Over the weekend, Miranda Lambert graced her home state of Texas with the live debut of her latest single, 'Dammit Randy.'
"Got to do this for the 1st time live with my Texas family this weekend," the artist shared on social media, following her June 29 showcase at Midland, Texas' Momentum Bank Ballpark. "Midland, y’all were already screaming DAMMIT RANDY so loud. Love y’all."
'Dammit Randy' officially arrived on Friday (June 28) and is quickly on its way to becoming another instant hit for the country mainstay. Born from "a conversation the night before [songwriter-producer] Jon Randall and I went into the studio to make this album,” Lambert explained the song is about a particular "unappreciative Randy."
In a statement, she offered, “We were talking about how excited we were to be starting this journey with a new label family (Republic and Big Loud) and how supported we felt by them, which turned into chatting about situations where you might not feel so supported by someone – in this song’s case, an unappreciative Randy. So, this one’s for anyone with a Randy they need to move on from.”
This year has seen Lambert make some big career moves, most recently joining Republic Records for a fresh start that 'Dammit Randy' likely addresses.
'Dammit Randy', along with the previously released 'Wranglers', mark her first releases since the label move, a career step that promises an empowered new era for the star.
“Talking to [Republic executives] and the Big Loud folks who are leaning in, everyone understood my desires and vision for this next era of my music," she explained upon news of the shift. “Having a new home has given me a hunger I didn’t realize I still had inside me ... I can’t wait to get out there with this new label and this new music.”
