Valentine’s Day Release Features Vince Gill on Background Vocals

Nashville, TN — Feb. 12, 2026 — Acclaimed singer-songwriter Stephanie Urbina Jones premieres the official music video for “Falling Fearlessly” in time for Valentine’s Day, a sweeping love song from her lauded album Manuel’s Destiny. The recording features Vince Gill on background vocals, adding a warm, emotional layer to the track.Co-written with Peggy Lynn Marchetti — daughter of country legend Loretta Lynn — the song was born during a late-night writing retreat in Mexico, where the two writers found inspiration under a full moon beside the Caribbean Sea. Returning to Nashville, they knew they had captured something rare: a love song about surrender, courage, and the beauty of falling without fear.For Urbina Jones, recording “Falling Fearlessly” also serves as a heartfelt tribute to one of her earliest musical heroes, Linda Ronstadt. Inspired by Ronstadt’s fearless movement across genres — from country rock and pop to traditional Mexican music — Urbina Jones has forged her own signature blend she calls Honky Tonk Mariachi, honoring both her heritage and her San Antonio/Nashville roots.Her musical connection with Gill traces back more than a decade, when Gill invited Urbina Jones and her Honky Tonk Mariachi to perform with the Grammy-winning The Time Jumpers at Nashville’s 3rd & Lindsley. After witnessing her groundbreaking fusion of mariachi and country, Gill told her he would be honored to sing with her on a future recording. Years later, that promise comes to life on “Falling Fearlessly,” one of Urbina Jones’s favorite tracks from Manuel’s Destiny.The official music video was filmed in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, by Cinnetica Films. Centered on a love story between a Hispanic man and a white woman — reflecting Urbina Jones’ own family heritage — the visual captures the passion, vulnerability, and courage of love without borders. Dancers Hannah McCarthy and Arturo Jimenez Cano from Nashville and Mexico bring the story to life in what she calls a “theater of love,” the video captures the passion and vulnerability at the heart of the song’s message:“The heart has no borders. It loves who it loves. When it calls you, follow it — it always knows the way,” states Urbina Jones.With its romantic imagery, cross-cultural spirit, and timeless message, this Valentine’s Day love letter—the Falling Fearlessly music video—offers a moving reminder to follow love wherever it leads.

I’m reckless with emotions they are beyond my control  I can’t stop these feelings so I’m just letting go  I’m falling, Baby I’m falling  Baby I’m falling, Baby I’m falling fearlessly“Falling Fearlessly”
