Songfacts®:

  • "Those Kind of Women" is a love letter to the formidable, unwavering women who shaped Lauren Alaina's life. It's a song steeped in Southern imagery, where sweet tea flows as freely as wisdom and the soundtrack of childhood is an ever-spinning mix of Dolly and Dylan.

    "It's all about the women who raised me," Alaina told People. "I was really fortunate to be raised around a bunch of very strong women."
  • When Alaina first recorded this Lainey Wilson, Derek George, Lynn Hutton, and Monty Criswell-penned song, she wasn't pregnant. By the time she listened to the mastered track, she and her husband, Cam Arnold, were holding onto a secret that would soon make her part of the very lineage she was singing about.

    "I didn't know I could love something I haven't even really held yet," she marveled. "It's like I was the Grinch or something, and my heart grew."
  • The song's music video, directed by Justin Clough, captures the full circle moment. It depicts chapters of Alaina's life, starting with her mother preparing to have baby Lauren. The singer's mom, Kristy Suddeth, appears in person at the end along with a visibly pregnant Alaina.
