Multi-platinum country sensation Gabby Barrett continues her unstoppable rise with “The Easy Part,” out now via Warner Music Nashville. The powerful new single offers a thrilling glimpse into the next phase of Barrett’s career, brimming with emotion, grit, and pure vocal firepower.
“I enjoyed writing on this one. It captures that emotional moment when someone thinks leaving is ‘The Easy Part,’ but what they don’t realize is that the memory of who you were to them will be the hardest to forget. It’s not about encouraging walking away, but about the weight that love can carry even after it’s gone,” shares Barrett. “In some ways, it feels like a distant cousin to ‘I Hope.’ It’s a different kind of heartbreak, one that settles in slow and quiet.”
Written by Barrett, Zach Abend, Jon Nite, and Michael Hardy, “The Easy Part” marks a return to the fierce honesty that made her eight-time platinum breakout “I Hope” a #1 Billboard hit and one of the Top Hot Country Songs of the 21st Century. The new track opens with piercing vulnerability before exploding into a chorus that’s pure empowerment. Barrett’s voice soars over a rich mix of piano, banjo, and guitar, bringing raw emotion and defiance to every note.
Produced by Zach Kale, Zach Abend, and Ross Copperman, “The Easy Part” envelops listeners in a cinematic soundscape of moody textures and country soul. It’s a powerful showcase of Barrett’s songwriting evolution and her knack for weaving personal truths into universal anthems. Her artistry continues to transcend genres, blending traditional country storytelling with bold, contemporary production.
Currently lighting up stages across North America on her Life I’m Living Tour 2025, Barrett’s journey shows no sign of slowing. With hits like “The Good Ones,” “Pick Me Up,” and “I Hope” still resonating worldwide, “The Easy Part” cements her status as one of country music’s most compelling voices. The song’s release marks yet another high point in a career defined by courage, connection, and the power of staying true to yourself.
