The project also includes Guyton's version of Beyoncé’s 2008 hit, \"If I Were a Boy,\" a cover version the country singer first shared earlier in 2021.
It’s also the only track on \"Remember Her Name\" that Guyton didn’t have a hand in writing.
According to CMT, \"Remember Her Name\"'s title track was inspired by Breonna Taylor, the Black woman who was shot and killed by police officers in her Louisville, Kentucky, home in March 2020.
\"When I was thinking about ... Breonna Taylor, and seeing inaction regarding her murder, I thought, ‘I need to bring justice to her life,'\" the singer told CMT. \"The frustration that I’ve felt as an African-American has been a part of my process for a while. So the song, and album, are dedicated to Breonna Taylor and giving her the justice that she deserves.\"
\"Remember Her Name\" is due out Sept. 24. It’s available for pre-order now.
