Lainey Wilson: ‘Everybody Is Wanting To Be A Cowboy’
Lainey Wilson believes being country has always been cool, and when she releases her new song on Friday (2/16), “Country’s Cool Again,” she will sing about it.
When we chatted with Lainey recently, she told us her thoughts on country music today. She said, “I’m excited to be part of this generation of country music. I think everybody sounds different; everybody looks different. You know who it is when they come on the radio, and to me, that’s what it was like in the nineties. You just knew who it was; they’ve got their own thing going.”
Wilson knows what helped bring back the cowboy way of life, saying, “I think Yellowstone has had a big part of the Western way of life becoming cool again. In my opinion, it should’ve never not been cool, and it’s truly just the way that I was raised. But it does seem like everybody is wanting to be a cowboy.”
She added, “It probably has to do with people craving that grounded feeling and wanting to feel like they’re at home. That’s what country music is right there. It’s songs that take you back and make you feel at home… make you feel like that warm hug.”
Lainey concluded, “I think there is something in the air right now that is undeniable.”

Wilson recently posted a a video clip of her recording the new song in the recording studio on her Instagram.
In the video, Lainey is wearing a denim shirt and a Judd’s ball cap. The chorus of the song sings, “Everybody wanna be a cowboy / Drive a John boat whip a John Deere / Everybody wanna a backwoods front porch with a tub full of ice cold beer / Must be something in water flowing out of the holler blue collar must have caught a new wind / Doggone Daggum didn’t see that coming country’s cool again.”
Wilson captioned the post, “Country isn’t just a genre for me or for any of us that live and breathe it every single day. It’s a way of life. It’s always been cool, and I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re just glad it’s gettin’ a lil more recognition and love these days.”
She added, “Welcome to the party, cowgirls and cowboys. Country’s Cool Again will be out on February 16. Can’t wait to share it with y’all!”
