Lainey Wilson Drops A Banger From A New Song With 'Hang Tight Honey'

Lainey Wilson tells her lover to relax a little more and she's coming home soon in her new song “Hang Tight Honey.”

With elements of her own autobiography, the song opens with Wilson recalling how she took a bus “to get a house/cause that's what dreams do.” In other words, she's a street dog and damn if a relationship is going to keep her off the stage. But that doesn't mean she doesn't wish for her husband: “While this six-chord is calling my name/Baby, I'll miss yours.”

“Hang Tight Honey” is the second track released from Wilson's upcoming new album, Tornado. Announced last week, the record, out Aug. 23, was recorded with Wilson's live band, and there's an energy to the songs that only comes from touring together. (Check out the ripping solo that ties “Hang Tight Honey” together.)

Tornadoproduced by Jay Joyce, it is Wilson's third for BBR Music Group and follows the Grammy-winning Bell Bottom Country. Last week, the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year also announced her own Nashville bar, Bell Bottoms Up, opening this summer. On Thursday, she will perform at the 2024 ACM Awards in Frisco, Texas, and also compete for Artist of the Year and Female Artist of the Year, among other categories.
