"Get ready to groove! Coming off the heels of her widely successful single "Just Like," Carrie Cunningham is picking up the tempo with her new disco-themed country single titled "Habit," and listeners are already raving about it. 

"Habit" by Carrie Cunningham seamlessly blends country and disco, offering a retro toe-tapping beat and a chorus that’ll linger in your mind all day. Carrie’s energetic, distinctive, and melodic voice carries the song, while the lyrics explore the addictive nature of a person, turning them into a habit. It’s a catchy and engaging tune that effortlessly combines different genres and leaves a lasting impression.

Prepare to have your dopamine levels spiked with Carrie's latest spell-binding tune. You've been warned...lyrics like 'You can say I'm an addict, cause baby I'm obsessin'' will have you forming a compulsive habit of hitting replay.

Cunningham is joined on the track by an all-star lineup of musicians, including Doug Frasure on drums, Brian Allen on bass, Billy Nobel on keys, Phil Hughley on electric guitar, Scott Gerow on acoustic guitar, Brian Arrowood on fiddle, and Cunningham herself on background vocals.
The song was co-written by artist Riley Roth, whose TikTok viral hit "When God Made You My Mother" has been viewed millions of times, and writer Patrick Dodge, known for his cuts with Home Free, Brody Rivers, and Kathryn Shipley.
"I'm so excited to share 'Habit' with my fans," Cunningham said. "I think the instrumentation blended perfectly to show that disco beats and country can go hand in hand. It's a song about falling in love, and how it can become a habit that's hard to break. I think a lot of people can relate to that feeling."

Nashville, TN (August 25, 2023) – Who says Disco is dead? Not Carrie Cunningham! The singer/songwriter and recording artist just released her highly anticipated new single, “Just Like,” and the song has already been receiving rave reviews.

"Just like a 45 from 45 years ago, Carrie Cunningham's new song feels like Crystal Gayle delivering a classic Andy Gibb hit on this mid-tempo dance number with a tasteful fluid guitar. I 'Just Like' it a lot!"
-Warren Kurtz, Goldmine

“An enjoyable modern sounding track. Can't wait to play.”
-The Sound Lab Radio

“Absolutely love your record. Thank you for your great music…”
-Thibaut Coppens (SLNB Playlists)


"Just Like" fuses Carrie's love for both Disco and Country music, creating a new sound to share with her fans. Co-written with Warner Chappell recording artist Riley Roth, both ladies agree this is truly a summer love song for those who want to dance the night away! With honest lyrics like ‘I was looking for a mirror image, but you got me seeing things all different,’ “Just Like” is a fun and flirty tune, perfect for summer love.
 
“I never realized how much I have been influenced by Disco, R&B and Motown music until recently," Carrie explains. “I grew up listening to all three genres, along with country, and I never thought to incorporate them into my own music. I really feel in my element and I can't wait for everyone to hear my new music!"

Carrie plans to release more new music this fall, with an EP set for release in 2024.
