BAILEY
JAMES TURNS HEARTBREAK INTO HORSEPOWER ON COMEBACK SINGLE "I
HATE CHEVROLETS"
(15
April 2025; Nashville, TN): Nashville country-soul powerhouse Bailey
James has release her new single "I Hate Chevrolets"
(written Bailey James & Hit Songwriter Mark Irwin)
With
every note, James paints the picture of a woman torn between denial and
heartbreak, watching the taillights of a Chevy carry her love away — again and
again. The lyrics cut deep: “If I keep saying that it’s just a car
maybe / I can save a little piece of my heart.” But it’s clear that
the problem isn’t just the truck — it’s the man behind the wheel.
The
chorus is as anthemic as it is bitter: “I hate Chevrolets / Hate the
way they sound / Driving down the road to the other side of town.” The
repetition of that line drives home the song’s underlying truth — sometimes,
it’s easier to blame the getaway car than the one who keeps leaving.
James’
vocal delivery is both vulnerable and resolute, soaring over a melody that
blends classic country heartbreak with a modern edge. It’s a song for anyone
who’s ever sat in the passenger seat of love, only to watch the driver head in
the wrong direction.
With
“I Hate Chevrolets,” Bailey James doesn’t just give us a
breakup song — she gives us a beautifully crafted, steel-belted country lament
that turns heartbreak into something you can sing at the top of your lungs. One
thing’s for sure: after hearing this song, you may never look at a Chevy the
same way again.
ABOUT
Bailey
James is
already making serious noise as one of the most exciting emerging voices in
country music. With over 275,000 followers across her social
media platforms, multiple hit singles, and a Top 40 Music Row single,
she’s quickly become a rising force in Nashville. Her music has earned praise
from CMT, PEOPLE, Whiskey Riff, Rolling
Stone, and Hollywood Life, and her voice — both in song and
advocacy — is turning heads for all the right reasons.
At
just 21 years old, James' career spans nearly a decade. She released her first
single at the age of 12 and has since built a body of work rich in
authenticity, emotion, and strength.
She’s tackled tough topics like grief,
self-worth, and mental health with powerful candor, becoming a beacon for young
fans navigating similar challenges. Her breakout single “Finally Free” landed
at #42 on the Billboard charts and was named the Opry
Circle Release of the Week — marking a turning point in her artistry.
That same year, she launched The Finally Free Movement, a
mental health and suicide prevention initiative created in honor of her late
brother Zane.
A
standout performer, Bailey has graced the stages of iconic venues including
the Bluebird Café, 3rd and Lindsley, The
Listening Room, and more. She’s also become a regular act at the
beloved Whiskey Jam series and a featured performer on WSM,
home of the Grand Ole Opry radio station.
James
is a proud member of the all-female Song Suffragettes collective
and the winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for her
single and video “Better Angels.” As the first-ever National Youth
Advocate for The Jason Foundation, she continues to use her platform to
raise awareness around suicide prevention — a mission that’s deeply personal.
Her
latest release, “I Hate Chevrolets,” is further proof that Bailey James is an
artist with something to say — and a voice that cuts through the noise. Whether
she's singing about heartbreak or healing, Bailey brings a rare kind of
emotional gravity to everything she touches. One of the hardest-working young
artists in the industry, she’s not just chasing the spotlight — she’s building
a legacy.
