Mickey Guyton releases brand-new song "Somethin' Bout You" this Friday, Aug. 26. "Somethin' Bout You," written by Guyton with
Tyler Hubbard and
David Garcia, serves as the first of three new songs expected this year from the Texas-native.
"'Somethin' Bout You' is reminiscent of those easy, joy-filled, early days of loving someone, and discovering something new in each other every day," shares Guyton.
"Since having my son Grayson, I've been seeing the arc of life from a new perspective, and I love celebrating every bit of it - from heartbreak to finding your person and falling in love, to the newfound love between a parent and a child. This song is the start of that journey."
Also on Friday morning, Guyton is set to perform "Somethin' Bout You" as part of her appearance on TODAY Summer Concert Series. Tune in to NBC at 7 a.m. Friday, Aug. 26.
"Somethin' Bout You" follows Guyton's groundbreaking, GRAMMY-contending debut album Remember Her Name. The critically acclaimed 16-song project was hailed by the Associated Press as "a powerful and personal debut," while Guyton earned praise from NPR which noted, "[Guyton] raises the rafters and distills emotion with impeccable clarity. Her high notes thrill, her nuance in storytelling captivates. A star for our times claims her place."
