Shaylen Swirls Smoke Into Suspicion On “You Smell Like A Cigarette”

Dallas-raised, country singer-songwriter Shaylen turns lingering smoke into late-night suspicion with her new song, "You Smell Like A Cigarette," out today (3.20) via Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment. The deeply honest portrait of doubt curls around the pain of love slipping through her fingers as Shaylen tries to look away from the writing on the walls. Produced by Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Sleeping with the Sirens) and written by Conor Matthews (Megan Moroney, Games We Play), Riley Thomas (Austin Snell, Jake Scott) and Michael Whitworth (Florida Georgia Line, Tanner Adell), "You Smell Like A Cigarette" draws listeners in with her poignant and melancholic vulnerability.

"'You Smell Like a Cigarette' captures the subtle side of heartbreak-the kind that doesn't come with proof, just intuition," said Shaylen. "It's about that moment when love and self-respect collide, and you have to decide which one you're going to choose. The song leans into vulnerability, but it ultimately lands in empowerment. It's for the big-hearted people who gave everything, believed every word, and are finally learning to believe in themselves more."

With more than 80 million career streams, Shaylen has earned praise for her "strong, wisened confidence" (Billboard), and her new track builds on a series of recent releases, including "All Hat, No Cowboy," "Jack Gets Me Sober," "Loneliest Man" and "Daddy Issues," as well as standout collaborations like her reimagined take on "Lips Of An Angel Pt. II," with Austin John Winkler and TAELA's "Watch This (Remix) (feat. Shaylen)."

Currently on the road, Shaylen joins Jay Webb for select dates on his Bury Me with Bourbon Tour, with stops in Indianapolis, Charlotte, Sioux Falls, St. Louis and more. For full tour details, visit: shaylenmusic.com/shows.

Fans can catch new episodes of her newly-launched, unfiltered podcast, Rent Money Confessions weekly.
