Lauren Alaina has released a new song called “All My Exes,” a duet with country newcomer, Chase Matthew.
She tells Taste of Country Nights that something happened while making this song that has never happened to her before.
Alaina explained how the two other songwriters, Ben Johnson and Whitney Phillips, had already had the chorus of the song done before sending it to Alaina to finish the verses.
“I don’t know that I’ve ever actually done that before,” she explains. “It was really fun because I was actually driving to the session knowing what I was going to write about.”
Alaina says that typically she would show up [to the songwriting session] “with like three or four ideas,” of what a song could be about, whereas this one, she already knew what the song should be about.
“I wrote the first verse on the way to the writing session. Which is kinda crazy, I was like, in the car, recalling a time in my life, you know I’m married and have a daughter now, I wrote this about my past life.”
Specifically, the song is “about an argument I got into with an ex down on Broadway and just a crazy night that I had,” she says. “You know what’s so funny about this song, it’s actually my husband’s favorite.”
Given the subject matter, you wouldn’t expect it to be her husband’s favorite. But he was sure this should be her next single, so she listened to him.
Who Sang the Original Song “All My Exes”?
The King of Country, George Strait. “All My Ex’s Live in Texas” was a No. 1 hit for him back in 1987.
