RaeLynn Returns To The Valory Music Co.

RaeLynn has signed with The Valory Music Co., marking a full-circle return to where she kickstarted her career. Her first release for the label, “Heaven Is A Honky Tonk,” is set for release May 9 via The Valory Music Co. in partnership with Red Van Records/Jonas Group Entertainment.

RaeLynn’s early hits like “Boyfriend” and the Platinum “God Made Girls” have recently gone viral on TikTok and Reels, sparking growth and engagement across her social media platforms and sparking a new chapter.

“I’ve been intrigued by RaeLynn since the very first time I saw her on The Voice,” says BMLG Chairman & CEO Scott Borchetta. “It’s now come full circle as her energy is infectious, her determination unwavering, and she’s brought us the absolute best music of her career. Welcome home, Rae!”

“I couldn’t be more excited to be coming back home to Big Machine Label Group,” adds RaeLynn. “Having both Scott Borchetta and Kevin Jonas Sr. covering all corners of my career is a dream come true! Kicking things off with ‘Heaven Is A Honky Tonk’ makes it even sweeter; it’s bold, it’s country, and it’s 100% me. I am more inspired and grateful than ever because of this new music and team!”

RaeLynn’s new single “Heaven Is A Honky Tonk” is a blend of Southern grit and divine rebellion penned by RaeLynn, Lauren Hungate and Caroline Watkins, and paints a picture of paradise with neon lights, pedal steel guitars and sawdust-covered dance floors. She teamed with Aaron Gillespie to co-produce the tune, her first time behind the boards, and her first release with the producer known for his career as the drummer of Metal band Underoath.

Fans will hear new music from RaeLynn all summer when she hits the road on Jason Aldean’s “Full Throttle Tour 2025,” which kicks off May 23 and visits Boston, Nashville, Houston and more.
