American Idol Season 20 runner-up HunterGirl has finally released her much-anticipated single “Hometown Out of Me,” along with a music video for the song filmed in said hometown of Winchester, Tennessee.
HunterGirl Releases “Hometown Out of Me” Video
The video starts with a shot of HunterGirl playing a concert for a huge crowd in Winchester. This is followed by clips of the singer performing the track around town, intercut with old family footage of her as a kid.
The song is all about how HunterGirl will remain the same person her hometown knows, even as she travels the world and pursues a music career. As she sings on the chorus, “An apple’s still an apple when it’s nowhere near the tree / You can take me out of my hometown / But you can’t take my hometown out of me.”
“My hometown has supported my dream since I was a little girl and especially through this crazy year of my life,” she wrote on Instagram. “I wanted my first single following the show to be a thank you card to my hometown and everyone in it. The reason I get to chase my dream is because of the amazing people who have supported me.”
The singer has been teasing this song for months now, sharing a snippet on social media for fans back in June. Earlier this month, it was reported that HunterGirl had signed a record deal with 19 Recordings/BMG.
