Zach Bryan‘s first album since his split from Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia and getting married to Samantha Leonard, With Heaven on Top, has arrived — and it looks like the country singer has quite a few things to say about both relationships.
Arriving Friday (Jan. 9), the LP’s most pointed song is arguably “Skin,” which finds Bryan referencing an ex with meaningful ink. LaPaglia notably has a “How lucky are we?” tattoo, the same phrase Bryan included in his song “28” in 2024. He also reportedly got a similar tattoo to match LaPaglia.
“I’m taking a blade to my old tattoos/ I’m draining the blood between me and you … And I ain’t never touching yours again,” he sings on the chorus, and in one of the verses: “Do you love people just to win when it’s over? … Do you still talk s–t on all your friends?”
Bryan also asks in the lyrics, “Are you walking ’round Tribeca with him?” — possibly referencing LaPaglia moving to New York City in late 2024 after their breakup.
Billboard has reached out to Bryan and LaPaglia’s reps for comment.
LaPaglia — who is a social media influencer and podcaster — dated Bryan from 2023 to 2024. After they split, she accused him of emotional abuse and alleged that his team had offered her millions of dollars to stay quiet about their relationship, which she says she declined.
On the last day of 2025, Bryan married Leonard, who is an artist. On another With Heaven on Top song, “Slicked Back,” the Grammy winner croons, “Used to know some folks who put it all online, but you paint landscapes in the evening time.”
LaPaglia hasn’t commented on her ex-boyfriend getting married, although she did post a TikTok shortly after Bryan’s wedding in which she mouths along to Taylor Swift’s “Mastermind.” Many of the commenters on the post interpreted it as shade toward Bryan, with one person writing, “Said a lot without saying nothing my queen.”
And while Bryan sings about taking his tattoo removal into his own hands, LaPaglia has said that she has no plans of parting with hers. In November 2024, she posted a TikTok explaining, “I see a lot of people being like, ‘Well, now I have to get my ‘How lucky are we?’ tattoo removed.’ That was my thing. That is my tattoo.”
“Now we’re matching. OK? Don’t get it removed,” she added in the clip. “This is mine. ‘How lucky are we?’ That was me.”
