A part of her was also wondering when her own moment would come.<\/p>\n<p>She tells me on <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/nights\"><em>Taste of Country Nights<\/em><\/a>, &#8220;I just put out a song on Friday called &#8216;Happy for Myself,&#8217; and it&#8217;s a story of going to a ring store or jewelry store with my girlfriend who was getting engaged and feeling just really jealous and envious of her and feeling that comparison of when will I be happy for myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That may be one of the most honest feelings a person can admit.<\/p>\n<p>You can love somebody, genuinely be happy for them and still find yourself wondering why your own life doesn&#8217;t look the same. Pearce doesn&#8217;t try to sugarcoat that feeling. Instead, she turned it into a song.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s exactly what fans can expect from <em>Honest Woman<\/em>, which arrives tomorrow. Pearce is giving listeners a look at both sides of her life, both the successes and the sacrifices.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Happy for Myself&#8221; may be especially relatable for anyone who has ever watched a friend or family member reach a milestone and quietly wondered, &#8220;When is it going to be my turn?&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Carly Pearce Gets\u00a0Extremely Vulnerable With &#8216;Dream Come True&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p>When I asked Pearce which song on the new album was the most vulnerable for her, she said the track called &#8220;Dream Come True.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pearce said, &#8220;I never am afraid to put them out, but I would say the most vulnerable, &#8220;Dream Come True&#8221; is very vulnerable, just talking about my journey of, you know, successes and the valleys and the mountaintops of this job and the sacrifices that come with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That honesty is a big part of what makes her next album, Honest Woman, feel so personal. Pearce isn&#8217;t just singing about the good moments. She&#8217;s willing to talk about the parts of life that aren&#8217;t always easy to admit out loud.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/carly-pearce-honest-woman-album-interview\/\">Carly Pearce Says Upcoming Fifth Album Will Be Her Most Vulnerable Yet [Exclusive]<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>For Pearce, the answer is still lingering in the background.
