Carly Pearce has just released a new single called “Next Girl,” which she co-wrote from personal experience and as a friendly bit of advice for other single ladies so they can avoid being the “next girl.” She tells us: “‘Next Girl’ is a song that I think every girl has been on both sides of the story at least once in our life, but I bet quite a few times. And for me, I’ve been single the majority of my life, so I’ve encountered this guy a lot through my life and my girlfriends have encountered him. Girls at my show probably encounter him at my show, or after the show I see girls encounter him at the bar. And for me, it’s an anthem for girls, kind of like as their big sister, telling them, ‘This guy’s never gonna change. It’s the same story night after night, and to watch out for it.”
The lyrics to “Next Girl” includes:
“I bet he said he never falls this hard
Yeah, I remember that part
He knows how to say all the right things
Knows how to get you outta that dress
Knows how to make you think you’re the best thing
But I know what happens next, girl.”
So far, Carly hasn't commented as to whether her ex-husband Michael Ray falls into this category.
“Next Girl” is the followup to Carly's Number One hit “I Hope You're Happy Now.”
