just let me chase my dreams,” shared Rose, reminding us exactly how essential music was to her upbringing. Rose spent her childhood cultivating her sound and really delving into the music that she loved. According to the singer, she grew up listening to many different genres of music, taking inspiration along the way.
She credits her parents for her early musical influences, as well as their unconditional support in her and her interests. “My parents would take me to concerts when I was just eleven years old. And they let me stay and watch the guys in Mexican restaurants sing ‘one more song’,” she laughs. “They always fed into whatever my passions were and I think it’s really important for parents to do that outside of sports and academics.”
The Turning Point:
After graduating high school, Rose attended school in Athens, Georgia, where her love of music really hit its peak. “That’s where I started playing music and being on stage, and really tried to do the Lily Rose thing and not just write songs in my bedroom anymore,” shared the singer.
Despite wanting to move to Los Angeles to pursue music, Rose made the move to Nashville, after realizing that country music could be her future, thanks to Sam Hunt. “He’s kind of my North Star, and always has been when it comes to country music,” she shared. Adding, “When I was about to move up to town, I always wanted to move to LA and come and write country, but I just didn’t see myself being a country artist, until Sam came on the scene in 2014 and changed my whole perception of country music.”
Around the same time that Rose started to cut her teeth in Nashville, she download TikTok, which went on to change her life. “I moved up to Nashville, and I was here working every part-time job I could think of just trying to get a deal, and then I posted “Villain” on TikTok at the end of 2020, and everything changed, and here we are.”
Today:
Flash forward to today, Rose just released her best music to date. Her new EP, Runnin’ Outta Time speaks to her journey thus far, as well as, her true, authentic nature that is evident across her catalog of music. “I think everyday is different. There are some days where I’m like “hey I’m proposing to my girlfriend in a week, let’s write a song about it,” and then this next chapter of music, I kind of had to recenter myself a bit, and truly figure out who I am in the amidst of really crazy partying culture and trying to be the best me I can be at the same time. It just depends on the day, but I always try to be the most authentic that I can.”
The new project features six songs that all tell a unique story, while still feeling relatable to the listener. “‘Parking Lot’ is the oldest of them all. We wrote that in 2021, and I’ve always loved it. It never was really moving the needle in the A&R meetings in what we were going to cut, so I just started to play it out with Sam Hunt, and it kind of convinced everybody. But the other five songs, we’ve written in the last ten months,” shared the singer.
According to the entertainer, she really found her Nashville crew in songwriting, which allowed her to create this body of work. “We can attack [writing songs] whole-heartedly, and these six songs are kind of an example of where I’m at in my life right now. The crossroads of one street being I’m going balls to the wall partying, we are touring and I’ve been married for a year, and we’ve been celebrating and just having the time of our lives, and the other street of always trying to be the best version of myself that I can, always trying to be the pest person, sister, wife daughter, friend, while also trying to make sure I’m doing it all, while working on my relationship with God. So it’s all this really cool layout of what my life has looked like these last ten months, and we put it into songs.”
While this EP may be the best body of work Rose has put out thus far, in the words of the stellar singer,“I feel like we’re just getting started.” Fans can catch the singer on the road with Luke Bryan this season. Checkout all of her tour dates here and stay tuned for even more new music!

