Lainey Wilson has a new single out, and she brought serious firepower along. “Phone, Keys, Wallet” is out now, featuring John Mayer on guitar, via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Wilson wrote it during the final leg of the Whirlwind World Tour and recorded it at Mayer’s Chaplin Studios in Los Angeles. The track leans into the messy, fast-moving parts of life and celebrates the person who chooses to love her through all of it. It’s a warm, irresistibly charming cut.
The inspiration is pure Wilson. “I feel like a tornado with boots on half the time, and this song is really about finding somebody who’s okay with that chaos and chooses to love you through it anyway,” she shares. Mayer’s guitar work gives the whole thing extra shine, and the pairing clicks right away.
The single follows Wilson’s recent releases “Younger You,” a collaboration with Miley Cyrus, and “Can’t Sit Still.” It adds to another monumental year for the Louisiana native, who headlined Stagecoach with an electric set and is the subject of the new Netflix documentary ‘Lainey Wilson: Keepin’ Country Cool’. She recently kicked off a run of stadium shows with Chris Stapleton that continues through the summer, and made her film acting debut this spring in Universal’s adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s ‘Reminders of Him’. The track also follows ‘Whirlwind Deluxe’, which added five songs including her No. 1 single “Somewhere Over Laredo.”
