In her live band performance of “LA,” Lainey Wilson spins a story uniquely her own. This isn’t the flashy, glamorous L.A. most people imagine, it’s her own down-home version: Louisiana, lower Alabama, and a life rooted deeply in authenticity rather than Hollywood glitz. In this song, she cleverly flips stereotypes upside down, effortlessly blending Southern grit with country charm, crafting something bold, refreshing and unmistakably real.
Lainey’s voice is filled with mischief and pride. She sings about redneck Hollywood and Dixie cups like a woman who knows exactly where she comes from and would not change a thing. Emotions like pride, humor, and quiet defiance ring clear. She is playful and serious all at once, giving space to the contradictions that make up her world. Her delivery says, “You might laugh, but this is home.”
Lainey Wilson – LA (Live Full Band Performance)
Fans love it. The comments are full of people saying “She’s one of us,” and thanking her for singing their lives out loud. Whether they are from small towns or big cities, they hear truth in her words. Lainey doesn’t try to sound polished, she tries to sound honest. And that honesty connects deeply, especially with fans who feel left out of mainstream definitions of success.
But if “LA” is about defining home, “Hang Tight Honey” performed live at CMA Fest 2024 is about leaving it behind without losing yourself. These two songs feel like a timeline: the first, a declaration of roots and the second is a powerful anthem of moving forward. Together, they tell the story of a woman chasing her dream and holding on tight to where she came from.

It’s a love letter to the life that made her.
Lainey Wilson’s power is her clarity about who she is, where she came from, and where she is headed. “LA” and “Hang Tight Honey” are songs that say: you do not have to become someone else to go somewhere new.
