She was struggling with finding just the right title for the album, that is until her mom told her a sweet story about her grandmother.

"I was talking to my mom and she was telling me about this poem that my grandmother wrote about her and it was titled, WildHorse. She was talking about how she is the good kind of crazy. And I was like, oh, my God. How cool would it be to title my album, WildHorse? I'm a wild horse."

After that RaeLynn wrote the song "WildHorse" to complete the album.

The album also includes her current single "Love Triangle," which is a song she wrote when she was 18 and says the fan response has been incredible. She says so many fans have told her stories about their own "Love Triangle" and not all of them involve divorced parents. 

"Everyone's story is so different. To finally get this song out to the fans and to see the response, and it be so positive and it be a healing song for all these people just like it was for me - is really incredible."

The album was produced by Jimmy Robbins and Nicolle Galyon, and tells the story of RaeLynn’s life following her breakthrough on The Voice – four years that have seen her move to Nashville, release hit songs like “God Made Girls,” and get married. Full of personal touches, RaeLynn co-wrote 11 of the album’s 12 songs.
