Country music hit-maker Brett Young‘s “Lady” is a heartfelt love letter to his daughter Presley and wife Taylor Mills Young. The star wrote the song with Ross Copperman and Jon Nite shortly before his first child’s birth in October 2019. Watch Young’s live performance at The Ryman below!

“‘Lady’ is easily one of the most special songs I’ve ever written,” Young shared in a statement. “I always knew I would want to write songs for my children, but didn’t realize the inspiration would come so quickly before my daughter was even born. It’s a message to Presley about her mom and it became a pretty obvious choice for my first single in a new chapter of music. It’s so meaningful to Taylor and I, and I hope it resonates in a similar way for anyone who listens.”
Brett Young’s “Lady” — Story Behind the Song
“Lady” Lyrics
I remember when I first heard your heartbeat
It had only been eight weeks
Standing there, starin’ at that screen was the
First time you ever scared me
God knows I don’t know
Exactly what I’m doin’, but
Good news, we got her to get through it
I hope you look just like your momma
And love her like I do
You’ll see close to perfect patience
If you watch her every move
You can always run to daddy
You’ll always be my baby, but
Look at her, baby girl
And you’ll learn
How to be a lady
Just how to be a lady
Mmh-mmh
I can make ya laugh till you cry
But she can make your tears dry, and
When you get your heart broke by the wrong guy
She can make it right
I hope you look just like your momma
And love her like I do
You’ll see close to perfect patience
If you watch her every move
You can always run to daddy
You’ll always be my baby, but
Look at her, baby girl
And you’ll learn
How to be a lady
Mmh-mmh
Just how to be a lady
Oh-oh
She’ll hear you
She’ll hold you
She’ll help you through
She’ll fix you
And me too
I hope you look just like your momma
And love her like I do
You’ll see close to perfect patience
If you watch her every move
You can always run to daddy
You’ll always be my baby, but
Look at her, baby girl
And you’ll learn
How to be a lady
Just how to be a lady