Lily Rose shares new EP, Runnin’ Outta Time, out now, May 10th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new project below.
For rising country star, Lily Rose, the past few years have been a whirlwind of bucket list moments. However, the singer-songwriter found herself getting lost in the pursuit of success. “I really wanted to achieve and keep achieving and came to realize that it’s not the most important thing,” She shares in a statement. “What I need to achieve most is to be a good wife and a good daughter and a good friend — that will keep fueling the fire for the rest of my career.”
On her new EP, the follow up to her 2021 album, Villain, Rose is honest and vulnerable, reflecting on the goals that mean the most, where she always finds herself returning, and what’s truly important in life. Her lush vocals perfectly accompany an array of country instrumentation on the perfectly crafted collection that is sure to continue her ascension into stardom.
“All I’ve ever wanted to do is write and perform songs just like these. In my opinion, these six songs are the most honest and accurate to who I am as an artist, and it doesn’t happen without a creative village that believes I have something special to say to the world,” The Big Loud recording artist shared on social media.
That “creative village” included the likes of Trannie Anderson, Emily Weisband, Hillary Lindsey, Seth Ennis, and more, who co-penned the collections six tracks, alongside Rose. The result is a stirring and honest body of work.
The Georgia native opens with “The Goal,” a twangy, guitar laden mid-tempo ode to all of her desired accomplishments. They may range from playing shows to having a song on the radio, but within it all, she realizes that’s not what’s most important. “It took waking up in a quarter life crisis,” She muses. “To figure out what the point of life is.”
“Put family first, but still put the work in // Live them words in the Sunday sermon // See a half full glass of Bourbon and make time to go back home // Do what you love, love what you’re doing // If you say I do, Hell, don’t undo it // Have ‘Good friend, even better human’ // Written on that headstone // Good Lord knows I ain’t there yet but damn is that the goal”
She’s nostalgic on tracks like “Parking Lot” and “True North,” with “Lot” finding her reliving the heyday of her youth, moments that were shared between friends and hard to forget. Likewise, “True North” is a love song to her hometown in Georgia, her inner compass always pointing her back South.
On the confessional “Back Pew,” the singer-songwriter grapples with her spirituality, seeking solace at the back of a church. She may be fifteen minutes late and settling way into the back, but it’s a relatable approach to religion and God that many can appreciate. “At least I showed my face, and showing up here’s the first step…” She admits. “I got a last ditch prayer for the man upstairs, so Lord would you help me through? Even if I’m in the back pew.”
“Two Flowers” offers a special moment, finding Rose appreciating her uniquely floral name and all that it stands for. “It wasn’t just some family hand me down ’cause I’m one of a kind // It wasn’t some name from the Bible days, ’cause that ain’t quite my style // I guess the first time Mama held me, she could see it in my eyes // She named me after two flowers, because I was born to be wild.”
The EP ends with its title track, “Runnin’ Outta Time,” a 90’s-inspired country jaunt about just how fast time flies. “Went to bed at 21, woke up at 29,” She laments, a wistfully playful tone in her voice. “Probably ain’t true but tonight it feels like, I’m runnin’ outta time, for the time of my life.”
While Lily Rose may feel like time is passing her by and she’s Runnin’ Outta Time, this EP proves that she’s only getting started.

Lily Rose announces brand new EP, Runnin’ Outta Time,’ out May 10th in conjunction with two brand new songs, out today, March 22nd. Listen to the brand new tracks below.
Fans of Lily Rose are in for a real treat. The singer-songwriter is has a brand new project, coming out on May 10th. Her EP, Runnin’ Outta Time will feature six brand new songs for fans to fall in love with. Today, Rose is giving a sneak peak of her record with two new songs that show off the flavor of the upcoming EP. “Parking Lot” and “True North” are officially out now.
“Parking Lot” personifies nostalgia. The song is all about all the experiences we go through in the most obscure place, a parking lot. Feeling like a canon event for all of us, most people have had a life-changing or pivotal experience in a parking lot, whether it be a first kiss, a first beer or a heartbreaking phone call. The symbolism of the song’s lyrics is on full display through the entire song.
About a first beer // That first kiss that first broken heart // That fight that you finished but you didn’t start // Living outside the lines parked in ‘em // Tailgate down in some faded blue denim // It’s smoking week, feed IDs, and country blue lights // It’s halftime fifth tipped to the sky Friday nights // Don’t matter where you been or where you’re from or what you got // There ain’t no denying // There’s something ‘bout a parking lot”
With “True North,” Rose leans into the nostalgic reliability again; however, this song feels a bit more close to home to the singer. On the song, the songstress shares with fans the places that she calls home and the places that provide her with peace and clarity when she is needing a moment to herself. While Rose’s true north might not be our true north, it is easy to relate to the concept of this catchy, yet special track.
“To the Chattahoochee River running underneath the pines // Sweet perfume off a honeysuckle vine // Corner Georgia dive ya’ll come back on the door // My stuck in time, my true north // Springsteen sweet tea and a red letter page // All call may name when I lose my way // When I need to see the light // on my mama’s front porch // I head down sound // to my true north”
Rose is a master at creating nostalgic music that is both relatable and personal. It is hard not to like every one of her releases. Definitely add “Parking Lot” and “True North” to your playlists!

