Gunpowder and Lead
The country singer’s first top 10 hit single Gunpowder and Lead tells a story about a woman who is sitting with a gun and waiting for her abusive man to come home from jail. The song was inspired by the abused women that Lambert’s family would take in, in particular, one woman who came in crying with a black eye.
Some people are like, Ugh! I can’t believe she’s singing that! And it’s meant to be taken light-hearted in some aspects, but this song is also very real to me … When I was younger, my parents took in abused women and their kids, so I saw first-hand what damage it can do to a family to be in an abusive relationship.
Small Town Southern Man
Jackson releases his single, Small Town Southern Man, from his album, Good Time. Jackson:
I think sometimes you sit down and try to write something and think, ‘Well, this may make a good single,’ and you’re trying to do something for your career. But most of the time, I write what comes out or I have ideas I’ve scribbled down over the past year or two. I had Small Town Southern Man written down, and I’ll just pick that up and start writing it. I don’t know that I sit down and try to designate each song for something special. Just write each one and pick the ones you like. I’ve always tried to mix it up on an album where there’s some up-tempo things and some mid-tempo kind of cool songs – some real love ballads that are pretty. Heavy broken-heart songs and drinking songs and just a little of everything. You know, that’s kind of the way country music’s always been.
All-American Girl
The artist releases, All-American Girl, from, Carnival Ride.
Years ago I got together with a voice coach briefly and I hated it, because I felt like they tried to change things that, like, would make me me, you know? There’s been a lot of growth over the past two years. I think I sound different now. I’ve gotten a lot more practice and everything’s just gotten easier. Like, notes that I could barely hit for the first album – like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is gonna kill me’ – are a piece of cake now. We’re on to new notes now that are way in the stratosphere. On All-American Girl, the high note is the highest I’ve ever hit.
Helpless When She Smiles
The band releases their single, Helpless When She Smiles, from Unbreakable. McLean:
It’s the epitome of, you know, Backstreet Boys. I mean, great harmonies, it’s a great song, great love song. It’s timeless. And I think it’s just one of those songs that will be around forever.
Long Road To Ruin
The band releases Long Road To Ruin, from Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace.
Radar
Spears releases her single, Radar, from her album, Blackout. Director Dave Meyers about Spears:
She was in a really good head-space and open to trying new things, and I wanted to try some new things with her too. It kind of was a great celebration of trusting one another. … Now we’re sort of both seasoned in our own rights, so it’s like two people coming back together, trying to do something fresh and new … seeking out an actual different technique and stylistic choices and trying to find a form to celebrate them in.
Won’t Go Home Without You
Maroon 5 releases the single, Won’t Go Home Without You, from their album, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long. Adam Levine:
It’s about desperately trying to impress a girl and doing everything I could to make her listen to me.

about living every moment as if it’s your last. Because if it’s our last time to say, ‘I love you,’ then let it be that we didn’t forget that.
Till We Ain’t Strangers Anymore

Tabloid Junkie
Jackson releases Tabloid Junkie, the eleventh track from his ninth album HIStory. The song chronicles Jackson’s tarnished public reputation from what it once was and it also tells of how the public quickly believe the headlines. In Jackson’s most recent albums, this has been an ongoing subject written both blatantly and passively.
Remember, the press is a business: Newspapers and magazines are in business to make money – sometimes at the expense of accuracy, fairness and even the truth.
It’s Alright To Be A Redneck

Letter To Me
The artist releases Letter To Me, from, 5th Gear.
There’s a line in the song that says, ‘And you should really thank Mrs. Brinkman.’ She was – and still is – the speech teacher at John Marshall High School. She told me, ‘You have to take this class. When you get up with a guitar you’re fine. But you need to know how to talk in any situation to a group of people if you really want to do this for a living.’ It was a pivotal time in my life.
Hometown Glory
The artist releases Hometown Glory, from her album, 19. The singer says the lyrics of the track are partly inspired by a drunken stagger home after a night out in London:
I was really pissed, wobbling all over the place. This French woman comes up to me and goes, You need help, dar-leeeng? And I went, Nah, it’s me hometown, luv.

No One
The artist releases her single, No One, from her album, As I Am.
No One is really talking about the way that in relationships, so many things are around you all the time to try to distract you. And even though people may talk and say whatever they may want to say, but then no one can get in the way of this.
Shiftwork
