Paulette, Worthington are "Chasin' Whiskey" together

Out today and written by Joe Fox and Tony Lane, the tune was originally released as a solo track on Paulette's 2024 sophomore album, "Horseback."

"Jake and I have been friends for a while," she said. "His wife, Sophie, and I had our babies a few weeks apart, and we both hail from Texas with strong ties to Oklahoma. Outside of that, he's just hard not to love. He has one of the most iconic voices of our generation, and I'm just so thankful that he hopped on this song with me. It feels like it should've always been this way."

"I'm honored to be on this song with my friend Jenna," Worthington said. "I think she's stand up, 10 out of 10, one of one. I think this song's great. It's got a great story. We've all been there, and I'm proud to sing it with her."

With fiddle and steel guitar part of the sound, lyrics include:
"I chased a cowboy, now I'm chasin' whiskey
It burns goin' down like the farewell he wished me
Gave him my heart and look where it gets me
I chased a cowboy, now I'm chasin' whiskey"

This follows the September release of Paulette's easy-rolling "Steady," which the lifelong cowgirl co-wrote with Will Bundy and Rhett Akins. The song about the romantic bliss of a trusty, dependable partner marks a preview of Paulette's upcoming 2026 recording project.

Paulette teamed with Ashley McBryde on a new duet version of "The Prophet (Grandaddy's Song)," which was also featured on "Horseback," as a solo ballad.
