Lambert occupies "No Man's Land"
Cowritten with frequent collaborator Luke Dick ("Bluebird," "Actin' Up," "Settling Down"), the ballad showcases Lambert's paints a picture of a woman who embodies both the beauty of untamed landscapes and the independence of a life lived on her own terms.Lyrics include:
She's purple heather on the high planes
"Her heart's a mystery
You're lucky if you get a glimpse of
Her rosehips among the weeds
She's a deep Sedona sunset
Behind the Santa Ana winds
You can hold her for forever, but she's still
No man's land"
"'No Man's Land' is a love song to me, and it's one of my favorite songs I've maybe ever written," said Lambert. "When Luke sent me the initial idea, the lyrics just struck me. They were so beautiful, so raw. It felt like, 'This is how I can explain it to the man who's willing to love a girl like me — a free spirit, a wildflower, a wild card but with a big heart and all the love to give.' It's that sentiment of 'love her but leave her wild,' and it's not really a warning; it's just a 'let me tell you what you're getting into, and if you want to jump off and take this ride with me, then let's go.'"
"'No Man's Land' is like saying, 'Come with me. Let's do this together,' rather than, 'I'm your property,'" she said. "It's about embracing the wild, uncharted territories of love and life, with all the risks and rewards that come with it."
This will be Lambert's first disc for Republic after spending her career with Sony Nashville. Her last release was "Palomino" in 2022.
