RaeLynn auditioned for the second season of The Voice after being encouraged by a contestant on Team Adam who wrote songs with her.
In 2016 RaeLynn signed a new record deal with Warner Bros. Nashville. "Love Triangle" was released on July 11, 2016 as her first single for the label. It served as the start of her debut album, WildHorse, which was released on March 24, 2017. Sounds Like Nashville praised RaeLynn's "featured debut" and called her lead single, "Love Triangle," "country music narration in its maximum expression ". and the country's radio is better because of that. "
WildHorse reached the Top 10 in the list of albums of all categories of Billboard and debuted in the n. # 1 on the Billboard Country album list, marking the first female country artist to do so since Maren Morris' debut HERO.
Careless
RaeLynn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna be the girl always giving in to you
Same old same, it's a daily train
Waiting on your ring, it's just a losing game
I don't wanna pick up, but then I pick up
I don't wanna give up, should I give up?
It's just a chase, a Tom & Jerry race
I bet if I turned this heart off, baby, it would turn you on
I bet if I blocked you, you'd be blowing up my best friend's phone
I bet you'd be on your knees, on that floor
If I said, get lost, if I slammed that door
Maybe if I cared less, maybe if I care less
You would care a little more
If I had a hand that didn't want a ring
You wouldn't be cool with a five-month fling, yeah
What we have is just a rush, yeah
Just a touch but not enough
I let my heart out and then you wigged out
I gave my all to you, but if I said, see ya
Just like that, would you be back?
All looking sad and trying to last
I bet if I turned this heart off, baby,
It would turn you on
I bet if I blocked you,
You'd be blowing up my best friend's phone
I bet you'd be on your knees, on that floor
If I said, get lost, if I slammed that door
Maybe if I cared less, maybe if I care less
You would care a little more
Whoa, a little more
Maybe I should care less and be careless
Maybe I should care less and be careless
Maybe I should care less and be careless
I bet if I turned this heart off, baby,
It would turn you on
I bet if I blocked you,
You'd be blowing up my best friend's phone, yeah
I bet you'd be on your knees, on that floor
If I said, get lost, if I slammed that door
Maybe if I cared less, maybe if I care less
You would care a little more
Whoa, a little more
Yeah, yeah
In "Careless," RaeLynn sings about a situation where she feels unappreciated in a relationship. She feels like she is always the one putting in more effort and waiting for her partner to make a commitment, but it never happens. She reflects on the possibility of caring less about him and wonders if that would make him care more about her. She considers the idea of blocking him or pushing him away to test if he truly cares for her. The lyrics indicate a sense of frustration and a lack of fulfillment in the relationship. The line, "what we have is just a rush, just a touch, but not enough" suggests that the comfort and stability that RaeLynn seeks in a relationship are non-existent in this one. However, despite her frustration, she is still uncertain about what to do, as seen in the line, "I don't wanna give up, should I give up?"
The song highlights a common issue in relationships where one person feels like they are doing more than their fair share, while the other is not reciprocating enough. It portrays the dilemma of wanting to be loved and valued but not wanting to lose oneself in the process. Ultimately, the song expresses the idea that perhaps it is best to take a step back and care less in order to see if the other person is willing to step up and care more.
Line by Line Meaning
A relationship is a 50/50 thing
A relationship requires equal commitment and effort from both parties
I don't wanna be the girl always giving in to you
I don't want to always be the one compromising and sacrificing in the relationship
Same old same, it's a daily train
Our relationship has become routine and monotonous
Waiting on your ring, it's just a losing game
Hoping and waiting for a proposal is a futile endeavor if you are not invested in the relationship
I don't wanna pick up, but then I pick up
I don't want to answer your calls, but I end up doing so anyway
I don't wanna give up, should I give up?
I am conflicted about whether or not to end the relationship
It's just a chase, a Tom & Jerry race
Our relationship is like a game of cat and mouse, with neither of us coming out on top
Will it, will it ever, ever change?
I wonder if our relationship will ever improve or if it will always be this way
I bet if I turned this heart off, baby, it would turn you on
If I stopped caring so much about the relationship, you would suddenly become more invested in it
I bet if I blocked you, you'd be blowing up my best friend's phone
If I cut off contact with you, you would try to reach me through other means
I bet you'd be on your knees, on that floor
You would beg for my forgiveness and come crawling back
If I said, get lost, if I slammed that door
If I ended the relationship and cut off all contact with you
Maybe if I cared less, maybe if I care less
Perhaps if I valued the relationship less, you would take it more seriously

