"How Dare Me" dives into Rachel's experience stopping herself before taking a risk and falling in love. The song paints a picture of the fear before the feelings, and how keeping a wall up can impact a relationship. The classic country instrumentals and melodic vocals share a story of hesitancy in romance, leading to a decision that love is worth the pain.

Rachel said, “I loved this song as soon as I heard it. Dan Tyminski was one of the writers on this song, and he actually recorded a song with Union Station that my grandfather wrote years ago. I thought that the connection was so cool for me to be able to record a song that Dan wrote! This song really describes what it feels like when you begin to fall in love with someone, maybe a little too soon. It describes the excitement that comes with that and is a catchy song that also hits you in the heart!”  

Rachel Holt clears space in a crowded room with her moving vocals and artful lyrics. The release of "How Dare Me" sets apart her small but impactful discography.
