NASHVILLE, TN (June 20, 2025) – Stone Country Records’ newest signing, girl-next-door singer-songwriter Lakelin Lemmings, today released “American Dreamin’,” her “Red, white and blue sky reachin’” debut track on the label.

WATCH the official visualizer HERE.Lakelin, a 19-year-old West Tennessee native, began performing in talent shows and local festivals at the age of six and was writing and recording her own music in Nashville by the time she turned 12. The country prodigy inked her first Music City publishing deal at just 17 and amassed more than 100,000 followers on TikTok before signing an artist deal with Stone Country Records earlier this month.
On “American Dreamin’,” Lakelin spells out all the things that shaped her: small towns, a supportive family, a dedication to faith, and, of course, country music. But while her lyric – co-written with Neal Coty (Mark Chesnutt’s country standard “She Was”) and Ash Bowers (Matt Stell’s No. 1 smash “Prayed for You”) – honors Lakelin's small-town roots, it also warns, “Look out world, here I come.” Bowers produced the inspiring, mid-tempo track, whose high-energy singalong chorus is propelled by defiant electric guitars and dream-chasing drums.
Hometown touchdown Friday
Daddy’s girl raised up the right way
Four wheels flyin’ down the highway
Look out world, here I come
Born country always gonna be it
Good book you bet I believe it
Red, white, and blue sky reachin’
Small town American dreamin’
“‘American Dreamin’’ is really the story of my life,” says Lakelin. “It starts out saying I grew up in the heartland, couple miles off the main road, singing along to every country song, and that is me. The song sets the tone for who I am and is the perfect introduction to listeners, who probably have had the same experiences I did. I want them to all know that they’re not alone.”
Inspired by down-home female storytellers from Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire to Miranda Lambert, Lakelin’s songwriting is built around connection and communication with her audience. She strives to let listeners – and especially girls her own age — know that they’re seen and heard.
On June 7 and 8, Lakelin created a rising-star buzz with two full-band shows for Quartz Hill Records and Stone Country Records’ Takeover Nights at Chief’s on Broadway during CMA Fest. Fans can follow Lakelin on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook to be notified of other summer shows as they are added.
