NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Rising singer/songwriter and powerhouse performer Annie Bosko releases her rousing anthem “Country Girls! (Who Runs the World),” available now via Stone Country Records. Celebrating the grit and grace of women who do it all, the new track blends honky-tonk swagger with girl-power pride. Listen HERE.

“It’s no secret that being a woman in country music means working twice as hard with half the time,” shares Bosko. “There’s constant pressure – around age, appearance and how you present yourself. Guys can show up in a ball cap and jeans, but it doesn’t work that way for us. Female artists have always made up a smaller slice of the country music marketplace. But when they break through, they break through big.
 
“Growing up, Shania Twain lit my world on fire. She made me feel powerful – like I could be bold, feminine, sexy, smart, fiery and fun all at once,” she adds. “That’s what I hope this song does: sparks that fire and makes women feel fearless and ready to take on the world.”
 
“Country Girls! (Who Runs the World)” arrives with an original line dance, brought to life earlier this month in a surprise flash mob at CMA Fest, where Bosko joined forces with a group of line dancers from Nashville Dance Fest at the Ariat storefront in downtown Nashville. Watch the flash mob HERE and watch a tutorial for the original line dance HERE.
 
Written by Bosko alongside David “Messy” Mescon and Bridgette Tatum, who also co-produced the track, the new release opens with blazing harmonica followed by a catchy call-and-response chorus, as the song nods to the everyday hustle of country women:
 
      She’s a neon night 
      She’s mama tried
      She’s a cowboy, she’s a lady
      She’s 9 to 5
      And 5 to 9
      Raisin’ hell and babies
      Hot as mama’s fried chicken
      Keeps her boots kickin’
 
      Woohoo woohoo woohoo who runs the world
      Woohoo woohoo woohoo who runs the world
      Country girls
 
Today’s release follows “God Winks,” a tribute to faith and divine timing during moments of uncertainty. The California native brought the song to RFD-TV’s “On the Record” and Fox 11’s “Good Day LA” in Los Angeles, as she continues to build momentum towards her debut LP later this year.
 
Bosko is set to perform at Country Summer Music Festival in Santa Rosa, California this Sunday, June 29 and the North Dakota State Fair on July 20 before heading to Headwaters Country Jam on July 25.

About Annie Bosko
With a voice that beams like a ray of California sunshine, singer-songwriter Annie Bosko returns to the studio, channeling fresh inspiration into a new chapter of music. Writing alongside David ‘Messy’ Mescon, Jeffrey Steele, Bridgette Tatum, and more, and collaborating with producer Trent Willmon, Bosko is crafting songs that reflect her upbringing as a farmer’s daughter. With fresh releases such as “Country Girls! (Who Runs the World),” “God Winks” and “California Cowgirl,” Bosko embraces her west coast roots that run deep in the heart of California’s agricultural country. Her forthcoming debut album on Stone Country Records showcases a sound shaped by ‘90s country twang and raw, heartfelt storytelling. Her self-titled EP saw the Golden State native making her late-night debut on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” with a performance of “Neon Baby” – a track that also marked her first charting single at Country radio. Bosko followed her acclaimed EP with stunning collaborations featuring country icons including Vince Gill on the reflective ballad “Higher Ground” and Dwight Yoakam on the Bakersfield-rooted “Heart Burn.” Top 40 duet “Better Than You” with Joe Nichols hit the Country radio airwaves as a top five most-added song for five consecutive weeks, including one week before impact. Bosko broke out in 2014 with the SiriusXM/CMT hit “Crooked Halo,” which has amassed more than 3 million streams, earning her a title as an Artist to Watch from Rolling Stone Country. She went on to write songs recorded by Willie Nelson and Jessica Simpson, tour alongside Tim McGraw, Dierks Bentley and Blake Shelton, sell out the famed Troubadour and perform on the Grand Ole Opry and at Ryman Auditorium while also becoming an in-demand studio vocalist. Fresh off a Mane Stage performance at Stagecoach and her Rodeo Houston debut, Bosko is set to perform at Country Summer Music Festival, the North Dakota State Fair, and Headwaters Country Jam later this summer.
