Country music group Lady Antebellum has revealed a second track, “Pictures,” from their forthcoming album due later this year. Following the record’s lead Top 25-and-climbing single “What If I Never Get Over You,” which already boasts over 45 million streams, the new track written by Dave Haywood, Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott, Sarah Buxton, and Corey Crowder confesses to less-than-picture-worthy memories while looking back on a relationship. Watch a Lady Antebellum “Pictures” live performance below!
Lady Antebellum “Pictures” Live Performance
“We live in a world right now, especially with social media, where everyone’s lives can look happy and pretty,” Lady A’s Hillary Scott shares in a statement. “We wrote this song to reflect on the reality that things are more complex than that. As good as something might look in brief moments, there are so many layers to who people really are and what’s really going on. I love the juxtaposition of how this song’s lyrics dig in while feeling laid-back and groovy.”
Lady Antebellum “Pictures” Lyric Video
Lady Antebellum “Pictures” Lyrics
Ooh
There’s a four by six of a sunset kiss
And one of you laughing at me catching my first fish
One on Valentine’s Day
With a mariachi band at our favorite place
Yeah, we sure looked happy in pictures
The camera doesn’t show the way it hurts
No, that ain’t the way I remember it happening
In between the flashes it was sad, it was tragic
Yeah, we sure looked happy in pictures
There’s one on my phone that I can’t erase
But you’d never know by the smile on my face
That inside I was dying, later that night I’d be crying
The last one before goodbye
Yeah, we sure looked happy in pictures
The camera doesn’t show the way it hurts
No, that ain’t the way I remember it happening
In between the flashes it was sad, it was tragic
Yeah, we sure looked happy in pictures
Oh, oh
No photo evidence, not a single proof
Of all the hell that we went through
But, damn we sure looked happy in pictures
The camera doesn’t show the way it hurts
No, that ain’t the way I remember it happening
In between the flashes it was sad, it was tragic
Yeah, we sure looked happy in pictures
So happy, so happy in pictures, yes we did
Yeah, we sure looked happy in pictures
So happy, so happy in pictures
