With an empowering message that nothing is impossible, even your wildest dreams, the Gus Black-directed clip shows a 9-year-old version of Barrett who turns her childhood daydreams into a grown-up reality. “But you can do anything, anything you want to / There’s footprints on the moon,” she encourages in the inspirational anthem. In addition, viewers can spot another real-life dream come true, as Barrett welcomes her husband Cade Foehner and baby girl Baylah May onscreen as her costars.
“Her first single, ‘I Hope,’ mined her past; ‘The Good Ones’ celebrates her current life through her relationship with Foehner; and ‘Footprints’ is about creating her own future,” praises Billboard. Co-written by Barrett with “I Hope” collaborators Zach Kale and Jon Nite, “Footprints on the Moon” – off her GOLD-certified breakout GOLDMINE – is rising on Country radio as her current single with over 20 MILLION global streams to date.
Already leaving her own footprints on the genre, Barrett was just announced as one of the five honorees of the 2021 “CMT Artists of the Year” special to be celebrated live at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center on October 13 at 9 p.m. PT/8 p.m. CT. Her star power is undeniable as she also just tallied four nods – Song of the Year and Single of the Year for “The Good Ones,” Female Artist of the Year, and New Artist of the Year – as the MOST-NOMINATED female at The 55th Annual CMA Awards (11/10).
Currently on the road with Thomas Rhett’s THE CENTER POINT ROAD TOUR, fans can find full tour information on her website. She’ll next perform at the Daytime Stage of the all-genre iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, NV, tomorrow (9/18). Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, click here for tune in details.
