Country powerhouse Jo Dee Messina, the voice behind some of the biggest hits of the late 1990s and early 2000s — “Heads Carolina, Tails California,” “Bye Bye,” “I’m Alright,” “Stand Beside Me,” and her duet with Tim McGraw, “Bring On the Rain” — has officially returned to the studio.
It’s been more than ten years since Messina released her last full-length project, Me, in March 2014. Since then, she’s dropped a handful of standalone singles, but fans have been eagerly awaiting a full album — and it looks like the wait is almost over.

In the clip, she cheerfully greets fans, "Happy Sunday! It’s early, and we are here to rehearse the songs that we are going to record in the studio this week.”
Midway through the video, she added an on-screen caption that reads, “Just wrote this one,” before singing a lyric that instantly grabbed fans’ attention:
“Some bridges are meant to build and some bridges are meant to burn.”
One commenter wrote, “Yayy! New music, I’m excited to hear it. Can’t go wrong with a song that has lyrics like that in it.” When asked about a release date, Messina herself replied:
“They say ‘Q1,’ first quarter 2026. Not sure exact release date yet.”
