When Oakley returned to Nashville, that all changed when she was invited to McEntire's office for a celebration of the single's success. I'm 10 times the fan now that I've gotten to know her. Search term. Billboard Pro Subscribe Sign In. Top Artists. Top Charts. Hot Songs. Billboard Top Videos.

She'd got my permission for the song over the phone, and I did give it to her with the stipulation of, 'I want to meet you some day and I want to know that this song will be a single! We had tried many times to meet and it just never happened. Did you get to spend any time with her behind the scenes that we didn't see?
After we all flew home I finally had the experience of going to her big corporation Starstruck, and they had a big number one party there, so I got to hang out with her and talk. She ran up to me and gave me the biggest hug and has just been incredible. She sent me the most amazing beautiful vase from Tiffany's and a card and she's just, she's my favorite person in the whole world!
I was such a huge fan of hers - she's been an idol of mine my whole life - and God just works in such mysterious ways and I'm just so thankful to experience this journey. It's just been unbelievable. What is next for you as an artist? I definitely would love to continue pitching songs to other artists - it's the coolest thing in the world to hear somebody sing your song and the way that they interpret it - but I do want to use this opportunity, platform and exposure to finally make my dream happen and get a record deal.
I'm going to pursue that like nobody's business! I'm going to pursue every record label in town. I've worked for so many years and I worked so hard and I've had a lot of incredible things happen but I've had a lot of painful things happen too. I feel like I've come too far to walk away and give up at this point in time, so I'm just thrilled and thankful for the exposure.
I definitely want to use it to my advantage. I've already got a couple of gigs that I'm in the middle of booking because of the show and I look forward to making my first record this year.
