VIDEO PREMIERE: Emily Joy - ‘A Little Part Of Me’

Coastal cowgirl Emily Joy’s new single, A Little Part Of Me, came out a week ago, but today, in a Countrytown exclusive, we have the premiere of her music video.

The song centres around a love triangle of sorts - the constant struggle of a girl between her current partner and her ex, who she isn’t completely over. Following the same story, the video cuts between flashbacks of Joy happy with her ex, and current videos of her unhappy with the new boyfriend. In between these scenes are picturesque views of Western Australia while Joy sings to the viewer about not being able to let the past go.

“The song is about being caught between two lovers. One is your current lover and current partner, who is like, paper perfect, he does everything right, he’s a nice, normal guy, but he’s safe. That’s why you’re with him,” Joy explained in an Instagram post. 

“But you’re actually still hung up and caught up on your previous love, which was that wild, intoxicating, thrilling, romantic love, like really deep true love that you haven’t really ever been able to get over since. You have that fear of, ‘What if I never get over you?’, and a little part of you feels like you never will, and it will stay with that person.”

Explaining that the “unfortunate situation” was “born out of a true story”, Joy continued, “You’re doing your best to be in the present in this new relationship, but it’s hard because you constantly compare and think back to your former lover, who might’ve been the love of your life.”

The raw, emotional track was produced by Aaron Farmer, musical director of Tyler Hubbard and Florida Georgia Line, and was recorded in Nashville.

A Little Part Of Me marks Joy’s first release in seven years, a triumphant return to the music scene. In a post to Instagram, she said, “It’s been 7 long years since I released original music. 7!! I cannot wait to show you the music I’ve been working on during this time and am so thrilled to be back doing what I love the most.”
