SHOW DOG'S MICA ROBERTS RELEASES "DAYS YOU LIVE FOR"
Tune Moves From Song Idea To Single Selection In Record Time

(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) "Every once in a while, God reaches down and says, 'Here you go,'" Mica Roberts says of her new single, "Days You Live For." The song has grown from the seed of an idea to a single releasing nationwide to radio in a matter of days. And Roberts is as amazed as anyone.

Written by Roberts with Regie Hamm (David Cook's "Time Of My Life") and Lee Thomas Miller ("You're Gonna Miss This," "In Color"), the song had an inauspicious start. "Regie and I were in the studio and he was asking me how things were going," Roberts explains. "And it was just one of the days where I was kind of frustrated in general and kind of at a loss about what to do."

The discussion turned to days you live through versus days you live for. Lyrics flowed from there, musicians were brought in and a demo was cut. Mica took the demo to her producer Toby Keith, who also happens to be proprietor of her label, Show Dog Nashville. "He was like, 'Wow, is this the master?' And I said it can be! So Regie produced what ended up being the master," she says. "The whole thing happened in under a week. It's just one of those things that's meant to be."

"Day You Live For" impacts at radio September 28th, and is currently available digitally and as part of a four song EP of the same title which also includes "Things A Mama Don't Know," "Love In Everything," and "Tearing Down A Home."

Beyond the personal touch as a co-writer of the new track, Mica also brings world-class vocals to the single. Of course, vocal ability has never been a question. Her talents have been widely recognized from her school days to singing backing vocals for Faith Hill, Martina McBride and, now, Toby Keith, who recognized her potential as a self-contained recording artist by signing her to his label in 2008. Roberts charted that same year with the single "Things A Mama Don't Know."

The Oklahoma native continues to tour as part of Keith's Easy Money Band while writing and recording her own material for an upcoming Show Dog album.
