Carly Pearce Defends 'Church Girl' Amid Faith Controversy

Country singer Carly Pearce has recently addressed controversy surrounding her song "Church Girl," which has drawn criticism from some fans who perceived its lyrics as questioning faith. The song, penned by Carter Faith, Cameron Bedell, and Seth Ennis, explores the tension between human actions and religious doctrine.

Pearce stated in a recent interview that "Church Girl" is intended for listeners grappling with personal issues, such as questioning their sexuality or dealing with past traumas. She emphasized that the song does not endorse promiscuity or excessive drinking but rather offers solace to those facing complex life decisions. Pearce also drew upon her own life experiences, referencing her divorce and past struggles with sexual purity.

The singer is currently preparing to release a new album later this year. This follows the release of "Dream Come True," a previous track highlighting the sacrifices often made in pursuit of career aspirations.
