Today, she’s giving the people what they want with another new single. “Thing That Brought Me Here” sees Townes telling the story of her relocation to Nashville and sharing gratitude for the road that led her from Canada to Music City.

Tenille Townes on “Thing That Brought Me Here”
Townes spoke about the inspiration behind the song in a press release. “I wrote this song with Ben Rector about my truck that’s become a symbol of the dream for me and a piece of home,” she shared. “It’s the only thing that I’ve driven since I started driving and it drove me 47 hours to move to Nashville from Alberta ten years ago,” she added.
Then, she talked about what she hopes listeners get from the new single. “I want the story of ‘The Thing That Brought Me Here’ to live on through a song and I want it to be a reminder to anyone listening that our ambitions are worth holding on to and fighting for,” she explained. “If you would have told the high school kid driving this truck that she’d be living in Nashville writing and recording songs and touring the world, she’d be losing her mind. I never want to let go of that feeling,” Townes added.
