NASHVILLE, TN - May 28, 2026 - Rising Asian-American country artist Bella Lam is kicking off the summer with the release of her highly anticipated new single, “Bootfirst,” arriving June 26. Ahead of the release, Lam is gearing up for a week of performances, fan events, and appearances during CMA Music Festival.

Fans can now pre-save “Bootfirst” (HERE) ahead of its release.

Named in Holler’s “10 Artists You Need To Know” and praised by Chattanooga Pulse as “one of the fastest-rising emerging voices in country music,” Lam has built a rapidly growing fanbase through relentless touring, performing more than 100 live shows annually while amassing over 83,000 followers across social media platforms.

Fueled by fearless ambition and free-spirited energy, “Bootfirst” captures the drive of a rising artist willing to take risks in pursuit of her dreams — a theme that closely reflects Lam’s own journey through country music. Bold, adventurous, and undeniably fun, the track delivers an electrifying soundtrack for late-night drives, spontaneous adventures, and the kind of all-or-nothing mindset that embraces uncertainty and dives headfirst into whatever comes next.

“‘Bootfirst’ is a summer anthem about diving headfirst into something without overthinking it or second-guessing yourself — just going all in, with no in-between,” says Bella Lam. “I think everyone has experienced that feeling at some point, and I hope this song brings people together in that way. I’m excited to release a song that feels like summer with your friends — whether you’re blasting it at a pool party, driving with the windows down, or making memories under the sun.”

Produced by Lowell Reynolds, “Bootfirst” was co-written by Lam alongside Jessica Cayne and Kayliann Lowe, and recorded at Blackbird Studio.

Lam teased her upcoming single “Bootfirst” and upcoming CMA Fest appearances on social media earlier this week, sharing exclusive preview content with fans (HERE).

ASIAN AMERICAN COUNTRY ARTIST BELLA LAM RELEASES 

HEARTBREAK-FUELED SINGLE “TAKE IT OUT ON MY GUITAR” TODAY

'“Write It, Don’t Text It” TikTok Series Reveals Fans’ Real Breakup Confessions Every Wednesday In February

“Tennessee’s most promising new voices in country music.”
- Chattanooga’s Top 40 Station, WDOD-FM (Hits 96)

NASHVILLE, TN (Feb. 13, 2026) - Asian American country artist Bella Lam’s new single, “Take It Out On My Guitar,” is out today. With more than 60,000 followers on TikTok, Lam has cultivated a loyal and steadily growing audience, fueled by her candid storytelling and her viral “Write It, Don’t Text It” series, with her following jumping from 47,000 to over 60,000 in just four weeks. Named in Holler.’s 10 Artists You Need To Know, “Take It Out On My Guitar” has already been featured in New Scene Magazine, Guitar Girl Magazine, The Pop Break, and more. “Take It Out On My Guitar” is available on all digital streaming platforms here: https://unitedmasters.com/m/take-it-out-on-my-guitar 

“I’ve always been pretty non-confrontational,” Bella shares. “So instead of saying everything that I’m feeling in the moment, I tend to bottle it up and pour it into my songwriting. ‘Take It Out On My Guitar’ is really about choosing that path. Sure, I could go full Carrie Underwood on someone’s car — but I’d much rather channel that energy into a kick-ass song.”

With “Take it Out On My Guitar,” Bella turns heartache into fuel, pouring every ounce of hurt and fire into a song that hits just as hard as the heartbreak. With nods to country heavyweights like Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, and The Chicks, she proves that sometimes the best revenge isn’t a dramatic scene—it’s a melody he can’t escape.

“Take It Out On My Guitar” was co-written by Lam alongside Lauren McLamb (Dierks Bentley, Josh Ross, Dylan Marlowe) and Chris Rafetto (Eddie Montgomery, Emmy Russell, and Kelsey Lamb), and produced by Matthew Morrisey.

The single follows weeks of fan engagement through Lam’s interactive “Write It, Don’t Text It” TikTok series, a breakup hotline where listeners share the messages they wish they could send to their exes. The confessional series has drawn fans nationwide and continues with new episodes every Wednesday in February.

Listen to the latest episode of “Write It, Don’t Text It” (HERE).

Earlier this week, Lam celebrated the release of her new single with a special pre-release show at Songbirds in Chattanooga, where she performed a full band set as Bella Lam and The Boys. The performance gave fans an early preview of the track and marked one of the first opportunities to hear the song live ahead of its official release.

“Take It Out On My Guitar” follows Lam’s previously released song “Tears In My Tequila,” co-written with Jason Blaine and Benji Cowart.

Lauded as “one of the fastest-rising emerging voices in country music” (Chattanooga Pulse), the 23-year-old multi-instrumentalist was born in Nashville and raised in West Tennessee. Lam performs well over 100 shows each year, including performances at the legendary Bluebird Cafe. She is currently on tour and has previously performed with artists including Candi Jenkins, Daniel Donato, and Strung Like A Horse. For more information, visit https://bellalammusic.com/

Born in Nashville and raised in West Tennessee, the 23-year-old songwriter and multi-instrumentalist is already building a resume that matches her ambition. She’s performed at the legendary Bluebird Cafe, continues to grow a fast-rising fanbase online, and spends most weekends on the road fronting Bella Lam and The Boys, all while completing her music degree at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga.

One of just a few songwriters of Asian descent in country music, Lam’s musical roots were nurtured early on by her grandfather—an immigrant from China who encouraged his grandchildren to learn instruments, instilling a lifelong passion that now fuels her bold sound.

Lam’s journey to the stage hasn’t been easy—it’s been shaped by resilience and determination. Born prematurely, Bella faced significant medical challenges at birth, including collapsed lungs that left her struggling to breathe. She later underwent years of occupational and speech therapy to overcome a severe lisp and fine motor difficulties—obstacles that once made a career in music feel out of reach.

“What I’m doing now used to be an impossible dream,” Lam says. “I couldn’t be more grateful.”

With “Take It Out On My Guitar,” Bella continues to establish herself as a rising voice in country music, pairing heartfelt storytelling with a growing national audience as she heads into 2026. “Take It Out On My Guitar” follows her previously-released song “Tears In My Tequila,” co-written with Jason Blaine and Benji Cowart. 

Bella is currently on tour in support of her new music, and will be performing a special pre-release show on Sat., Jan. 24th at 7:00p.m. at Songbirds in Chattanooga, Tenn., where she currently resides. Tickets for the show are on sale (HERE). For more tour dates and information, visit https://bellalammusic.com/.
