“This song means so much to me, and I can’t wait for everyone to experience the love and vulnerability we’ve poured into it,” Belles shares. The video perfectly captures the heart of the song, and I hope it connects with people just as deeply as it did for me when we made it.”
Belles co-wrote “Porcelain” with Nell Maynard and Cassidy Best, while the track was brought to life by the talented producer Sam Grow. The release of “Porcelain” comes on the heels of Belles’ previous single release “Trust Issues” and recent launch for her “What in the Truck” music video which reached number 2 on CMT Music’s 12-pack.
