After retiring from music at age 26 in 2017, Jordan Pruitt is making a significant return to the industry. Pruitt, who gained fame in the mid-2000s with hits like "Outside Looking In," announced her retirement due to personal struggles.
She is set to release a re-recorded version of "Outside Looking In" on Friday, September 25th, as an independent artist. This release marks her return to music after nearly a decade.
Pruitt's career began at 15 with "Outside Looking In," which was featured in the Disney Channel Original Movie "Read It and Weep." The song's success propelled her from a small town in Georgia to Hollywood.
The singer also faced personal challenges, including a lawsuit alleging abuse from a former manager, which was settled out of court in 2020. Pruitt also achieved sobriety in 2023, an accomplishment she describes as life-changing.
Looking ahead, Pruitt is also working on a memoir, tentatively titled "On the Inside Looking Out," which will detail her sobriety journey and experiences in the spotlight. She is scheduled to perform her first show in over a decade at The Franklin Theatre in Franklin, Tennessee.
