The\u00a0Yellowstone<\/em>\u00a0actress\u2019 latest song is already causing quite a stir when she performed it at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Entitled \u201cPeople Need Jesus,\u201d the track\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0quite what you expect based on its title.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Song Born\u00a0from\u00a0a Candid Conversation\u00a0<\/h2>\n
\n

In a TikTok video of the performance, the\u00a0\u201c4x4xU\u201d<\/a>\u00a0singer shared the funny story behind the song\u2019s conception, which stemmed from a candid conversation with co-writer Trannie Anderson about some juicy gossip, and how some \u201cpeople need Jesus.\u201d\u00a0Wilson recalled, \u201cThat next morning, I was\u00a0laying\u00a0in bed, and I was like, \u2018Okay, let me think about some people back at home….Let\u00a0me think about these people\u2019.\u00a0And I sent this first verse…\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Witty and Biting Lyrics\u00a0<\/h2>\n
\n

The first verse goes: \u201cPreacher got caught with a trifling woman \/ It wasn’t his sweet, little wife\u00a0\/\u00a0Terry and Tamara had […] a camera\u00a0\/\u00a0Just for a Facebook fight\u00a0\/\u00a0An \u2018ol\u00a0boy named Paul he was running from the law\u00a0\/\u00a0Yelled, \u2018Hey y\u2019all, watch this\u2019\u00a0\/\u00a0When the sun went dim, aw Bill took a swim\u00a0\/\u00a0Right where the alligator sits.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lainey revealed that she was\u00a0mid text-exchange\u00a0with Trannie when Dallas Wilson woke up and asked what they were up to. Her response? \u201cWe\u2019re writing a song through text messaging!\u201d Naturally, Dallas was officially in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The CMA Entertainer of the Year also said that she\u00a0was\u00a0inspired by a sermon: \u201cSo\u00a0I watched this sermon.\u00a0There\u2019s\u00a0this preacher named Robert Madu. He preaches out of Dallas [at] this church called Social Dallas\u2026 And he was talking about discord, you know, talking bad about people\u2026 And as I was writing this song, talking bad about these people…this is what I thought to myself…\u201d \u201cI\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0sew, but\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0sowing discord\u00a0\/\u00a0And I know that it just\u00a0ain\u2019t\u00a0right\u00a0\/\u00a0So when\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0time for bed, Imma read a little red\u00a0\/\u00a0Pray a little extra tonight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
