Country music duo Sugarland has reunited and fans are eager to enjoy their new music! The pair’s comeback single “Still the Same” drops in full on December 21st. Until then, enjoy the snippet below!
After going on hiatus in 2013 to pursue solo careers, it’s great to see Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush come back together as Sugarland! During the 2017 CMA Awards in November, the two artists surprised viewers by presenting the ‘Vocal Duo of the Year’ award and also hinted at a possible Sugarland reboot while onstage.
The next day, the artists confirmed the rumors by dropping a press release revealing that Sugarland will be unveiling new music in 2018.
“The thing is, we have each been doing so many fun and wonderful things on our own, but I also feel like from a timing perspective it’s like, ‘Okay, let’s get back together and see what we have to offer to this project now,’” Nettles explained to PEOPLE. “We’ll continue to float in and out of those two realms between Sugarland and in our own stuff at this point.”
“Well, you have seen on a lot of the posts that we’ve done #StillTheSame and I think the message that we are sending with that is, look, we’ve been doing all these wonderful things that have helped us grow as individuals and as artists, and yet we’re still the same Sugarland that you love,” she continued. “Sugarland has a specific sound and I feel like people are really connected to that, so I’m excited about getting to provide that sound, too.”
In addition to a new album, Sugarland will also be going on tour in 2018. Watch the pair play their 2003 debut single, “Baby Girl,” live and acoustically on The Bobby Bones Show below!
“Baby Girl” Lyrics
They say this town
The stars stay up all night
Don’t know, can’t see ’em
For the glow of the neon lights
And it’s a long way from here
To the place where the home fires burn
Well, it’s two thousand miles and one left turn
Dear Mom and Dad,
Please send money, I’m so broke that it ain’t funny.
I don’t need much just enough to get me through.
Please don’t worry cause I’m alright
I’m playing here at the bar tonight.
This time I’m gonna make our dreams come true
Well I love you more than anything in the world.
Love,
Your baby girl
Black top, blue sky
Big town full of little white lies
Everybody’s your friend, you can never be sure
They promise fancy cars and diamond rings
All sorts of shiny things
Girl, you’ll remember what your knees are for
Dear Mom and Dad,
Please send money, I’m so broke that it ain’t funny.
I don’t need much just enough to get me through.
Please don’t worry cause I’m alright
I’m playing here at the bar tonight.
This time I’m gonna make our dreams come true
Well I love you more than anything in the world.
Love,
Your baby girl
I know that I’m on my way
I can tell every time I play
And I know it’s worth all the dues I pay
When I can write to you and say
Dear Mom and Dad,
I’ll send money, I’m so rich that it ain’t funny
It ought ta be more than enough to get you through
Please don’t worry cause I’m alright
I’m staying here at the Ritz tonight
What ta ya know we made our dreams come true!
And there are fancy cars and diamond rings
But you know that they don’t mean a thing
They all add up to nothing compared to you
Well, remember me in ribbons and curls
I still love you more than anything in the world.
Love,
Your baby girl
Baby girl
Baby girl
