The next era of Lainey Wilson is seemingly upon us. She has been teasing a new song called “Can’t Sit Still” for a couple weeks now, and she previously shared a link to a website cantsitstill.com which gives fans a teaser of the new song.
But while on tour in New Zealand, she treated fans to a full performance of the new song, which has a really cool melody and upbeat production that finds her singing about how much she runs around, and has a restless soul, hence the title.
I imagine she wouldn’t be teasing it if it wasn’t set to be released soon, and considering she put out her most recent album Whirlwind in 2024, it would seem like it’s been long enough and new music could potentially be on the horizon.

In addition to some tour dates, Lainey is putting out a documentary called Lainey Wilson: Keepin’ Country Cool, which has been acquired by Netflix and follows her life juggling being a country music superstar. It was directed by Amy Scott and produced by Teton Ridge Entertainment, Sandbox Studios and MakeMake in association with Shark Pig Studios, and will be available on Netflix globally starting on April 22nd.
Lainey says it was a very “special project” to make, and she hopes the message of dreaming big, while staying true to who you are, is the secret to success no matter what you’re chasing:
“I couldn’t be more excited that this documentary is going to be on Netflix. This was such a special project to make, and I hope that folks who watch it see that no dream is too big and that staying true to who you are will always lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.”
She has also said she’s getting married to her longtime boyfriend turned fiancé Duck Hodges, though it sounds like the wedding planning has taken a backseat to their busy schedules, so it’s unclear when exactly they plan to tie the knot.
Either way, 2026 is shaping up to be another busy year for the country star, and new music might be part of the equation too. Stay tuned…
