Courtney Hadwin became famous at 13 on America’s Got Talent. Her first tryout went viral quickly, prompting comparisons of her voice to Janis Joplin. Now she is releasing her own music. Her single, “D.N.A.,” released on May 16, 2025, shows a wilder, more fun side of her musical style.
“D.N.A.” is a high-energy funk song she wrote with a Grammy-winning producer. It is not a typical pop song because it is full of fun and lacks a clear structure. Courtney uses loud shouts and explosive singing to match the music’s chaotic, party feel. This original track will be on her first album, Little Miss Jagged.

Fans are pleased to hear her own songs after following her since the TV show. The song “D.N.A.” is all about the funny, intense feeling of having a big crush. It is a change from the shy girl she used to be. It shows she is growing into an absolute star with her own unique sound.
The loud party song “D.N.A.” is excellent, but Courtney recently shared something very different. She gave a live performance of the song “Changes.” This new video shows a turning point in her music. It takes her away from the usual rock style and into something much quieter and focused on deep feeling.

In the “Changes” live cover, released on November 20, 2025, she sings a cover of the song by Black Sabbath. Her voice is much more controlled here. She is tender and very emotional as she sings about losing a friend and the heartbreak that follows. Fans loved seeing this calmer side, proving she can sing soft songs just as well as she can rock out.
Courtney Hadwin’s journey from a shy girl to a musician who writes her own songs is exciting to watch. Whether she sings a loud, funky original or a quiet, sad cover, her voice always feels honest and real. Follow Courtney Hadwin on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to keep up with her story.
