PRODUCED BY BIG LOUD TEXAS CO-FOUNDERS MIRANDA LAMBERT AND JON RANDALL
TO PERFORM AT BMI’S ROOFTOP ON THE ROW SERIES THIS MONTH
NASHVILLE, TENN. / AUSTIN, TEXAS – Today, Big Loud Texas singer-songwriter Julianna Rankin delivers clever new song “XYZ71s.” Produced by Big Loud Texas co-founders Miranda Lambert and Jon Randall, listen here.
“’XYZ71s’ is a really special one to me,” shares Rankin. “It’s brilliantly written, undeniably catchy and the kind of song that gets under your skin, but in the best way. I haven’t stopped singing it since the day it found its way to me. As my first outside cut, I chose this song because I felt a deep and immediate connection to it, as if it had been sitting in my bones long before it ever found me. I’m so grateful to Jon, Chase, Micah and John for trusting me to bring it to life. I think it’s a song folks will see themselves in and won’t be able to help but sing along to.”
Rankin’s smoky vocals shine on the new track, adding to the powerhouse talent’s growing catalog.
“XYZ71s” was written by Jon Decious, Chase McGill, John Pierce and Micah Wilshire. A witty play on words about a Chevy Z71 truck, Rankin doubts her love interest is equipped for the job:
XYZ71s
Come with a rearview
Ask my XYZ71s
Ain’t how he rolls, no more
He’ll tell you
Memory lane is the only dang place
It’ll steer to
Ask my XYZ71s
