"I'm in the whole songwriting and song-picking process," she told Billboard. "We're in the very early stages of working on it. It's always great to have new music out-to freshen up the set list, and it's exciting for the country fans. They are always eager to have new music."

Pickler said when she works on an album, she typically lives with the music for a year. "Then you send it off for the copies to be made, and the artwork to be produced and distributed. That takes months," she said. "So you've lived with the album for almost a year before anyone hears it. Then, by the time it comes out, you're ready for the next one, because you've sung it a million times-but not for anyone outside of your circle."
