Jessie G Perfectly Captures The Feelings Of First-Time Parents In New Single “Babies Raisin’ Babies”

Perfect song for new parents. I don’t have kids myself, but even at 36 years old I still feel like I have so much to learn before I’m able to raise a child of my own. And I know that’s ridiculous, because there are plenty of people younger than me who have done just fine. Heck, my mom was 18 when she had me and I turned out ok. But still, no matter how old you are, I don’t think anybody truly feels like they’re prepared for the first child. And Jessie G perfectly captures that feeling in her new single, “Babies Raisin’ Babies.” “They didn’t know what they were doing Just grown up kids with a kid of their own Free fallin’ like an old Tom Petty song Jumpin’ off the edge and going all in Livin’ on a prayer, oh Jesus save these Babies raisin’ babies” Speaking on the song, Jessie revealed that it was written right after she found out she was going to be a parent for the first time: “Babies Raisin’ Babies is one of the most personal songs I’ve ever written. I started it with Matt Wynn and Quinn Loggins on Music Row right after I found out I was pregnant with my first child. My parents were so young when they had me, and suddenly I found myself in their shoes. I was so excited, overwhelmed, and completely in love, but also terrified. Even though becoming a mom was always my dream, there’s no handbook for the moment you realize you’re responsible for raising another human. I think so many of us feel like we’re still figuring out life while raising little ones at the same time. Like we’re still growing up right alongside them. That’s what this song is about. Sometimes, I really do feel like a baby raisin’ a baby!” If you’re not familiar with Jessie G, she was previously signed to Gretchen Wilson’s Redneck Records after opening for the “Redneck Woman” on a recent tour. She scored her first radio hit with “Like My Whiskey” featuring Gretchen Wilson herself. And now she’s an independent artist who’s putting out some killer music of her own. Last fall, she showed off her songwriting prowess with the powerful single “Dress Blues,” which drew on her experience as a military spouse for the symbolism of the uniform. And it’s these kind of personal songs, and the ability to put her own life and feelings into a song, that makes Jessie G such a force when it comes to songwriting in country music these days. At a time when we’re seeing songwriting finally making its way back to the forefront, being able to craft such personal songs and deliver them with her powerful voice is just one of the reasons that Jessie G needs to be on your radar.The post Jessie G Perfectly Captures The Feelings Of First-Time Parents In New Single “Babies Raisin’ Babies” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
