Kansas native country music singer, Martina McBride premiered a new video on VEVO Network for her third single, "Wrong Baby Wrong," following "I Just Call You Mine" and "Ride" from McBride's latest tenth studio chart-topping album, "Shine" (RCA Nashville). The singer has spent the winter on the road in support of the disc. She's been traveling across North America with Trace Adkins on the 'Shine All Night' tour, along with opening act, Sarah Buxton."Wrong Baby Wrong Baby Wrong" was written by Brad and Brett Warren along with Robert Ellis Orrall and Love and Theft member Stephen Barker Liles. On country radio, the song charted under the shortened name "Wrong Baby Wrong." The single is a moderate up-tempo, backed primarily by electric guitar, that features a hook where the beginning of each lyrical phrase in the verses are repeated to match the song's title. In the song, a female narrator describes telling another woman to pick herself back up after her man has walked out on her, describing that everyone experiences these moments as part of life.
"When the song was originally written, it was written as a guy who was hanging out with this girl," she says. "She'd broken up with this guy or he'd broken up with her. And the person who was singing this song was a guy who was kind of hanging out going, 'Well, eventually you'll notice me.' So we took it and turned it around so it's two friends talking to each other." The 9513 reviewer Blake Boldt gave the song a thumbs-up, stating that while the song "stumbles in telling its story," it "offers the listener a blast of sass that's sorely missing from country radio." He also favorably described the song's production as having a "bluesier edge," with a "groovy energy [that] breathes life into a slight little ditty."
The 43-year-old McBride has been called the "Céline Dion of Country Music" for her big-voiced ballads and soprano range. The one of my all time favorite songs form McBride is her 2006 hit single, "Anyway," was nominated for 'Single of the Year' and 'Song of the Year' awards, is an inspirational song based on a favorite poem of Mother Teresa's, written by Keith Kent, which he originally titled, "The Paradoxical Commandments". The song generally means, no matter what puts you down in life, do not give up, do it anyway!
