But two years ago, Cam decided to walk away from Sony Nashvilleโs imprint Arista citing different values, but remaining under Sony on the RCA Record label based in New York.
The title track, a meticulously crafted country dance track, was co-written with acclaimed Swedish dance artist Avicii, whose real name was Tim Bergling.
She knew what she was getting into when she heard Smithโs easily recognizable voice on the demo for โHappier For You,โ a melancholic country song that fit well with Cam's aesthetic of moody and introspective country tunes.
