Lainey Wilson releases “Can’t Sit Still” today via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, and the title is an understatement. Written by Wilson, Trannie Anderson, Aslan Freeman, and Dallas Wilson, the track arrives as a snapshot of a superstar in perpetual motion, restless energy captured on tape during one of the most active stretches of her already decorated career. It lands with the same directness and vitality that has made Wilson the reigning force in country music.
The single is one piece of a much larger moment. Wilson makes her film acting debut today in Universal’s adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him, was recently named one of USA Today’s 2026 Women of the Year, and is the subject of a new documentary, Lainey Wilson: Keepin’ Country Cool, premiering at SXSW next week and arriving on Netflix April 22. She will also perform at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 26, where she is nominated for Country Artist of the Year and Favorite Tour Tradition.
Variety called Wilson “the reigning current standard-bearer for women in country,” and the numbers back it up. She hosted the 59th CMA Awards as the first solo female host since Reba McEntire in 1991, won Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and Album of the Year for ‘Whirlwind’ at that same ceremony, and has scored nine number one hits including “Watermelon Moonshine,” “Wildflowers And Wild Horses,” and the 2x Platinum “Heart Like A Truck.” She is a Grand Ole Opry member, a prolific collaborator, and recently launched her fifth Wrangler collection alongside her own boot and jewelry lines.
Wilson just wrapped the final leg of her Whirlwind World Tour and keeps moving, with headline sets at Stagecoach, JazzFest, and Windy City Smokeout ahead, plus stadium dates with Chris Stapleton running through August.
