Ahead of Debut EP

Porch Music’s “Artist to Watch in 2026” blends classic country
storytelling with modern, vocal-driven momentum on her first release of
the year.
Release Date: Friday, March 6 2026
“Leavin’ On My Lips” is a musical ode to the feeling of wanting someone you love around, where being in the same room is simply enough. Born from a collaborative writing session, the upbeat, sweet, and light-hearted, love song offers a glimpse into Rose's upcoming EP, and will be available everywhere on Friday, March 6 2026.
Light-hearted and sincere, Brettyn Rose's "Leavin' On My Lips" is a modern country song that captures the exhilaration of having someone worth missing. Written during her first-ever trip to Nashville, “Leavin’ On My Lips” came to life alongside songwriters Chris Yurchuk and Jesse Slack, launched from an unforgettable hook and the feeling of wanting to be around the one you love. Opening unaccompanied, her vocal stands alone before the arrangement gradually widens, allowing the verses to move with an easy, conversational cadence, building naturally into a soaring chorus where Rose's range expands with confidence and control. On "Leavin' On My Lips", the instrumentation supports rather than competes, putting the strength of Rose's vocals on full display, allowing her voice to shape the melody. The standout mid-song guitar solo adds texture to the upbeat track, with Rose noting the numerous takes of it were all worthy. With "Leavin' On My Lips,” Rose blends timeless country sensibilities with windows-down energy, to create a track that stands as both a celebration of love and a confident statement of an artist stepping fully into her next chapter.
Quote: “‘Leavin’ On My Lips’ is about that feeling when you want to be around the person you love all the time. It doesn’t matter if you’re sitting at home or out on an adventure, just having them around is what matters most. It’s a fun, upbeat love song that anyone can crank up and enjoy.” - Brettyn Rose
