She appeared on Songland on NBC, where she was presented with four new songs, and she worked with panelists Ryan Tedder, Ester Dean, and Shane McAnally, all of which assisted her to make her final choice. While all of the song choices were strong, the one that won McBride over was “Girls Like Me.”
Her song’s music video was directed by John Shearer and it was filmed while social distancing. It has a warm and positive message that will resonate well with her fans and listeners, especially the young girls out there.
The song was originally co-penned by Songland songwriter Halie (Wooldridge) and her brother, recording artist Michael Tyler, as well as Dan Swank, and Lexi Lauren. She was paired with acclaimed producer and Songland panelist Ester Dean, and the result is magical. The single was co-produced by McBride and Nathan Chapman.
Most impressive about the song is that Halie wrote it from a young woman’s perspective, and McBride has sung it from the viewpoint of a person that has already been down that road. It has a reassuring and empowering vibe to it.
