NASHVILLE, TENN.<\/strong> \u2013 Beloved for her relatability and candor \u2013 country superstar Lauren Alaina <\/strong>chronicles her change of heart and perspective following the loss of her father on the deeply personal new song \u201cLittle Things<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.\u201d Finding Alaina at her most vulnerable and earnest, the song is available now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe loss of my father was unexpected and life shattering. When you have a loss of this magnitude, the little things in life start to matter a lot less,\u201d shares Grand Ole Opry member Alaina<\/strong>. \u201cI will never forget the conversation I had with my brother on the way to the session I wrote this song. He said someone had complained to him about the cost of eggs. He said he just kept thinking to himself, ‘My dad just died. I don’t really care about the cost of eggs anymore.’ It really struck me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI told him when something that really matters happens, your eyes are opened to what doesn’t. I told him I was going to write that song for us that day. I know our dad would be proud of us both,\u201d continues Alaina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penning \u201cLittle Things\u201d with Ross Copperman, Seth Ennis and Emily Falvey, the new song was produced by lauded hitmaker Joey Moi. Through Alaina’s transparency, American Songwriter <\/em>shares, \u201cAlaina has built up a reputation for being a vibrant force of positivity in the world.\u201d Sung directly to her treasured father, Alaina chronicles the way her perspective has shifted away from sweating the small stuff that vies for attention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bet you’re in Heaven swearing Hell froze over<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sitting on a cloud, looking down just watching me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brush a little more off my shoulder<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smiling through tears sitting here with a song to sing<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your whole world stops<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It makes you stop to think<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since you went and got your big ole angel wings<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I give a little less damn ’bout the little things<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLittle Things\u201d follows a string of resonating releases from Alaina including \u201cAll My Exes (feat. Chase Matthew)<\/u><\/a>,\u201d which gave Alaina the biggest first-week streaming numbers of her career. Earlier this year, she released a similarly sassy \u201cHousehold<\/u><\/a>,\u201d called a \u201cSong You Need to Know\u201d by Rolling Stone<\/em>, the softhearted, sentimental \u201cThose Kind of Women<\/u><\/a>\u201d that Billboard<\/em> deems \u201ca tender ballad,” and \u201cHeaven Sent<\/u><\/a>\u201d in celebration of the birth of her baby girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amidst a new chapter in music and in life, Alaina has discussed such topics with endearing honesty on The Kelly Clarkson Show<\/u><\/em><\/a>, Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe<\/u><\/em><\/a>, <\/em>Amazon’s Country Heat Weekly podcast<\/u><\/a>, and Diving In Deep with Sara Evans<\/u><\/em><\/a>, among other interviews. Fans can also see Alaina, who \u201cutilizes her likeness to encourage authenticity\u201d (Forbes<\/em>), via her web series LA Lately <\/em>where she captures true-to-life conversations with some of her closest friends. Recent episodes include guests like Trisha Yearwood, Hannah Brown, Chase Matthew, Russell and more. The series can be viewed here<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
