When she considers her "wish list" of songwriters she wants to work with, there are two names at the top of Carly Pearce's list, and she's had the good fortune to not only write with both of them, but also have singles with those songs, the most recent being, "Never Wanted to Be That Girl," a duet with its co-writer, Ashley McBryde.
"I have only wanted to write with two artists," she asserts in a statement from her label. "One being Luke Combs, and we wrote 'I Hope You're Happy Now,' and the second being Ashley. And I think what they both kind of resonate with me was that we all come from the same kind of country music.
"We just anticipate the way the other one's gonna sing, and I was hopeful that she would wanna write a duet that we would sing together," she adds, of Ashley. "And she actually has told me that she was hoping the same thing. And we got in there, and it just kinda happened. I just knew that we could do something together, and I knew it was gonna be special.
"And I'm just so proud of this song."
