Rising country music stars HARDY and Lainey Wilson have teamed up for a new dark country ballad called “Wait In The Truck.”

This track, the pair’s first collaboration, tells a tale of domestic abuse and murder.

“Well, she was bruised and broke from head to toe / With a tear in her blood-stained shirt / She didn’t tell the whole truth / But she didn’t have to I knew what had happened to her / I didn’t load her down with questions / That girl had been through enough / I just threw it in drive / Looked in those eyes/ And asked her where he was,” HARDY sings.

The song was co-penned by HARDY along with Hunter Phelps, Jordan Schmidt and Renee Blair. Joey Moi produced the track with co-production from HARDY, Derek Wells, and Schmidt.

“‘wait in the truck,’ my next single, is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written – probably the best song I’ve ever written to be honest,” HARDY said. “It hit me so hard the first time I heard the demo back, and no other song had done that before. Very excited for the world to hear the song, excited for the song to give people a platform to maybe speak out about stuff that might be going on in their own homes.”

He added, “Thank you to Lainey Wilson for doing this song with me – she crushed it, she crushed the music video, I just can’t wait for the world to see this and I can’t wait to play it live.”
