The newly signed Sony Music Nashville artist releases her third song
Kayley Green surprises fans with the announcement of her new track “You’d Still Be Drunk” via Sony Music Nashville. Written by Green along with Jason Gantt and Josh Osborne, the track embodies the validating experience of running into an ex under the neon lights and getting confirmation that moving on was the best decision. The song features Green’s signature powerhouse vocals along with rocking production and an infectious melody.
“I used to wonder if I left too soon… but truth is, he’d still be drunk, and I’d still be disappointed,” Green shares about the inspiration behind the track. “‘You’d Still Be Drunk’ is for anyone who has realized they weren’t the problem — they were just dating one. It’s a lighthearted reminder that sometimes walking away is a better kind of buzz.”
The release follows Green’s previous tracks, “Broken Heart,” and “This Little Love of Mine.”
Born and raised in Florence, South Carolina, Sony Music Nashville’s Kayley Green had her heart set on a career in music from a young age. With iconic female vocalists like Martina McBride and Faith Hill filling up the soundtrack of her childhood, Green got her start singing in church. She continued singing in her teenage years, later cutting her teeth with a weekly gig at a local restaurant and bar while in high school. Eventually moving to Nashville to attend Belmont University, Green started playing regularly on Nashville’s lower Broadway, further honing her craft as an entertainer.
Green’s powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence during her sets on Broadway later caught the attention of superstar Keith Urban, who invited her to join him at his upcoming Bridgestone Arena show. Green took the stage to perform “We Were Us” with Urban and cover “Independence Day,” with Sony Music Nashville’s A&R team taking notice of her talent and eventually signing her to the label. Green began working with producer Ross Copperman shortly after, kicking off the new chapter of her musical journey with track “Live Fast Die Pretty.” Green has amassed a loyal fanbase by taking followers behind the scenes of her life on TikTok and Instagram. Green still performs each week during a weekend headline slot at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row.
