Trisha Yearwood Reveals Her Powerful Message To Her Younger Self

Trisha Yearwood shared how the title track of her upcoming album is the ultimate letter to her younger self. The iconic country star released “The Mirror” on Friday (June 27).

Yearwood teamed up with Leslie Satcher and Bridgette Tatum the song, and with Chad Carlson to produce it. The empowering anthem “tells a moving story of embracing one’s worth, resilience, and beauty,” reads a press release announcing the song’s debut, noting that “The Mirror” also “captures the journey of rediscovering the strength within and seeing yourself in a new light.”

“I feel like a lot of the songs on this record are letters to my younger self. The Mirror is absolutely that,” Yearwood said in a statement in the release. “In my experience we, as women, are so hard on ourselves. We pick ourselves apart. But have you ever passed yourself in a mirror and, not realizing it was you, thought, ‘She looks strong, or confident’—something you’d never say about yourself? That thought inspired the song: about reaching a place where you talk to yourself like a best friend, not your worst enemy.”

Yearwood’s 15-track album is “different from all the others” in her career. The Mirror marks the first time the Georgia-born country star co-wrote every song on the project, she confirmed when she announced its release date earlier this year. The Mirror will release on July 18. Listen to the title track here:
