Today (August 21), Miranda Lambert gave fans another sample from her forthcoming album Postcards from Texas. Previously, she released “Wranglers,” “Dammit Randy,” and “Alimony.” All of those songs have been up-tempo breakup tracks featuring sass, vengeance, and tongue-in-cheek humor. Lambert took a different path with today’s release. “No Man’s Land” is a vulnerable and reflective ballad.

Lambert co-penned the track with her frequent collaborator Luke Dick. The pair have worked together on many of the Texas native’s biggest hits and fan favorites including “Bluebird,” “Settling Down,” and “Actin’ Up.” The chemistry between the two songwriters is on full display in this song about a woman who lives life on her own terms while embodying the beauty and splendor of nature. Watch the official lyric video for “No Man’s Land” below.
Miranda Lambert on “No Man’s Land”
Miranda Lambert spoke about “No Man’s Land” in a press release. “‘No Man’s Land’ is a love song to me, and it’s one of my favorite songs I’ve maybe ever written,” she shared. “When Luke sent me the initial idea, the lyrics just struck me—they were so beautiful, so raw. It felt like, ‘This is how I can explain it to the man who’s willing to love a girl like me—a free spirit, a wildflower, a wild card but with a big heart and all the love to give,’” she added.
“It’s that sentiment of ‘love her but leave her wild,’ and it’s not really a warning; it’s just a ‘let me tell you what you’re getting into, and if you want to jump off and take this ride with me, then let’s go,’” Lambert explained.
