Nearly fifteen months of being on hiatus, Miranda Lambert released “It All Comes Out in the Wash” in July 2019 as the lead-off single of her seventh studio album Wildcard.
“I think that it’s got some sarcasm to it, but it’s very honest. I haven’t had a single out in a long time, and I’m just ready to have new music. I’m in a new phase of my life and ready to have new music out there that represents that,” Lambert said of the song at the time of release. “This one just felt perfect as far as the vibe of it. It’s fun and lighthearted, and I’m really excited about it.”
And the song gave the blonde beauty her best opening on the Billboard charts in three years. “It All Comes Out in the Wash” remarkably peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and No. 12 on Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. By the end of the year, the uplifting little slice of sing-along honky-tonk country-pop earned Lambert a Best Country Song nomination during the 62nd Grammy Awards.
