About the song
Reba McEntire’s life has been filled with chart-topping hits and dazzling stage lights, but behind the glittering spotlight is a woman who has faced profound heartbreak, loss, and the quiet struggle of starting over. Her journey reminds us that even the strongest among us sometimes fall — but it’s how we rise that defines us.
In 2015, after 26 years of marriage, Reba went through a painful divorce from her husband and longtime manager, Narvel Blackstock. The end of their relationship didn’t just signal the loss of a partner — it dismantled the support system that had surrounded her for decades. In later interviews, Reba candidly shared that the divorce was not her decision, a revelation that added a deeper layer to her grief.
But in the face of that emotional collapse, Reba did what few could: she stood back up. She turned to the one thing that had always given her strength — music. Her 2019 album, “Stronger Than the Truth,” wasn’t just a return to her roots in traditional country; it was a raw, honest reflection of a woman rediscovering herself. Through each lyric, listeners could hear a heart that had been broken — but not silenced.
Today, Reba McEntire stands not just as a country music legend but as a symbol of resilience. Her story shows that starting over doesn’t mean weakness — it means courage. It means finding your voice again when the world thinks you’ve been quieted. Reba’s strength reminds us that healing is possible, even after the deepest wounds — and that sometimes, the second act can be even more powerful than the first.