The one-year anniversary of Lily Rose’s debut album Stronger Than I Am, featuring the RIAA Gold-certified single, “Villain” just passed, and the rising singer-songwriter is celebrating it with a new song, “Whatcha Know About That.”
Written by Dave Pittenger, Jonathan Hutcherson, Sydney Cubit, and Miranda Glory, the singer attempts to learn more about her current love interest by asking her how familiar she is with country living. Rose combines her pop-influenced swagger with plenty of southern imagery to create a fun sound fit for country radio.

Lily Rose’s brand new song, “In My Drinks” is out now, July 15th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
Rose returns with new music after just releasing her latest Joey Moi-produced track “I’d Be You” last month. “In My Drinks” is unique because there are plenty of country songs that feature the singer at a bar trying to forget an ex, but in this tune, Rose drinks to remember. She misses her former lover and relives the memories with her through beer and bourbon. Rose sticks with her signature country/hip-hop blended sound, with Jamie Davis, Jordan Gray, and Rob Pennington penning the lyrics.
“I only see her in my drinks, in between the bourbon and beer // As long as I’m still buzzing, she’s sitting right here // ‘Cause it’s clear when I’m sober, that it’s over with the girl of my dreams // Now I only see her in my drinks”
Rose will play many country festivals this summer and finish opening up for Sam Hunt on tour. She will also open several shows for Sam Hunt including ones at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut and the Long Island Community Hospital Amphitheater on August 19 and 21, respectively. Come fall, she will join Dylan Scott on his Amen To That Tour. Head to her website for tickets.

Lily Rose’s brand new song, “I’d Be You” is out now, June 10th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
ACM Best New Female Artist nominee, Lily Rose made a splash in country music with her TikTok hit, “Villain” in late 2020. Following the success of the viral smash that topped Taylor Swift on iTunes, she landed a joint-venture record deal with Big Loud Records, Back Blocks Music, and Republic Records. Last October, she toured with label-mate, Chris Lane and dropped her ten-track debut project, Stronger Than I Am.
Being influenced by a wide variety of artists from Bruce Springsteen to J Cole, her music generally consists of raw storytelling backed with a thumping beat—”I’d Be You” is no different. In this song, the singer sees her ex at the bar with another person. Obviously jealous, she rattles off the things she should have done when they were together in her head, thinking if she had done those things, she would be that other person.
“Driving her car back to her place, guess you can say I’d be you // Wrecking her bed, stuck on my mind, she’d still be mine (I’d be you) // Yeah, I’d be you”
Rose will play many country festivals this summer including Barefoot Country Music Fest in Wildwood, New Jersey next weekend. She will also open several shows for Sam Hunt including ones at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut and the Long Island Community Hospital Amphitheater on August 19 and 21, respectively.

Lily Rose drops three new song to add to her debut EP Stronger Than I Am. Check out our full review and listen to the brand new music below.
Earlier this month, rising artist Lily Rose released her debut EP, Stronger Than I Am.The project featured seven original songs that speak to Rose’s one-of-a-kind talent, including hit songs like “Villain” and “Know My Way Around.” Today, the songstress surprises fans, adding three brand new songs to the collection.
The first new song is “Someone New In Town.” Written by Rocky Block, John Byron, and Jordan Gray, the track is one of the two new outside cuts for the singer. Sonically, the song fits in perfectly with the rest of her body of work. On the track, Rose uses a melancholy tone and sings of hoping that there is another person doing the things she thinks her ex is doing aka, “someone new in town.” Rose pleads to not have her heart broken on this enticing new song.
The other outside cut, “Every Last One,” is a love song. It is the perfect time to release this heartwarming song as personally, Rose just got engaged to her girlfriend earlier this week. The song drops the facade of being too cool and focuses on wanting everything with that special someone.
“There’s no place on earth that I’d rather been // I want every last one // All those little half drunk kisses in the kitchen with a handle of red wine // I want every midnight, every single sunrise // Baby what are you doing for the rest of your life”
Finally, the third new addition to the Stronger Than I Am project is “I’d Be Lying.” Written by Rose with Matt Dragstrem and Jordan Minton, the singer-songwriter shines on the powerful song. One of the most relatable tracks that Rose has released so far, “I’d Be Lying” is about the way we all act after a break-up. We all pretend to be “fine,” despite the fact that things are tough and emotions are meant to be felt. The song is the perfect infusion of the singer’s vocals and honest lyrics.
With each and every release, Rose is proving her staying power in the industry. She is honest, true-blue, and a bonafide talent in country music. We cannot wait to watch Rose continue to soar!

