BREAKOUT COUNTRY STAR BAYLEE LYNN PREMIERES
POWERFUL NEW SINGLE & VIDEO “HEART ON MY SLEEVE”
Today, 17-year-old singer/songwriter Baylee Lynn shares her bold new single, “Heart On My Sleeve.” Accompanied by a sun-soaked video filmed in Los Angeles, “Heart On My Sleeve” arrives as one of the most powerful songs yet from the Nashville-based breakout star. Go HERE to listen to “Heart On My Sleeve” now, and check out the video HERE.
“‘Heart On My Sleeve’ is a song to remind young women to remember their worth and to never let a heartbreak define them,” says Baylee. “It’s a reminder to always keep your head up and keep being you. I love this song so much, and I hope it reaches someone out there who is questioning their worth.”
Produced by AJ Pruis (a GRAMMY-nominated producer/songwriter/musician known for his work with Megan Moroney, Maddie & Tae, and more), “Heart On My Sleeve” brings Baylee’s message of self-worth to a shimmering country-pop anthem anchored in her soul-stirring vocal work. After setting the scene of a troubled relationship and delivering a word of warning to the one who’s messing with her heart (“I ain’t gonna stick around/If you don’t put me in the clouds”), Baylee caps off the song’s soaring chorus with an unforgettable statement of resilience and self-assurance: “Oh, you can rip it to shreds/I’ll just go get some thread/And stitch up the broken heart/On my sleeve.” In a particularly striking moment, Baylee belts out the bridge with a breathtaking balance of tenderness and strength, fully proving that she holds the power to create her own happiness.
Directed by Kate Bowling and Ryan Schmidt the video for “Heart On My Sleeve” tags along with Baylee as she roams around L.A. in her signature red cowboy boots and heart-shaped sunglasses. With the sweetly laid-back feel of a classic home movie, the retro-styled visual follows her from the sidewalks of Beverly Hills to the beach in Santa Monica. Whether she’s scoping out the L.A. skyline at Griffith Observatory or riding the Ferris wheel at Santa Monica Pier, Baylee lights up every frame with her carefree charisma.
Co-written by Baylee, Jenna Shuffler, Emma Klein, and Dan Pellarin, “Heart On My Sleeve” is the latest in a series of irresistible singles from the fast-rising artist. In August, she made a triumphant debut with “Cautiously Optimistic” — a bravely honest anthem that quickly topped Billboard’s new music poll with 64 percent of the vote, winning out over superstars like Sabrina Carpenter. Continuing to showcase her unstoppable talent, Baylee returned in September with “John, Dear,” a midtempo stunner that perfectly captures the frustration of dealing with a guy who gets jealous all too easily. As revealed earlier this week, she’ll also join the likes of country hitmakers Ella Langley and Kacey Musgraves as well as labelmates Just Jayne on the star-studded Nobody Wants This Season 2: The Soundtrack, due out October 23.
Originally from Greeneville, TN, Baylee got her start singing in church as a little girl and taught herself to play guitar at six-years-old. As the latest in a long line of musicians, she soon took up piano and wrote her first song at 13, tapping into longtime inspirations like Dolly Parton and Faith Hill and quickly uncovering her one-of-a-kind perspective on life and love. Stay tuned for more new music from Baylee soon.
