Listen to the new song from the American Idol alum.
Entering a new musical chapter, powerhouse vocalist and Grand Ole Opry member Lauren Alaina has released a new song “Those Kind Of Women,” available now. Following the release, Alaina will join fellow American Idol-alum Kelly Clarkson tomorrow on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
“It's all about the women who raised me,” Alaina shared about the song with PEOPLE. “I was really fortunate to be raised around a bunch of very strong women. And when we cut this song, when we recorded this song, I was not pregnant nor thinking about becoming pregnant. It's funny how things fell into place.”
Highlighting Alaina's “standout voice” (The Tennessean) and “relatable persona” (MusicRow), the heartfelt new track – produced by lauded hitmaker Joey Moi and penned by Lainey Wilson, Monty Criswell, Derek George and Lynn Hutton – is an ode to her raising and a testament to her loved ones' faith, belting lyrics like “whatever kinda hell they were goin' through, Jesus was right there with 'em.”
With three chart-topping hits under her belt – RIAA Platinum-certified “Road Less Traveled,” 9X Platinum “What Ifs” with her childhood friend Kane Brown, and 3X Platinum “ONE BEER” with labelmate HARDY and Devin Dawson – Alaina will hit the road with Rascal Flatts on their highly-anticipated Life Is A Highway Tour next month.
