Messina wants "Just To Be Loved"

The stemmed from Messina's experience raising two young boys. "I'm seeing things that are coming across my phone from 12, 13-year-old girls and it's blowing my mind," she told Taste of Country.

The song centers around a young girl grappling with her sense of self-worth due to her habit of comparing herself and her life to what she sees on social media.

Messina said, "The gist of the song is, don't change who you are just to be loved because God made you perfect. He made you priceless and He already loves you with a perfect love."

Lyrics include:
You look around at everybody's highlight reel
Picture perfect, pretty lies it makes you feel like
Your life is underrated
You get lost when you start chasing
Everything you think you're missing
But think what you've been missing

Just to be loved (3x)
Don't be somebody else to be loved
Just to be loved (2x)

Written by Messina, Jess Cates, Jordan Mohilowski and Tim Nichols, Messina told the Gazette in Central City, Ia/, "I've been writing a lot, I've been so inspired. Melodies are pouring out of me. Prepare for lots of songs from me. I'm just so thankful, since looking back on my life, it wasn't pretty. I'm grateful for every day. I grew up poor and I've been so blessed with my career and family — and then there are the fans who come out and who have been so supportive."
