Grace Humphries Unveils Striking New Ballad “Wanted You To Know”
Rising singer-songwriter Grace Humphries delivers an emotionally charged performance on her newest single, “Wanted You To Know,” available today on all streaming platforms. Celeb Secrets Country exclusively said, “Grace’s soft-yet-bold vocals paired with her warm acoustic guitar create a sense of intimacy that pulls you in and doesn’t let go. But it’s her clever, cut-deep lyrics — full of raw contradictions — that make this song sting in the best way.”
Grace recently wrapped up a Nashville media blitz on Today In Nashville and WSM Coffee, Country, and Cody.
“Wanted You To Know” is a strikingly honest ballad that dives into the tangled emotions of heartbreak. Inspired by the complexities of modern relationships, the song explores how love and resentment can coexist when things fall apart. With raw vulnerability and delicate vocals, Grace paints a vivid picture of emotional whiplash — the kind that comes when someone promises forever, only to walk away the next day.
Grace shares, “Since most of my songs are not based on personal experience, I never know which story will inspire me next. For this song, I was inspired by how some women on TikTok talked about their dating experiences. They shared that right before their boyfriends broke up with them, they were love-bombed with things like, ‘I can’t wait to get married,’ and ‘I’ll never leave you,’ etc. That’s where the idea for the second verse came from: ‘You said you couldn’t wait to say I do the day before I saw you out with someone new…’ The lyric ‘Our pictures on the wall are torn’ changes to ‘I tried to fix those pictures torn’ in the final chorus. Similarly, the lyric ‘I’m happy and alone’ changes to ‘I’m not happy, I’m alone.’ With these lyric changes, I wanted to encapsulate the antithetical feelings of love and anger, and how they can coexist when going through a hard breakup — whether that’s a breakup with a friend, romantic partner, or family member.”
Known for her heartfelt lyrics and soulful delivery, Grace Humphries continues to carve a space for herself as one of today’s most compelling young artists. “Wanted You To Know” follows on the heels of her previous releases and marks a new chapter in her evolving artistry.Follow Grace Humphries on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and visit www.gracehumphries.com for more information.
