Carly Pearce took to Instagram last (5/29) night after wrapping up work on her sophomore album in Los Angeles.

Carly posted to Instagram, "Leaving LA tomorrow knowing CP 2 is wrapping up. The last 2 1/2 years have been life changing and transforming. In a lot of ways, I feel like this is my first record because I feel like this is the first time I’m truly 100% myself. Standing up for myself, letting go of things that I should’ve long before, apologizes, falling in love, owning my femininity... Ups and downs, roller coaster rides and all the in betweens of life ultimately teach us how to be truly happy within, and that is what this phase is all about."

She added, "I feel perfectly imperfect, strong & happier than ever with who I am. I can’t wait to share everything that I’ve experienced, learned & have found. Coming soon #CP2"
