She’s back to being a bad, mad girl in her new single.
Watch out! Miranda Lambert is raising hell again.
The groundbreaking, multiple-Platinum-selling country superstar has dropped a new single, “Wranglers,” that showcases her at her defiantly full-tilt best. Written by Audra Mae (who also sings on the track), Evan McKeever and Ryan Carpenter, the song — which Lambert debuted with a live performance at the Stagecoach Festival last weekend — is an instant classic stadium-ready anthem that exuberantly celebrates liberation from a bad situation. And a worse guy.
Sample lyrics: “If he ever loved her, he never let it show. If she didn’t need him, she’d a-left him long ago. She set it all on fire, and if there’s one thing that she learned — Wranglers take forever to burn.”
“I am so proud to sing this song,” Lambert says. “It feels like it could have been on the same record as ‘Gunpowder & Lead’ in a lot of ways. ‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’ is a pretty powerful statement, and the way it’s written, you can tell, we’re not kidding.”
“‘Wranglers’ is a classic tale of a woman taking her power back,” Lambert says. “I think we can all identify with the character in this song, because we have all had a time in our life where we needed to find our strength, and also get a little revenge on someone who did us wrong or hurt us. This offers such a cool, raging take on how something like this unravels; I think the songwriters nailed it.
“Country music at its core tells the truth about life, but it makes you feel something. Sometimes you laugh. Sometimes you throw your fist in the air. Sometimes that fist goes through the wall. All I know is I’ve got a lot more to say, and a lot more music coming soon. So for anyone who’s ever seen themselves in one of my songs, especially the rowdy ones, get ready! We wanted to come with something that really says something from the start. And there’s a whole lot of feelings and rhythms and great playing to come.”