The Beginning:
This week’s Swag Spotlight artist is someone you may already know and if you don’t, you will. Lily Rose is an absolute force in the country music industry right now. She first burst on to the scene just a year ago, and has already won the hearts of millions of country fans everywhere. Learn more about her artistry, her new EP Stronger Than I Am, and her journey below.
A Georgia-native, Rose grew up with a supportive and music loving family. “I grew up in a household where music was always playing,” she shared. “My parents did not play instruments, but there was always music playing.” Although she did not grow up around musicians, her parents noticed a knack for music and rhythm in Rose at just nine years old. Her parents bought her a drum set and subsequently a guitar, which she taught herself.
She credits her parents for her early musical influences, as well as their unconditional support in her and her interests. “My parents would take me to concerts when I was just eleven years old. And they let me stay and watch the guys in Mexican restaurants sing ‘one more song’,” she laughs. “They always fed into whatever my passions were and I think it’s really important for parents to do that outside of sports and academics.”
More specifically, Rose’s father introduced her to the likes of artists like Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles, and The Beach Boys. According to the singer, “My biggest songwriting and country influence is really Bruce Springsteen. […] I think he’s the best songwriter of all time.” The songstress also found inspiration in Taylor Swift, when she was a freshman in high school, due to her relatable storytelling.
“She really was the encouragement and the push over the edge to start writing songs. How do I write something that my friends feel relatable with,” shared Rose of Swift. “ I kind of just explored that without any seriousness all through high school.”
At fifteen years old, Rose started songwriting and cultivating her own musical interests. “I’m really thankful that I didn’t try to hone in to one genre. I’m super influenced by different artists like NEEDTOBREATHE, Ben Rector, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift, while also loving country music. I just continue to make music even through my move to Nashville that just felt like me,” exclaimed the singer-songwriter.
The Turning Point:
Although some would say that moving to Nashville and joining TikTok was the biggest turning point in her career, Rose reflects on a specific turning point much earlier on. The songstress discovered country music for herself when she turned sixteen and had her own radio. “It was “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” and “Dirt Road Anthem”. I never turned back. Country is what I was listening to the most,” shared the singer of truly falling for the genre. With that being said, Rose’s music is still heavily influenced by the likes of John Mayer, Maroon Five, the pop-rock scene, and of course, rappers like Kendrick Lamar and J Cole.
After beginning to play open mic nights in college, Rose realized that music was exactly what she wanted to do for a living. She found herself moving to Nashville soon after. When she arrived and started to co-write with other artists on the scene, Rose recalls thinking, “This is the music I’ve been trying to make over the last eight years.”
Soon after in October 2020, Rose downloaded TikTok, and the era of “Villain,”, her viral hit was born. “To put it into perspective, 365 days ago I did not have TikTok,” she declares. “It’s insane what’s happened in the last 9.5 months, let alone, the last year.”
Today:
Today, the singer gets to officially celebrate all the success culminating with the release of her new EP Stronger Than Me. The seven-song project was crafted thoughtfully over the last several months by Rose and her team. “The project as a whole has one theme that I look at on all seven of these songs, it’s what made “Villain,” which is relatability.” Adding later, “All of them have a really cool way of saying ‘I’m heartbroken’ or ‘I need to get over you’ or ‘I haven’t gotten over you,’ just so many ways in country music that this is topic is done over and over again. We found titles and hooks or we wrote titles and hooks in ways that have never been done before in country music.”
The EP is a unique collection of songs that Rose has penned, as well as songs that she selected in order to fill out her setlist. Interestingly, the singer has gotten to sing all these songs at her live shows over the past few months. “It’s really special that all of these songs I’ve been playing live and if you’ve been to a show, people have heard these already. So what I’m excited about is to see the growth of the song and see people sing them back.”
Every song is special in its own right, but the title track is the song that speaks to Rose the most. “I feel like the “Villain” chapter of the last ten months is turning into the “Stronger Than I Am” chapter,” she begins, “There’s a reason that, that song is the title track, that song stands above the others. I think it’s really one of the best written country songs that I’ve heard in a long time.”
