Let’s just get this out of the way—if your summer playlist doesn’t have Emily Roth’s new single “White Boots” on it, you’re doing it wrong.
Fresh off the heels of buzzworthy performances opening for country heavyweights like Sam Hunt and Dan + Shay, Emily Roth is back in the spotlight with a toe-tappin’, honky-tonk-ready anthem that feels as classic as a neon sign flickering on Broadway and as fresh as a Sunday morning in Wilmington. Born in Knoxville and raised in the salt-kissed air of North Carolina’s coast, Roth brings a unique blend of grit, grace, and southern storytelling to the country scene—and “White Boots” is the perfect introduction to her world if you haven’t stepped into it yet.
“White Boots” isn’t just a song. It’s a vibe. It's that moment when you're standing in front of the mirror, slipping on your favorite pair of cowgirl boots, knowing the night’s about to be legendary. Roth taps into something beautifully familiar with this track—drawing from her Tennessee roots while giving a modern edge that could only come from someone who’s lived both the mountain highs and coastal breezes.
It’s country to the bone, but it’s not trying to be retro. Think Miranda Lambert’s spirit with a little Kacey Musgraves shimmer, delivered through Emily’s signature voice—raw, warm, and full of fire. “White Boots” is the song you queue up when the pre-game starts, when the truck doors swing open, and when you finally hit that old hardwood dance floor under the string lights. It’s the pulse of Nashville, bottled in three and a half minutes of boot-stompin’ gold.
Let’s talk about those boots. Symbolically and literally, white boots represent something deeper in Emily's world. They’re not just a fashion statement (although yes, they go with everything)—they’re a piece of her story. A nod to strong Southern women who show up, stand tall, and dance through heartbreak, high times, and hellfire if they have to.
And when Emily sings about them, you feel it. That mix of vulnerability and strength, of rooted tradition and bold rebellion—it’s what makes her music resonate so powerfully. She’s not here to play a character. She is the story she’s singing, and that’s the magic.
With each release, Roth isn’t just adding tracks to her catalog—she’s building a legacy. “White Boots” is a defining moment in what’s shaping up to be a breakout year for her. And if the packed crowds at Live Nation’s VIP lounges and her opening gigs for chart-toppers are any indication, she’s well on her way to headliner status herself.
So dust off those boots, turn it up, and get ready to move. Emily Roth’s “White Boots” is here, and it’s everything country music’s been needing.
Y’all ready? Because she’s just getting started.
