Songfacts®:

• This ballad tells the tale of a small town teenage couple named Katie and Tommy who want to get married. Penned by Jon Ims (Rebs McEntire's "Fallin' Out of Love"), it was recorded by Trisha Yearwood and released as the lead single from her self-titled debut album. The song became the first of five #1s on the country chart for the singer.
• Yearwood re-recorded the tune 24 years later for her PrizeFighter: Hit After Hit compilation album. The singer admitted to USA Today that the song sounds different due to changes in her voice. "I definitely had to channel the 26-year-old Trisha for 'She's in Love With the Boy,'" she said. "I think my voice is just, it sounds more mature to me. It sounds like it's a little fuller, a little deeper, and I like it. I like it now, better. I don't know when it starts to go the other way, you know, but right now I really like where it is."
• When this reached #1, Yearwood became the first female singer to top the country charts with her debut single since Connie Smith did the same with "Once A Day" in 1964.
• When Trisha Yearwood agreed to induct Carly Pearce into the Grand Ole Opry on August 3, 2021, she expected just to perform and welcome the Opry's newest member. But the country star was in for a big surprise when Pearce and Billboard Senior Vice President Silvio Pietroluongo presented her with a special award. They revealed that "She's in Love With the Boy" ranks as the most-listened-to country song by a female artist since MRC Data started measuring radio audience in 1991.
