Hailey Whitters Releases New Single "Prodigal Daughter" Featuring Molly Tuttle
Hailey Whitters, the GRAMMY-nominated, platinum-selling singer/songwriter, has released her latest single "Prodigal Daughter" featuring Molly Tuttle on February 21, 2025. The collaboration masterfully blends bluegrass undertones with contemporary country sensibilities, creating a rich tapestry that explores themes of homecoming and self-discovery.
The song, co-written by Whitters, Paul Sikes, and Bryan Simpson, explores themes of returning to one's roots and faith. Tuttle's distinctive guitar work and harmonies provide a perfect complement to Whitters' emotive vocals, elevating the track's acoustic foundation. The song reimagines the biblical parable of the prodigal son through a female lens, crafting a narrative that resonates with modern audiences. The poignant lyric "I'm gonna plant myself / Under a shade tree" serves as a powerful metaphor for finding peace in returning to one's roots.
The release builds upon Whitters' impressive momentum in country music, following her 2023 ACM Award for New Female Artist of the Year. Her touring schedule has included supporting roles for industry powerhouses like Dan + Shay, Luke Combs, and Jason Aldean, while her previous single "Everything She Ain't" achieved both RIAA Platinum status and top 20 success on country radio charts.
"Prodigal Daughter" follows the release of "Casseroles" in January 2025, which garnered critical acclaim for its nuanced exploration of grief and recovery. These recent releases build on the success of her 2023 EP "I'm In Love," which received praise from publications such as American Songwriter and Billboard.
Whitters continues to expand her live performance footprint with upcoming appearances at prestigious events including the Sand In My Boots 2025 in Gulf Shores, AL, and the Country Summer Music Festival 2025 in Santa Rosa, CA. Her authentic storytelling and dynamic stage presence continue to cement her position as a rising force in country music.
