“Watermelon Moonshine” follows the release of Lainey Wilson’s fourth No. 1 single at Country radio and first single from Bell Bottom Country, “Heart Like a Truck”.
“I’m so excited to announce ‘Watermelon Moonshine’ as my next single. This song embodies what Country music means to me, creating a timeless story that will resonate with people for generations to come. This song is about the crazy, young, nostalgic love we all hope to experience.” – Lainey Wilson
Recently breaking the record for the shortest gap between No. 1 singles at Country Radio with her song “Heart Like a Truck” and her “wait in the truck” collaboration with HARDY, there’s no sign of Wilson slowing down. Already this year, Wilson has won four ACM Awards and two CMT Music Awards, completed a 28-date sold-out headlining tour, been honoured as Billboard Women in Music’s 2023 “Rulebreaker”, and started touring stadiums with Luke Combs as support on his world tour.
Fans can catch Lainey this summer at festivals including CMA Fest, Carolina Country Music Fest, Country Jam, Lollapalooza, and Watershed, amidst headlining Red Rocks Amphitheatre and headlining her first arena show at Mohegan Sun before she embarks on HARDY’s The Mockingbird and The Crow tour in September.
