“If It Wasn’t For A Woman” is available now
Kellie Pickler has released “If It Wasn’t For A Woman,” a song inspired and written in tribute to her late grandmother, Faye Pickler, who raised her and continues to serve as an important inspiration in the singer’s life. Pickler co-wrote the song with her husband Kyle Jacobs and songwriter Brian Bunn. Pickler notably debuted the song with Jacobs on piano during a CMA Music Festival performance earlier this year. The song is available now for download and streaming and currently climbing the iTunes Country chart.
“This song is so incredibly special to me…it means a lot to me to be able to spotlight the love of the woman who helped shape me into the woman I am today,” the country music darling shares of her grandmother Faye, who passed away from lung cancer in 2002. “One of the most beautiful things about this song is that this is real life in a song. I think so many people will identify with this sweet story.”
Kellie Pickler’s CMT docu-comedy series I Love Kellie Pickler, is about to wrap it’s third-season, with her and her husband’s “sweet and silly shenanigans” (Entertainment Tonight) continuing the show’s successful streak of high ratings.
