Mickey Guyton debuted her brand-new song “Somethin’ Bout You” on NBC’s TODAY Citi Concert Series on Friday (August 26th). Performing live from the TODAY show plaza in New York City, Guyton also sang fan-favorites “Rosé,” “Lay It On Me,” and “All American.”
Consequence of Sound notes, “Mickey Guyton often manages to capture all the things that make country music great,” and says her latest tune is “easy, breezy, and sweet…. three minutes of bliss,” while Rolling Stone says Guyton “celebrates human connection in an unabashed love song.”

“Somethin’ Bout You,” written by Guyton with Tyler Hubbard and David Garcia, serves as the first of three new songs expected this year from the Texas-native. The song follows Guyton’s groundbreaking, GRAMMY-contending debut album Remember Her Name. The critically acclaimed 16-song project was hailed by the Associated Press as “a powerful and personal debut,” while Guyton earned praise from NPR which noted, “[Guyton] raises the rafters and distills emotion with impeccable clarity. Her high notes thrill, her nuance in storytelling captivates. A star for our times claims her place.”
She also joined the third hour of TODAY to talk about her busy schedule as a working mom, meeting her idol Shania Twain and making history at the Grammys as the first Black artist to earn a nomination for best country album. She says it’s so important to hold the door open for people behind us because “it just takes one person to give you that chance.”
