MIRANDA Lambert has released yet another breakup anthem with powerful lyrics about not belonging to a man.
Her newest song comes after the country icon’s husband, Brendan McLoughlin, was seen grinding on women at her Nashville bar.

On Wednesday, Miranda, 40, released track 10 from her new LP Postcards From Texas, titled No Man’s Land.
Previously, she released Wranglers, Dammit Randy, and Alimony – all are break-up tracks featuring themes of sass, revenge, and wit.
However, Miranda’s new song struck a more vulnerable chord and was a reflective ballad.
The lyrics go, in part, “Even when she’s in your arms she’s still No Man’s Land.”

“So love her like a Mustang, like a wild thing, let her run free,” she sings in the chorus.
“If she wants to love ya, you let her love ya, you give her everything.”
Miranda shared a clip of the tune (alongside a full lyric video) on Instagram that seemed to be from an upcoming music video.
In it, she rode a horse with some gal pals into the sunset, making for a jaw-dropping scene.
“No Man’s Land is out now,” it was captioned. “It’s a song for anyone who wants to love girls like us…free spirits, wildflowers, wildcards with a big heart and lots of love to give.”
‘SPECIAL SONG’
Fans rode into the comments section praising the headstrong star and her killer new song.
“My favorite Miranda song yet, and I’ve been a fan for 20 something years,” one fan gushed.
“This song speaks to my heart/wild spirit unlike any other 🥹 Here’s to finding that special person who can love us without needing to tame us,” wrote another.
“It’s The Best Girl Song Right Now!” wrote a third.
‘NOT A WARNING!’
Miranda said the song is an homage to her free spirit in a press release.
“‘No Man’s Land’ is a love song to me, and it’s one of my favorite songs I’ve maybe ever written,” she shared.
“The lyrics just struck me—they were so beautiful, so raw. It felt like, ‘This is how I can explain it to the man who’s willing to love a girl like me—a free spirit, a wildflower, a wild card but with a big heart and all the love to give,’” she added.
“It’s that sentiment of ‘love her but leave her wild,’ and it’s not really a warning; it’s just a ‘let me tell you what you’re getting into, and if you want to jump off and take this ride with me, then let’s go,’” Lambert closed.
Miranda’s new album comes out on September 13, 2024.
CAUGHT IN THE ACT
The video came two months after Brendan was caught getting close with some women at Miranda’s bar Casa Rosa in Tennessee.
In a now-deleted video uploaded to TikTok, a customer captured Brendan allegedly getting up close and personal with a few female companions.
In the clip, the woman was seen wrapping her arms around Brendan’s neck.
“It was hours of him acting like this,” a source exclusively told The U.S. Sun.
SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
Shortly after, however, one of the women he was seen with shared her story to In Touch.
“Earlier in the night, we noticed him in the roped-off section at the front of the bar. “We recognized him, and we all thought it was cool that he was there, and mentioned hoping for a Miranda appearance,” she said.
“Somehow, later, we were let into the roped-off section where he was. I’m not sure how that was initiated or happened.”
The woman said Brendan was “friendly and casual, but never inappropriate or suggestive in any way.”
“He was gracious and polite and kind,” she said, clarifying also that “he was not flirty.”
The woman also made it a point to share that she and her friends left separately from him.
COUNTRY STRONG
On August 15, months after the incident, Miranda posted a smiling photo of herself and her husband during a trip to Italy.
The pic shut down rumors that the couple is separating.
“Thank you for your beauty, history, art, wine, gelato, sweetest people and the memories,” she wrote in the caption.
The couple looked tanned and in good spirits, both dressed to the nines while spending time traveling Italy.
It was also revealed that Brendan co-wrote one of the songs on Miranda’s new album.
Neither she nor he ever addressed his bar night on social media or via a statement.
Of course, Miranda has suffered heartbreak before, as she was involved in a highly publicized divorce from Blake Shelton.
