Like her 2006 hit “Earlier than He Cheats,” Carrie Underwood‘s latest single “Ghost Story” is a declarative revenge tune that seeks retribution for a disgraced lover. However whereas revenge takes the type of outward, bodily anger in “Earlier than He Cheats,” it manifests as religious vengeance in “Ghost Story” as Underwood warns, “I will be haunting you, you may be wanting me.” The lead single from Underwood’s forthcoming follow-up album to Cry Fairly (2018), “Ghost Story” is an otherworldly and bewitching ballad that takes revenge in a brand new path.
“As a substitute of smashing headlights, this scorned lover is letting her ex know that she’s going to proceed to hang-out him irrespective of how laborious he tries to overlook her,” Underwood defined. “I’ve at all times beloved performing songs that inform a narrative and encourage some sort of cinematic imagery if you hear them, and that’s positively true of ‘Ghost Story.’ It creates a temper and a vibe that’s completely different than the rest I’ve recorded earlier than.”
