Carly Pearce is opening up about one of her most personal songs yet. The country star’s newest track “Happy For Myself” finds her tapping into a true story and very real emotions while offering another preview of her upcoming album, Honest Woman, set to arrive August 28.
The tender tune, penned by Pearce alongside Lauren Hungate, Jordan Reynolds and Emily Weisband, tells the story of a milestone moment that was supposed to be filled with joy and happiness but unexpectedly brought a flood of emotions Pearce wasn’t prepared for.
She sings about her friend inviting her to go engagement ring shopping, wanting a second opinion on if she should get a platinum or yellow gold band. While helping her friend make such a meaningful decision, Pearce reveals the quiet inner struggle of ignoring the lump in her throat and putting her own feelings aside to be fully present for someone else.
Set against delicate guitar strums and stripped-down production, the song allows Pearce’s vulnerable vocals to take center stage as she wrestles with the complicated emotions behind wanting to celebrate someone else’s happiness while also longing for her own. At the heart of the track lies the deeply honest question: “When do I get to be happy for myself?”
“And I waited to cry ’til I got in my car Oh, how can good news be so damn hard? It’s not that I’m not happy for everyone else But when do I get to be happy for myself,” Pearce sings on the powerful chorus.
Because of the sheer vulnerability of the narrative that came from a real-life moment, Pearce says “Happy for Myself” is a track that she feels “really connected to.”
“I never imagined the feelings that would come up for me in that moment, but that kind of overwhelming feeling of envy for what she had…I think comparison is something that, especially as women, no matter what it is, a baby, an engagement, wedding, success, all of the things, it can really get at you. And I think that song is a new level of vulnerability for me,” she admitted to Country Now.
The new song arrives just a few weeks before fans can get their hands on the entire 16-track project. Co-produced by the GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM Award-winning artist with longtime collaborator Ben West, Honest Woman is expected to find Pearce “embrace every aspect of who she was, is, and will become.” The collection includes features with Riley Green, Dan Tyminski and Molly Tuttle.
To mark the arrival of Honest Woman, the “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay” singer will celebrate with a special album release performance at the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday, August 29.
She will then hit the road for her “Honest Woman: Up Close” live shows, presented by Conundrum Wines, bringing intimate performances to cities across North America. The run begins September 10 with a two-night run in Detroit and will continue through Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Toronto, and Boston before concluding with two nights in New York City.

Jackson Dean and his longtime love Shannon Miscoll have tied the knot! The country singer and his other half shared the exciting news with fans through a joint social media post featuring a carousel of stunning photos from their wedding day.
The couple stepped into their next chapter together against a breathtaking mountain backdrop, with Shannon looking stunning in a timeless white gown featuring a long, elegant train. Dean stepped away from his signature stage style for the occasion, wearing a classic suit with a vest and no wide-brimmed hat in sight.
The post featured a simple but heartfelt caption from Dean that read, “My wife.”
While Dean has kept much of his personal life private over the years, he has recently started to share more about his relationship with Shannon publicly. He previously revealed to Country Now that they met when he was playing a gig at Nashville’s Basement East around October of 2023, and the rest was history. They announced their engagement on January 3, 2026, sharing photos from the romantic proposal in the woods.
“Forever with you 🤍 i can’t wait to be your wife @thejacksondean,” Shannon wrote.
Shannon has also played a meaningful role in Dean’s music career. The singer revealed that she was the muse behind his latest album, Magnolia Sage.
“We saw each other across the room. The way we got hooked up, she was like, ‘We should have a glass of wine or something sometime.’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ That happened, and she opened the door, and I think that was it,” he recalled.
Shannon is often by Jackson Dean’s side, whether joining him on the road or enjoying breathtaking natural landscapes together. Their latest post was filled with congratulatory messages as they begin their next chapter as husband and wife.
Amid this celebratory moment, Jackson Dean is still busy with a full schedule of shows on the books through the remainder of the year. This weekend he will take the stage at the Winkler Harvest Festival in Winkler, Manitoba before making his way across Wisconsin, Michigan, Kentucky, Alabama, Canada, and more.
