Lady A Shares First Taste Of Upcoming Album In Sassy New Single, ‘Like A Lady’
Lady A celebrates the confidence of a woman at her best in their new single, “Like A Lady,” that has just been released. The single, an empowered sneak peek into their upcoming eighth studio album, comes as the group’s Hillary Scott is honored as one of 31 women leaders from diverse industries in Dress For Success’ “Your Hour, Her Power” campaign.
Co-written by the group’s Scott with Dave Barnes, Michelle Buzz, Martin Johnson and Brandon Paddock, the danceable throwback anthem finds Scott leading the band with joyful vocal abandon and a playful strut in a shoutout to those who’ve spent the last year learning to live it up in loungewear.
“I feel my most confident when I’m not trying too hard,” Scott explains. “I love getting glammed up and all the fancy clothes, but when I feel the most ‘me,’ it’s a lot more laid back – and I think that’s a lot of us. You are your most authentic self in blue jeans with a tequila drink, ya know? As we were writing it, I was like ‘It’s always been my dream to do a song that combines the things I love about Dolly Parton’s ‘9 to 5’ and Shania Twain’s ‘Man! I Feel Like a Woman!’ – two of the most strong, powerful female songs ever. So it was like ‘How can we do our version of that?’”
“We were some of the biggest champions for ‘Like A Lady’ and we’re honored to stand alongside Hillary,” says Lady A’s Dave Haywood. “We’ve had a front row seat to her strength over the years and we love linking arms with her on this song.”
“This song has such a great feel to it,” Lady A’s Charles Kelley adds. “One of the coolest parts of being in a co-ed band is being able to share those different perspectives, so that’s just part of what we get to do.”