You wouldn't be satisfied with a short-term relationship if you were truly invested in me
What we have is just a rush, yeah
Our relationship is based on temporary excitement rather than genuine feelings
Just a touch but not enough
Our physical connection is not enough to make up for the lack of emotional depth in the relationship
I let my heart out and then you wigged out
I opened up to you emotionally, but you didn't respond well
I gave my all to you, but if I said, see ya
I've invested a lot in this relationship, but I'm willing to leave if it's not working out
Just like that, would you be back?
Would you try to come back into my life if I ended things between us?
All looking sad and trying to last
You would act regretful and try to make things work in the relationship
Maybe I should care less and be careless
Perhaps I should stop caring so much about the relationship and be more reckless with my actions
Whoa, a little more
You need to care about the relationship a little more
Yeah, yeah
An interjection of agreement

Bailey Callahan
My boyfriend isn't allowed to date but we ended up dating anyways. His mom started finding out about after a month of us dating so he broke up with me. At first it hurt, but then I finally started moving on.
After maybe 5 months of us being broken up, he said he wanted to get back together. So we did.
We were good for a bit, then the more attention I gave him, the more distant he seemed.
He got a phone for his birthday and he asked all of our friends for their number, then my best friend realized he never got mine so she started yelling at him and saying to get my number. He did get my number, the next day he said he lost the paper.
He sat in spanish class after we all finished our Spanish final just texting one of my friends who was right next to him.
The last week of school he completely stopped talking to me. He walked home and to school with one of my friends (who isn't the most loyal person and who is very flirty).
I felt stupid waiting for this guy to show some attention to me again. Now? Now I'm done with him, when we go back to school and wants to act like a couple, I'm gonna push him away like how he did with me.
I might be scared of losing him, but if he's not scared of losing me then I won't worry about losing him anymore.
Here's an update after 10 months later:
We ended up completely breaking it off the summer I posted this. We avoided each other for a few months later but soon enough we started hanging out again and became friends again. Him and that friend never dated because my other friend ended up talking him out of it and reminding him how bad of an idea that was. I did end up finding out though that he did have a crush on her during that time period. Even though all that stuff happened, we are still really close friends. He ended up seeing the other friend that talked him out of dating the first friend and right now they are really happy with each other although now it's a long distance relationship.

Love can be beautiful, but it can also cause pain
I gave my heart to u, my all to u thinking they were in safe hands but u was wrong, you broke me
Every little that i have- Damn. Sleepless nights, tear filled mornings, sorrow fueled naps, and days that pass full of mourning.
Where has my happiness gone?
What happened to our love song?
i trusted your promises and your words full of hopes but i was naiive, gullible, and those very promises you broke... i hate you, i hate you, but at the same time i still love you.
I did absolutely everything for you i catered to u 24/7 and i made you my #1 priority you were in my present and my future but i wasn't in yours u were mine but u didn't feel the same i loved you but you cheated on me šššš¢š¢š¢š„š

Ok this is legit me-
"I bet if I turned this heart off, baby it would turn you on,"
I stopped being compassionate and understanding and he seemed to like it.
"I bet if I blocked you, you'd be blowing up my best friend's phone."
I blocked him and he started messaging my best friend.
"I be you'd be on your knees, on that floor, if I said get lost, if I slammed that door,"
I told him to get lost and he begged me to give him another chance.
Ugh.

You shouldn't have to chase after someone. Beg them to do things for you. Teach them how to treat you. If they don't chase you back...run away and fly on your own wings. We don't need someone until we don't need someone, until we know that we can stand alone, we don't need anyone. Once we stand alone, we will attract strong people too.
