Haley Mae Campbell - Dear Life (2025)

Independent artist Haley Mae Campbell is paving her own way in country music with over 30 million collective on-demand streams. Blending infectious pop melodies and conversational lyrics with a Celtic-inspired sound that honors her Irish roots, a listen through her debut album feels like catching up with a friend on FaceTime. From falling in love to letting go, decision-making to second-guessing, ‘Dear Life’ celebrates the confusing journey of coming into one’s own.

Her summer 2021 single “Never Been in Love” notched milestone in her career so far; after uploading a clip of the song to TikTok and Instagram Reels that has amassed over 70M views, the track followed through by debuting at #1 on the All Genre and Country iTunes Charts. “Seeing the response that the song received from fans, it was just the most wonderful and rewarding feeling,” she says. “I knew this was so much more than just my own story, and the fans really proved that.”

After the single’s incredible debut, traction continued to build as the song was featured on editorial playlists like Spotify’s “New Boots,” “Women of Country,” and more. Haley Mae was selected as one of CMT's “Next Up Now” featured artists, and the official video for “Never Been in Love” was premiered and put in rotation, in addition to being voted into the Hot 20 Countdown’s coveted Heatseeker Video of the Week spotlight. Additional fan favorites like “Champagne Problem” and “Thank You Card” helped to round out her “20Something” EP released March 17th, 2023.

Continuing the project’s momentum, Haley Mae was tapped for direct support on Alexandra Kay’s “All I’ve Ever Known” Tour in fall 2023. After playing over 20 shows from New York to LA, they closed out the run with a sold-out show at Nashville’s iconic Basement East. Haley Mae rejoined Alexandra on “All I’ve Ever Known” Tour II, and as she continues to release highly-anticipated singles including “Lucky Girl,” “8th Day,” and “Girl’s Girl,” teased to audiences throughout the tour.

Since she started releasing music in 2015, Campbell has opened for country stars including Billy Currington, Luke Combs, Brothers Osborne, Dan + Shay, David Nail, Lauren Alaina, Carly Pearce, Thompson Square and more. 2023 saw her appearing at London’s esteemed C2C Festival as well as Darius Rucker’s Riverfront Revival in her hometown of Charleston, SC.

At once playful and determined, Campbell is ready to knock down doors as she continues her ascent to stardom; however, she insists she’ll never lose sight of why she chose to make music in the first place. Says Campbell:
“My music is an honest reflection of my experience—pretty, ugly, and everything in between. With every song, my goal is to take the listener on a journey, paint them a picture and bring them along on the ride. I think that is truly what makes music special; when you can find yourself in someone else’s story.”
