Elle King Album Title Reflects What Some Jerk Said In A Bar
Elle King will release her first country album on January 27, 2023. The title of the album, Come Get Your Wife, does not reflect the name of the song on the project. Instead, it’s something a guy yelled out over her at a bar, and she never forgot it.
Elle told us, “Even the album title, it comes from something some a–hole said to my partner one night. Something thrown off in a bar, intended to put me in my place… and he probably didn’t think twice about it. But I did.”
The album has twelve tracks on it, including her chart-topper with Miranda Lambert, “Drunk (And I Don’t Want To Go Home),” and a new duet with Dierks Bentley called “Worth A Shot.” King says of the new work, “Releasing my debut country album is packed full of emotions. Mostly excitement and full of a lot of gratitude because I really am just so blown away by country music fans and how they’ve, you know, accepted me and still let me continue to just be wild and rowdy and be myself. And it’s just a blessing.” She added, “I have poured my heart and a lot of tequila into this record. So I really hope that people like it because I’m really proud of it, and I can’t wait to sing all these songs live, and I hope you guys want to sing them with me too.”

Elle told us in April, after she scored a number one with Lambert, “Never in a million years would I have ever thought that a song that I wrote when I was about 24 years old would ever have the life that it has. With such a superstar on it as Miranda Lambert, who is now such a beautiful friend in my life.”
She added, “But for that song to go to number one means absolutely everything in the world to me for a song that I wrote, as I come and dive headfirst into the country world for it to go number one means so much to me. I’m in country. Elle King’s here to stay.”
King’s first trip to the top of the country charts came in 2016 with her duet with Dierks Bentley, “Different For Girls.” It was also nominated for the 2017 Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
