The lyrics to Mickey Guyton s song Black Like Me are so personal, she says she didn t even think she d share it when she wrote the song. The Grammy-nominated song reflects reality, but offers some hope and empowerment during a moving final chorus.
Emma Davidson Dillon, Nathan Chapman and Fraser Churchill helped Guyton write the lyrics to Black Like Me for her
Bridges EP in 2020. The singer had struggled for years at country radio, beginning with a debut single called Better Than You Left Me that was forgotten by programmers as quickly as they hailed it. Heartbreak Song followed, becoming her last charting country song to date.
