Gabby Barrett has shared her latest single “Ain’t Supposed To Be,” announcing the song in a post on Instagram which features it playing in the background while a compilation of memories with her husband Cade Foehner is showing in a video montage, stating that “proof that love doesn’t wait for the perfect moment… It just shows up.”

The new ballad is the follow-up to Barrett’s “The Easy Part,” that dropped in August. The two songs are the latest releases from Barrett since her sophomore country album Chapter & Verse dropped in February 2024; that album was followed by her first Christmas project Carols and Candlelight in November 2024.

“Ain’t Supposed To Be” was written with Jon Nite, Ross Copperman, and Chase McGill and produced by Copperman and Zach Kale, described in a press release as “a gorgeously cinematic but true-to-life track .. which tells the story of an unlikely romance between two restless souls.” Stream “Ain’t Supposed To Be” – HERE.

Barrett also announced that she will be releasing a deluxe edition of Carols and Candlelight, featuring two all-new songs from Barrett – including a rendition of “Where Are You Christmas,” (available to stream now).

The digital edition of Carols and Candlelight (Deluxe) will be available on November 7th, with the vinyl editions released on November 21st. Preorder: HERE.
