is coming off of a breakout 2020 and ringing in the new year with on her new single, Fillin' My Cup!
After releasing her album, The Dream, at the end of February 2020, things started to move in a big way for the singer-songwriter. For nearly a decade, she'd be writing and singing and waiting for her break or for the recognition and success she was looking for. And then, after a reassessment of what she wanted and needed to be doing, it hit. And here we are.
Now, the next chapter kicks off with Fillin' My Cup. And while we don't know what comes next in this year from Whitters, we do know that she's earned the opportunity to keep exploring her music as a writer and as a singer - and when stages come back, as a performer too.
In a press release, Hailey Whitters said about Fillin' My Cup, "I wrote this song with Hillary Lindsey and Nicolle Galyon. I'd had the title 'Fillin' My Cup' for a while, but then Nicolle had the brilliant idea to turn the lyric into a recipe. It's a concoction of all of those little things in life that have a way of making my glass feel half-full. It's been a hopeful reminder throughout the year and just felt like the right note to start 2021 on."

In a post before release day, Whitters' wrote: "Little Big Town gave me my first single at country radio as a songwriter back in 2017 with "Happy People"... I saved up all those royalty checks to self-fund my record, The Dream. They're a big part of my story and one of the main reasons I get to say today that I feel like I'm #livingthedream."
That's the kind of storyline that I love. It's the extra layer, the something special, the cherry on top of the sundae. I'm here for it!
