Watch: Carly Pearce Opens Up About Heart-Wrenching Emotions After A Breakup

Carly Pearce offered a sneak peek of a heart-wrenching breakup ballad that’s set to appear on her upcoming deluxe album.

Pearce said she wrote the unreleased song, “If Looks Could Kill,” a few years ago. She shared a clip of the track on TikTok on Wednesday evening (March 5). Commenters gushed that they have “goosebumps,” that the Grammy-winning artist never disappoints, and vulnerably shared how Pearce’s music has helped them through heartache. Pearce sings in the brief clip: “I say I’m fine/ But if looks could kill, I’d be six feet under/ Seeing you happy is hitting me harder/ Than I thought that it would/ You make moving on look too good/ And if looks could kill, I’d be pushing up daisies/ Watching you over there calling her baby/ Putting on a show to see/ Like you know looking at you’s killing me.”

Pearce announced last month that she would release a deluxe edition of her latest studio record, hummingbird, and debuted the stunning first song from the extended album, “no rain.” She said when she announced hummingbird: no rain, no flowers that “‘hummingbird’ was my healing journey after ‘29.’ I felt like there were a few more songs to be shared before I close this chapter.” New tracks on the album — which Pearce produced with longtime collaborators Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne — also include “heart first” and live renditions of “Oklahoma” and “Things I Don’t Chase.” The deluxe album arrives on March 14.

“I have been working so hard on this album for the last few years, and it just feels awesome to finally have it out to the world and to see the way that people are loving it,” Pearce said of hummingbird in a previous interview with iHeartCountry. “I think I had a bigger voice and a bigger presence in not only the songwriting this round, but just in the production, and I really got to have a big hands-on part in how every single song sounded. …I feel like they [McAnally and Osborne] really understand me as an artist, and so, getting to go back into the studio this time around with them was just really awesome. We knew what we wanted to do.”

Pearce said “the biggest payoff” of writing and recording music is performing it live and connecting with listeners in person. The singer-songwriter is in the midst of her headlining world tour, which wraps up on May 16 with a show at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. See the remaining dates here.
