RaeLynn debuted the ballad that serves as a heartfelt letter to her younger self on Friday (March 15). The Texas-born singer-songwriter previously delivered an acoustic rendition of âFunny Girlâ on Instagram, and itâs since been a widely-demanded anthem as her fans awaited the release date. RaeLynn opens the song:
âFunny girl, howâve you been?/ Iâve been you, girl, since I was 10/ Funny girl, keep cracking jokes/ When sh*t gets real, thatâs all youâll know/ The life of the party, tonightâs entertainment, a clear sky when the paradeâs raining/ Yeah, I know youâre mad at where youâre at/ Gettinâ jealous of your friends/ Riding shotgun seat to the homecoming queen with a label on your back/ But youâre sweeter/ Hell, youâre tougher/ Take it from me, youâll be a good mother and youâll find a man and damn youâll rock his world/ Life ainât mean, itâs just funny, girl.â
In January, the Voice alum confirmed that her third full-length studio album is in the works as she played a rendition of âFunny Girlâ for the first time. RaeLynnâs most recent full-length album is BAYTOWN, a 14-track project titled as a nod to her Texas hometown. She paid tribute to her beginnings again with âI Love My Hometown,â which made its debut on a 2-track collection that also included âIf God Took Days Off.â Since then, sheâs also released âRaisinâ Me A Country Girlâ â a tribute to her daughter, Daisy Rae, who was born shortly before BAYTOWN released in September 2021 â âWhatâs Wrong With That?,â and other songs.
