The cover and release date for the album were first revealed on April 7, 2022.[1] Underwood revealed the tracklist for the album through social media on April 8, 2022, which will consist of twelve tracks, eleven of which were co-written by Underwood.[2]

Background

On March 18, Underwood first spoke about the atmosphere of the album, saying, "I feel like people are going to hear everything and [get] some warm fuzzies and hopefully it'll just make people happy to listen to. It's a very 'sing into your hairbrush, in your house, in your room' kind of album."[3][4]

In April, Underwood spoke about the album's title track, saying, "The song 'Denim & Rhinestones' is super fun, with a bit of a retro vibe – we just go together, like a sweet tea and a lemon, like denim and rhinestones. You have these things that are great on their own and then you put them together and they just fit. That's how this album feels."[5]

When the album's trailer aired on April 8, Underwood said, "We cover a lot of ground on this album. We have a lot of songs that have a bit of a “throwback” feel, but they sound super fresh. I grew up listening to so many different kinds of music and that is extremely evident in this body of work. These are musical influences that are all in me and working their way out, and I just decided this time not to get in their way. I think this whole album ended up being a big reflection of me as a person and as an artist."[6]

When asked about lead single "Ghost Story", Underwood praised songwriters Josh Kear, Hillary Lindsey, and David Garcia, saying, "They are such talented, amazing songwriters who know me so well. From the first time I heard it I knew I had to record it."[7]

Promotion

The lead single for the album, "Ghost Story", was released digitally on March 18, 2022.[8] Underwood gave the debut performance of the single at the Grammy Awards on April 3, 2022.[9] Underwood gave the second performance of "Ghost Story" at the 2022 CMT Music Awards, which aired on April 11.[10]

The album's title track, "Denim & Rhinestones", was released on April 8, 2022, as its first promotional single, alongside an accompanying lyric video.[11] Another promotional single, titled "Crazy Angels", was released on April 22, 2022.[12]
