Collins looks ahead with "Petty in the 80s"

Friday, February 17, 2023 – Karley Scott Collins is out with "Petty in the 80s," today via Sony Music Nashville.

"I have a habit of really overthinking things in my life, especially when it comes to love," said Collins. "'Petty in the 80s' is about doing the exact opposite of that, just having fun, letting go and letting yourself free fall. I'm a huge fan of Tom Petty, and he's always been a massive inspiration for the music I write, so it's really cool and fun for me to get to reference and honor his music through this song."

Penning the track with Brock Berryhill and Josh Miller, this is her first release of 2023. The Lake City, Fla. native recently hit the road with Nate Smith.

Collins, who moved to Nashville about four years ago, signed with Sony in January 2022. She grew up listening to metal bands such as Guns N' Roses and Alice in Chains with her dad on her way to elementary school, getting into Bob Dylan while reading novels by the likes of Cormac McCarthy.

This is Collins' fourth release for the label. She has previously put out "Heavenly," "Tattoos" and "Better Strangers."
