Lainey Wilson’s Newest Single, “Wildflowers And Wild Horses,” Was Inspired By Her Childhood In Rural Louisiana

Lainey Wilson released her newest single, “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” on November 8. The track is the third single from her album Bell Bottom Country, which was recently nominated for a Grammy.

Wilson co-wrote the song with Trannie Anderson and Paul Sikes. She told Country Now and other outlets the song harkens back to her childhood growing up in rural Louisiana:

“This one definitely shows that western side, it takes me back to my childhood. It takes me back to my roots…I come from a long line of hardheaded tough people and people who have kind of blazed their own trails. I’m from five generations of farmers in northeast Louisiana, and I always compare farming to the music business. I mean, you get up every day, do the same thing, you have good years, you have bad years, but you just keep on blazing that trail. So I think it’s just kind of digging a little deeper into my story.”

Wilson delivered a fiery performance of “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” during the 2023 CMA Awards. Later that night, Wilson was named the CMA’s Entertainer of the Year.
