Diane - Cam

Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay is a live acoustic version of Cam's new single 'Diane' recorded on a recent Bobby Bones show. It is an answer song to Dolly Parton's very famous and classic 'Jolene'. It is co-written by Cam with her "Burning House" collaborators, Grammy-winning producer of the Year Jeff Bhasker (Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars) and Grammy nominee Tyler Johnson. 

Cam notes the song is, "[My] response to Dolly Parton's 'Jolene.' It's the apology so many spouses deserve, but never get. The other woman is coming forward to break the news to the wife about an affair, respecting her enough to have that hard conversation, once she realized he was married. Because everyone should be able to decide their own path in life, based on the truth. Women especially should do this for each other, since our self-worth can still be so wrapped up in our partners. And in true country fashion, I've set the whole raw story to upbeat music, so you can dance while you process it all."
