"Baby don't let me linger any longer if you don't/ Want me to fall like a domino," Johnson sings. "Like a sunset sinking down in Mexico/ Like a drop of rain when the thunder rolls/ Like a cowboy riding in a rodeo/ Baby don't."

"Baby Don't" was penned by Music City mainstays Lori McKenna, Liz Rose and Hillary Lindsey, known collectively as The Love Junkies.

"'Baby Don't' is a song from my fun and flirty side," Johnson tells Wide Open Country. "This is the first song that I have recorded and released and not been a writer on, but it's written by three of my top songwriting lady heroes in Nashville -- Lori McKenna, Liz Rose and Hillary Lindsey. The first time I heard 'Baby Don't' I instantly knew it was made for me. I had a lot of fun creating some new and different sounds on this song that my listeners may or may not expect from me!"

Johnson is a three-time Carolina Music Awards winner. The Belmont University Alum has opened for James Otto, Neal McCoy, Scotty McCreery and more. She released her debut EP Big Girl World in 2019.
