Kellie Pickler had a difficult upbringing. The Tough Songfacts explains that Kellie was raised by her grandparents, after her mother abandoned her and her alcoholic father spent time in and out of jail. The 21-year-old Pickler auditioned for American Idol in the fall of 2005 in Greensboro, North Carolina. She sang both Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" and Martina McBride's "A Broken Wing". The judges unanimously sent her to Hollywood. Pickler advanced through the semi-finalist rounds in February and March, reaching the Top 12 On March 9.
Pickler gained attention on the show by saying (for example) that she had never performed before real audiences, pronouncing "salmon" as "sal-mon", and confusing "minx" with "mink ". She was compared to Jessica Simpson in a March 27 story in US Weekly magazine entitled "Kellie: The Next Jessica Simpson", due to her "sweet southern style and ditzy demeanor." Various Internet blogs alleged that Pickler was merely putting on an act in order to win votes. Host Ryan Seacrest asked Pickler about the allegations during the April 4 broadcast, and she denied the claims. On April 19, Pickler and contestant Taylor Hicks became the only contestants among the rest of the Top 6 to never be in the bottom 3. That changed on April 26 when she was in the bottom 2 and then eliminated. Due to time constraints, her exit performance was not aired on the show, which happened to be the first time of its kind in American Idol history. However, when Kellie was interviewed by Extra, they showed her exit performance for the first time.
She returned in the finale in a pre-taped segment called "Puck 'n Pickler", featuring her and Wolfgang Puck at a restaurant discussing foods. It has scenes of Pickler mispronouncing Shanghai, her use of sarcasm, and her reaction to lobsters.
Fate played the straight man, and since then she's never looked back.
On September 30, 2008 Kellie released her 2nd studio album. It was self-titled because she felt she had more to do with the making of it therefore it reflected her as an artist better than her first album. The self-titled album has yielded 4 singles: "Don't You Know You're Beautiful" which peaked at #21, "Best Days of Your Life" at #9 (This was her first top 10), "Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You" at #14, and "Makin' Me Fall In Love Again".
Songfacts states that "Tough," Kellie Pickler's first single from her third album is a female anthem, which finds the song's narrator declaring that while she is just a regular girl, she has been able to overcome challenges in her life by staying tough. The song was released on June 13, 2011.

Best Days Of Your Life
Kellie Pickler Lyrics
Cause I'll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met 'till you were making me cry
And it's just too bad, cause you've already had the best days
The best days of your life
Ain't it a shame?
A shame that every time you hear my name
Brought up in a casual conversation
You can't think straight
And ain't it sad?
You can forget about what we had
Take a look at her and do you like what you see?
Or do you wish it was me
Cause I'll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met to the very last night
And it's just too bad, cause you've already had the best days
The best days of you life
And does she know?
Know about the times you used to hold me
Wrapped me in your arms and how you told me
I'd be the only one
I heard about
Yeah, someone told me once, when you were out
She went a little crazy ran her mouth about me
Ain't jealousy funny?
Cause I'll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met to the very last night
And it's just too bad, cause you've already had the best days
The best days of you life
With me was a fairytale love
I was head-over-heals 'til you threw away "us"
And it's just too bad you've, cause you've already had the best days
The best days of your life
I heard you're gonna get married
Have a nice little family
Live out my dreams with someone new
But, I've been told that a cheater
Is always a cheater
I've got my pride, and she's got you
Cause I'll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met 'til you were making me cry
And it's just too bad, cause you've already had the best days
The best days of your life
Of your life
Oh, oh, yeah
You're gonna think of me
You're gonna think of me in your life
Oh, oh, yeah
It's a shame, it's a shame

Taylor is re-recording her own songs. This is not her song. This is Kellie's song.
