Carly Pearce is celebrating a new decade with brand new music. Ahead of the release of her self-titled sophomore album on Feb. 14, Pearce has released a flirty new track titled “Call Me.”
The infectious tune has the country singer telling a man with a broken heart that there’s no need for him to stay home and be lonely. “For a good time call me/ Baby you won’t be sorry/ Lay your hands and your kisses on me/ And I’ll make it all alright,” she croons on the chorus.
In a short video clip, Pearce explains the story behind the song, which was written by Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook of Little Big Town. She says her producer, the late Busbee, played the song for her and “Call Me” had the “swagger and sass that I hear in Little Big Town’s music.”
“It’s a little different for me,” Pearce says. “Sticking the dobro and banjo on it, it became this rhythmic different musical moment and it lets me be sassy. Just because I got married doesn’t mean that I don’t want to be sexy and flirty and fun.
“We all know I slid into husband] Michael Ray’s] DM’s and the song embodies] that confidence to say, ‘I’m here, I’m not going to beg for it but if you want it come get it.’”
“Call Me” was written by Little Big Town’s Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook with Emily Shackelton and busbee. The feel-good track follows the release of previous single “I Hope You’re Happy Now” featuring Lee Brice as well as “Closer To You” and “It Won’t Always Be Like This.”
