Both tracks are from her upcoming third solo album for Warner Nashville, the follow-up to last year's critically acclaimed Lindeville collaboration. So far, she hasn't revealed when the full record will arrive.

Lauren also had a hand in writing "A Walk in the Bar," which arrives Thursday night, along with the track titled "Hangovers." Cole Swindell help craft "Smaller the Town."
The American Idol runner-up hopes the new music will help her fans get to know her a little better.
“It's been 13 years since we first met, and until a couple of years ago, I don't know that I ever slowed down for more than a day or two at a time,” Lauren says. “I spent more time with the people that matter most to me -- my family, my fiancé, my friends -- during that period than I had in years."
"This music comes from my heart and my hometown," she continues. "I am who I am because of where and who I come from, and I'm more me today than I've ever been. I can't wait to unlock this next chapter with you.”
You can get a sneak peak of the record via a new YouTube video Lauren posted on her socials on Thursday.

Penned by Dylan, Dallas Wilson, Josh Melton and Matt Alderman, the track, as Dylan recalls, was very much inspired by a real-life situation.
Dylan's longtime best friend, Micah, was having trouble finding the love of his life and decided to seek advice from the singer/songwriter.
"He's like, 'Man, you've been with your wife since you were 15. What do I got to do, man?' So I just gave him a laundry list of things, like, 'Hey, you got to find you one like this and maybe one like this and not like this and like this,'" Dylan shares with ABC Audio. "When I got off the phone with him, I told myself, 'Dang, I just described my wife to my best friend.'"
This heartfelt conversation later sparked the inspiration for "Can't Have Mine (Find You A Girl)."
"I started thinking about it, I was like, 'Man, he needs to find a girl, but he can't have mine.' I wrote that in my phone and it turned out to be great," he adds.
Today, Micah is not only in a relationship, he's gearing up to tie the knot in September. "(Micah) did find him a girl. I'm going to take full credit for that. I am the matchmaker," Dylan boasts.
Dylan is currently top 30-bound on the country charts with "Can't Have Mine (Find You A Girl)."

As far as Dustin Lynch is concerned, "Country music fans are the best party throwers and best tailgaters." There's really no persuading him otherwise, especially since he's seen all the action unfold.
"I always heard like NASCAR infield, NASCAR infield, this, that, Kentucky Derby, this, that. That's people that haven't been to a country music festival where there [are] campgrounds for four days," Dustin tells ABC Audio while also referencing his "Stars Like Confetti" music video.
Directed by Chris Hickey, the video, which was filmed at Country Jam USA 2022 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, captures pure summertime effervescence as concertgoers soak up the sun and enjoy some good ole country music with family and friends.
"It's [an] absolute circus between the sets. Of course, everybody's rushing to the shows. But before and after that, man, people are grilling out, making new friends, making babies in tents. It's wild," Dustin adds with a laugh.
"Stars Like Confetti" is off Dustin's 2022 album, Blue In The Sky, which spawned the hit singles "Thinking 'Bout You" with Mackenzie Porter and "Party Mode." It's currently in the top 30 on the country charts.
