Little Big Town: Jealousy Is Passion in "Girl Crush"

Check Out the Band's Annotations of the Song's Lyrics

Little Big Town’s soulful “Girl Crush” continues the quartet’s exploration of new musical sounds and lyrical themes.

Released nine weeks ago, the track is gaining momentum at radio stations and has climbed to No. 35 on Billboard’s country airplay chart. The song was written by three of country music’s most successful songwriters -- Lori McKenna, Hillary Lindsey and Liz Rose -- and is the second single from Little Big Town’s latest album, Pain Killer.

“Jealousy is passion,” one of the band members writes in an annotation of lyrics on Genius.com. “It is. Not matter where you are in your life, I think everybody can identify with a little bit of jealousy.”
