Aleyce Simmonds Reflects on Life Lessons with Heartfelt New Single “Things I’ve Learned”
Award-winning country artist Aleyce Simmonds is back with a poignant and deeply personal single, “Things I’ve Learned,” set for release on January 17. Inspired by her one-year-old daughter, Georgia, this new track takes listeners on a journey through life’s triumphs and tribulations.
Written during her pregnancy, the song is a reflection of the highs and lows that have shaped Aleyce’s life. “When I couldn’t sleep, I’d sit at my desk and just write. At the time, I wasn’t feeling well, but the words just fell out of me,” Aleyce said. “It’s surreal to think that without the hard times, I wouldn’t have Georgia – this beautiful baby.”
“Things I’ve Learned” explores universal themes of heartbreak, resilience, and hope, embodying the transformative power of life’s challenges. For Aleyce, these “little pockets of light” culminated in her daughter, who has brought newfound joy and purpose to her life.
The single was produced by Simon Johnson at Hillbilly Hut Studios and features harmonies from Karlee and Michael Cole, Vaughan Jones on keys, Rod Motbey on guitars, and Brad Bergen on drums. Additional recording took place at Enrec Studios in Tamworth with Steve Newton.
This release marks a significant milestone in Aleyce’s career, celebrating 20 years since her breakout hit, “Mighty Mighty Love,” which became the most played country song on commercial radio in history. Aleyce plans to honor this milestone with new music and performances throughout the year, starting with her Tamworth Country Music Festival show, 20 Years of Songs & Stories, on January 23 at The Bluebird Room.
Reflecting on her journey, Aleyce said, “Since having Georgia, I’ve felt my fire reignite. I want her to be proud of me and know the incredible places I’ve been and the things I’ve done – almost as if they’re her own.”
“Things I’ve Learned” is more than just a song; it’s an invitation for listeners to reflect on their own lives, drawing strength from the past to embrace the future.
