Lainey Wilson returns Friday, May 20, with "Heart Like a Truck," her next single and the first new music since her breakout debut album, Sayin' What I'm Thinkin', came out in early 2021.
"These past few months have been such a whirlwind, but man, it was quite the journey to get here," Lainey says. Her last two singles have both topped the country charts, but she's no overnight success: Early on, she worked as a Hannah Montana impersonator to pay the bills.
"Miley wasn't playing when she said, 'It's about the climb,' because it really is what builds character and teaches you the most about yourself," Lainey says, nodding to her early days playing Miley Cyrus' famous Disney Channel character.
