Mickey Guyton continues to show different sides of her artistry and journey, with the singles released from her forthcoming debut album – Remember Her Name – out 24th September. Now, she has released her new track ‘Love My Hair,’ out everywhere today.
Capitol Nashville’s Mickey Guyton has released new track, “Love My Hair” from her forthcoming debut album Remember Her Name out September 24. Written by Mickey with Anna Krantz, the personal “Love My Hair” continues the theme of self-acceptance and embracing differences that is a thread throughout Remember Her Name.
If I could go back to twelve
I would tell myself
That straight up or down
Baby, that’s your crown
Whoever made up those rules
They don’t apply to you
Straight up or down
Turn the world around
“I wrote ‘Love My Hair’ after seeing a video of a little Black girl who was sent home from school because she was told that her hair was too distracting,” shares Mickey. “Seeing this young girl’s embarrassment and agony brought me back to my own struggles with self-love and I wanted to write a song to this little girl facing adversity because of what God gave her. I want her and anyone facing similar struggles to feel seen.” The track continues to show Guyton as an artist with full command of her own artistry and vision, with superb results.
Mickey earned her first ever CMA nomination yesterday for New Artist of the Year, adding to the incredible year that has seen her co-hosting the 56th Academy of Country Music Awards in April with labelmate Keith Urban, a historic performance and nomination for “Black Like Me” on the 63rd GRAMMY Awards in March and “Black Like Me” being named a Top 5 song of 2020 (all genre) by NPR and The Associated Press.

Over the last year she has been featured in American Songwriter, BBC News, CBS This Morning, Disney+ Turning the Tables with Robin Roberts, Ebony, Elle, Entertainment Weekly, Essence, HITS, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Los Angeles Times, New York Magazine’s Vulture, New York Times, PEOPLE, Pollstar, Rolling Stone, Today Show, USA Today, Variety, VIBE, Vogue, Washington Post and many more.
