Country music has always been about family for Cali Tucker, but with her new single "Last Name," she's ready to shine on her own. Premiering digitally on Taste of Country, "Last Name" is an empowering anthem that encourages self-confidence and joy.
Cali is the daughter of 1970s country star LaCosta Tucker and the niece of the legendary Tanya Tucker, giving her a rich musical background. However, instead of riding on the coattails of her famous family, she's determined to carve out her own path, and that's what "Last Name" is all about. The song celebrates strength and independence, highlighting a woman who finds her worth not from a prince but from her own determination.
The song was co-written with Derek Robertson, Tricia Battani, and Grammy-nominated G'harah "PK" Degeddingseze, blending powerful storytelling with Cali's incredible, strong, and heartfelt voice. The music video beautifully captures the song's emotional journey, reinforcing its message of empowerment.
"Last Name" debuted on the American Country Network on September 8. Fans can also check out the video online to experience Tucker's powerful message firsthand.
