NASHVILLE, TN (March 1, 2023) — With the support of her fans encouraging the release of her previous single, “Do It Right The First Time” on January 25, Shaylen turned back to them to help create the touching music video composed of authentic clips of love from both Shaylen’s childhood and fan submitted videos, out today. 

Keeping up with popular demand and backed by powerhouse vocals, breakout country artist Shaylen delivered the track after teasing it on her TikTok — gaining over 725k views — and caught the attention of Kelly Clarkson who featured Shaylen in her “#What I’m Liking” segment on NBC’s The Kelly Clarkson Show.

The single was born out of a conversation with her grandparents about their 75 years of marriage. When asking about their relationship and how they’ve made their love last a lifetime, her grandpa responded: “You do it right the first time.” Inspired by his words, Shaylen took to writing and thus “Do It Right The First Time” came to be. Having evolved into the ultimate wedding song, “Do It Right The First Time” encapsulates the modern love story with a classic country sound.

“Do It Right The First Time” garnered immediate attention having been added to Spotify’s “Next From Nashville,” “New Music Friday Country” and “Fresh Finds Country” playlists, as well as Apple Music’s “New In Pop,” “Country Chill” and “Back Porch Country” playlists with Ward Guenther also including the track in his “Country Risers” playlist. Within the first week of release, “Do It Right The First Time” reached #34 on the iTunes Country Charts and #113 on the overall iTunes Charts with over 500k streams across DSPs.

With two acclaimed country singles released, the debut “What If I Don’t” and “Roots,” Shaylen has earned her keep in the country scene. What If I Don’t,” reached over 4 million streams across both Apple Music and Spotify, while “Roots” followed close behind reaching over 1 million streams across DSPs within its first month of release.

Born in Chattanooga, TN and raised in Dallas, Shaylen is no stranger to the world of country music. Growing up with the voices of icons from Elvis to Ella Fitzgerald and Willie Nelson to Janis Joplin floating through her home, Shaylen has been influenced by all genres of music from the very beginning. Her roots in the south are where her country and gospel influences came from and are the core of who she is as an artist. 

After spending 10 years in Los Angeles, CA as a thriving pop artist with Republic Records, Shaylen found it was her time to come home. Garnering a strong fanbase and tens-of millions of streams from the slew of EPs and singles she released during her time there, Shaylen felt it was time to make the return back to her roots. Although she’s made the jump from pop music to country, Shaylen has always used her music as an avenue for working through emotions and experiences in life, while staying true to herself. This upcoming body of work will take listeners on an emotional rollercoaster. “By the end of every song I hope listeners can resonate and apply their own stories to the songs and know that they can get through anything,” says Shaylen. As she settles into her new life in Nashville, Shaylen continues to tap into what feels right as her most genuine artistic self.
