She continued, “Just going home to Texas to make it felt really right for this new season and this new chapter. I signed with Republic Records ... and this new team has just given me so much fire and inspiration, because it's all about the music with them.”- From the album, she released anew song “Alimony” on July 24, 2024.

It was written by Miranda Lambert, Natalie Hemby, and Shane McAnally. Produced by Miranda Lambert and Jon Randall.
Miranda Lambert said of the song, “My parents were private investigators in Dallas, Texas who worked a ton of divorce cases in highfalutin' parts of town, so this wasn't hard to write. I'd heard about it my whole life.” -
She continued, “We were out in my barn; I was showing Shane and Natalie the horses, and I asked if he had any other titles. He said he had one, and I was like, 'What is it? Because your last one was 'Looking Back on Luckenbach,' which I didn't think you could top.' He said, 'Well, 'If you're gonna leave me in San Antone, remember the Alamo-neeeee…''' Natalie and I were like, 'All right, Shane! Stop showing off.' We went back to the house and got the guitars,, and I specifically was like, 'I want a shuffle, man.' I love to shuffle so much, and this record needed a shuffle! I knew I wanted one in my set, because I haven't done one in a while – and everybody loves a shuffle... We used every Texas metaphor we could come up with on purpose; we wanted to take something kind of shitty and put some humor back in it. I mean, the guy gets out pretty easy if all he does is move back in with his mom.” - source : Apple Music
