Carter FaithAlright, let’s put on our metaphorical detective hats and grab a notebook, because something about KINGSWOOD’s track Faith has been right under our noses this whole time.
On the surface, it might seem like a whimsical cut from their upcoming album Midnight Mavericks (out May 22). But then you hear the line: “I call her baby, everybody else call her Faith.” And suddenly, we’re not just listening, but we’re curious…
Here’s where things get interesting.
One of the songwriters on Faith is Tyler Halverson. Now, Halverson and Carter Faith were definitely an item between 2023 and 2025 (exact timeline is a little blurry).
Coincidence? Sure. But we’re not done.
If you scroll back far enough, there’s multiple Instagram posts of the pair; one example, he writes: “its my best friends birthday and she put a new song out today. happy birthday @carterfaith 🫶 see u soon”.
Halverson even has Faith’s initials “CFJ” tattooed on his left wrist. That’s not exactly subtle.

What is more subtle, are some of the lyrical references, such as “She carry crystals, shields her energy” might seem like a generic, slightly whimsy country lyric; except we know Faith is in fact a crystal girly. She told Women In Pop she had to hit up a crystal shop right before dropping her debut album Cherry Valley. So we don’t think it's a reach, rather it’s a breadcrumb.
On a slightly different note, but also totally relevant; Faith’s breakout track Bar Star was co-written with an ex-boyfriend... Take a wild guess who shows up in those credits.
At this point, calling it a coincidence feels optimistic.
Alexander Laska (KINGSWOOD) might not have known the full lore when he sat down to pen the song with Halverson, but here we are.
Faith sits neatly within Midnight Mavericks, a record shaped by late nights, long drives, and emotional loose ends. As the band puts it: “There’s grit here. There’s tenderness. It’s country and rock - worn in, not dressed up - built on melody, muscle, and stories, blending lived-in boots and hopeful dreamers.”
Look, we’re not saying Faith is definitively about Carter Faith… but if we were betting, we know where we’d put out money.
