Miranda Lambert Shares Her ‘Mama’s Broken Heart’
"The reason I love this song is because it's about how sometimes when you get your heart broken, you kinda go a little bit crazy," Miranda Lambert confesses, introducing 'Mama's Broken Heart,' a track off her upcoming project, 'Four the Record.' "You drink too much, you smoke too much, you cut your hair ... you find a rebound. Sometimes your mama, if she's like my mama, has to slap you around and say, 'Straighten up girl!'"
The rough and tumble Texan previewed the track during her Sept. 8 performance at the Hulman Center on the Indiana State University campus. The singer admits that she is hopeful the song will find its way to radio soon, saying, "fingers crossed that it may be the next single off the record."

'Four The Record,' Miranda's fourth solo studio album, will be released in-stores and to digital retailers on Nov. 1. The collection features the Top 15 single, 'Baggage Claim,' which has become the singer's fastest-rising single to date. "'Baggage Claim' is different for me," Miranda tells WQYK radio. "It's got great grooves, and it's fun to sing live. It's an anthem for anyone who's tired of putting up with somebody's crap."
