The big three. Today, Lainey Wilson released a new song today called “Phone, Keys, Wallet,” which features special guest in a name you probably know, John Mayer, on guitar. It marks the first time they’ve collaborated on a song, but Lainey did appear as a guest on his SiriusXM radio not long ago.
Written by Lainey with Kid Harpoon, Jon Decious, Dan Pellarin, Dallas Wilson, Trannie Anderson and Summer Overstreet, it finds her rushing around, trying to get out of the house, and when everything gets too overwhelming, she remembers that all she needs are Jesus, Jones, her mom, phone, wallet, keys and her lover, which I’m assuming was implied to be her now-husband, Duck, whom she just married several weeks ago:
“When I’m 10 minutes late
Rushing like a hurricane through the house
Might leave the iron plugged in
But I got the surefires ironed out
Can’t fit ’em all in my pocket
But I got a little list of go-tos
And that’s Jesus, Jones, Mama
My phone, keys, wallet, and you”
Lainey says she feels like a “tornado with boots on” through a lot of her busy life and career, and this song is about finding someone who can live in that chaos with you:
“I feel like a tornado with boots on half the time, and this song is really about finding somebody who’s okay with that chaos and chooses to love you through it anyway.”
Of course, John Mayer is an incredible guitarist, so having him on the production side of things is a fun addition too. “Phone, Keys, Wallet” follows Wilson’s recent releases “Younger You,” a collaboration with Miley Cyrus, and “Can’t Sit Still,” and I have to imagine the latter is part of some sort of forthcoming project along with this new single, which is officially her next single at country radio.
She also came up with a very sultry cover photo for the song which pays tribute to her most famous asset (pun very much intended):
