Produced by Brandon Hood and co-written with hitmakers Jessi Alexander and Paul Sikes, “The Fence” pairs Emily Ann’s unmistakable vocals with striking honesty and emotional depth. Her gift for storytelling shines brighter than ever, making this one of her most powerful releases to date—a track that promises to give listeners chills with every play. The song has already struck a chord with fans, earning over 1 million views on social media ahead of its official release.

“Sometimes in love everything makes sense on paper, but no matter how hard you try to convince yourself, you know deep down it’s just not the right fit. When I wrote this song with Jessi Alexander and Paul Sikes we put ourselves in the moment of trying to tell yourself it’s perfect and then fighting with the fears and doubts that it may not be,” said Emily Ann. 

"That is the kind of song that will put you where you've always wanted to be. To see your dreams come true. That is wonderful." - Bill Cody, WSM 650 AM/Grand Ole Opry

He’s sippin that Kentucky

Staring at the setting sun

One part of me feels lucky one part wants to run

When he hears the tin roof raining

I feel a restless wind

There's a good man on the porch

And I’m on the fence

This release follows a breakthrough year for Roberts, whose singles“Scratching Out a Living” and “Easy Does It” earned praise from US Weekly, SiriusXM’s The Highway, and CMT Hot 20 Countdown’s Heatseeker, among others. She recently shared the stage with country heavyweights including Blake Shelton, Cody Johnson, Megan Moroney, and Clint Black.

“Scratching Out A Living” is an upbeat, high-energy country anthem that honors the hardworking women who grind every day to make a living. Produced by the iconic Mac McAnally, the track combines bluegrass influences with a contemporary flair, resulting in a sound that feels both classic and modern. With its relatable lyrics and compelling melody, the song is sure to have listeners singing, dancing, and connecting to the shared experience of balancing life's daily challenges.

“My mom and dad used to always say they were scratching out a living when we were growing up. They worked so hard to provide for me and my sister and taught me that if you want something you have to work for it. I’ve learned that lesson in a big way the past 10 years pursuing my dreams in country music. When I wrote this song with Shane Minor I wanted it to feel like the to-do list of all the things you have to check off throughout a work day. I later wrote the chorus with two of my band members, Torey Harding and Jordan Larsen, while we were on the road. Mac McAnally produced the fire out of this track and brought the song to life in such a cool way. I know the hard working folks will relate to it!” said Emily Ann Roberts. 

Boss keeps a screaming
The phone won’t stop a ringing
Working like a farm truck
But nothings ever good enough
Gotta get some me time
Don’t need another frown line
I’d Johnny paycheck Em fast
But lord knows I need the cash
hands on clock are barely even ticking
Scratching out a living

The release of the single also kicks off an exciting wave of performances and upcoming tour dates, with Roberts ready to bring her dynamic sound to audiences across the country. Emily Ann Roberts is undoubtedly one of country music's most promising young stars, and "Scratching Out A Living" solidifies her as a force to be reckoned with.
