Mickey Guyton - What Are You Gonna Tell Her? (Official Lyric Video)

[@MickeyGuyton]

Songwriting is honesty. When I write I can be honest about exactly how I'm feeling. That came through in this song because it was raw, real emotion. ✍🏾

[@EAZTHARLEM]

⚘

[@roblox_xdhi9453]

Mickey Guyton your voice is amazing i also write songs i have no idea about the music business but God put it in my heart and on my mind to write im just a stay at home mom im trying to get my songs famous so the world can hear them can you help me get them famous 🙏😊

[@michaelshackelford7048]

You are truly inspirational & so amaZing ! So glad that I met you years ago in St. Louis, MO =)

[@micksmixx75]

It came through very well. From one Mickey to another, you nailed it!

[@staceydahlinger63]

Its beautifully and brutally honest. It's an amazing piece of art Ms. Mickey.

[@donnagoerner5423]

I love this song. I have lived this song. I'd tell her to keep going. Keep fighting. Don't quit. I just became the first Black female judge in Seminole County, Florida - home of the Trayvon Martin case. I won in an election. My win was unprecedented. I give all honor to God for a myriad reasons. I had 1/3 of the money my opponent had. The deck was stacked. It's always been. Having been unsuccessful in every other attempt, I almost didn't even run. So, yes...you have to keep going. You have to keep fighting. Prayer and perseverance go a long way!

Mazel tov!

[@debbiefrancis6105]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[@Ring0fSaturn]

Thank you and congratulations, Donna! Your story is necessary historically and right now. With the loss of RBG on the Supreme Court and Kamala Harris ready to step in, it's like we are on the precipice of real progress. If the Republican party were not controlled by White Old Rich Men (WORMs) who prefer power over principle, we could have balance and peace and equality.

[@lesleymasumoto808]

Mucho Mahalo, Donna... You're my inspiration to carry on...and truck on!

[@Tan87ful]

Congrats!!!. I'm so proud

[@moriahlenhart-wees8219]

Wow! Gorgeous song writing. Country is lacking in songs that discuss gender/racial and other injustices. Thank you for making meaningful and thought provoking art, Mickey!

[@grif0716]

We had them then the old guard retired. Then we had a decade of bro country. Country is finely going back to what it used to be. Songs of everything, including protest songs.

[@Andio1966]

WOW! WOW! WOW! Shame on radio for not playing this song! It needs to be heard! So glad I caught your performance tonight on the ACMs.

[@1115TinaM]

I just listened to this song for the first time and I have tears streaming down my face. This gets to me in so many ways. As a woman. As a mom. As a friend.

[@jmichellesharp]

I had the same reaction you did listening to it for the fist time today...and for the same reasons. My heart hurts :(

[@peter2344sfvd]

What am I gonna tell my daughters that I built them up so the world could let them down? Stunning in light of the fact that my daughter told me one day that after being on the honor roll in high school and graduating college cum laude, she spent years working a crap retail job and she told me, “Dad, I did everything you said. I worked hard and played by the rules and...this.”

[@cherylmorton8346]

Anybody that has a daughter, granddaughter, niece...etc, plz make them realize they r worth so much more than most men could ever b

[@cherylmorton8346]

Keep fighting girl...don't ever let anyone steal ur fight!! Doesn't matter who is trying 2 break u, don't let them do it...fight back

[@faefiercevulpine6990]

The responses to this comment really show how out of touch our world is with this dilemma, how in the dark they are about how unfair life really is. Hard work and dedication, for many and most, often leads nowhere. This world is on fire... but we can build something out of the ashes. I hope in the late future when equality is truly fair and just, they’ll still be listening to music like this.

[@sportzchick92]

This song pulled so hard on my heart strings. It is very rare I cry listening to a song but this one had me bawling. I felt it deep in my soul. I have kids and it's true, what are you going to tell them? I still ask myself sometimes, why wasn't I told? You are such an amazing person and have such an authentic talent and pure voice. I appreciate you, keep on shining like the sunshine you are because your rays are reaching out and warming so many hearts. ❤

[@Tan87ful]

Wow. I cried too when I first heard this song

[@maryhobratschk2111]

This is the question that must be asked of all....beautiful voice and performance...heartfelt and inspiring.

Girl, this song made me bawl. I wish it had been there when I was a kid in foster care struggling to understand the truth of this world that no child should have to.

[@davianne70]

I'm so glad ACM gave u a platform for all of us to find u through. You're amazing -- love this so much!! 🥰😘👏🏽👏🏽

[@shorttrack58]

Man, I cried when l listen to this thinking of my granddaughter. I just discovered Mickey WOW, WOW, WOW, a new fan forever.

[@Tan87ful]

Nice

[@mslisamart99]

This song breaks me to my knees every time I hear it. I raised two bi-racial children, spent my days and nights building them up, encouraging, hoping, praying, working, to see the world tear them down unmercifully. The hardest part of parenting is what to tell your children when their best isn't good enough and when they are judged by things that shouldn't matter and that they can't change.

[@WadeChannell-tc2hc]

Thank you, Mickey. Every time I hear this song (and I listen to it a lot!), I see my daughters and my granddaughter and I think of the beauty and pain that they encounter. My daughters are adults who can tell me more than I tell them. My granddaughter is too young still. But one day I have to work with her parents and make sure she knows that the world is a rough place, but she is loved and cherished and I will always be there for her. Thank you for this and for your other penetrating songs. You are making a difference. Please keep doing what you're doing. We need you.

[@whipplefilter7955]

Wow!! Im speechless... absolutely beautifully said!! I am crying like a child... I love everything about this song! Mickey, your voice is very powerful and you are absolutely gorgeous!! I am excited for more!!

As a mom and a songwriter, hearing this song is so painful, though it is so spot on. Songs like this one are why I'm a songwriter. Thank you for writing such a perfect song, even though I will cry every time I hear it. It is truth.

[@aleks18293]

I agree that this is amazing, but don't get taylor into this if you don't know her entire discography. Listen to some of her deep songs, heck, go over folklore, then you will understand.

[@elizabethmackie200]

Don't hate on Taylor Swift

[@thisistinnytrying]

I don’t really believe you are a Songwriter cuss other wise you would know about Taylor’s amazing lyrics. She even makes songs about important subjects even. You need to calm down is about gay rights, only the young and miss Americana are both about politics. Epiphany is about covid and the Healthcare nurses. Don’t drag someone’s name in to this if the only song you’ve ever heard of them is shake it of.

[@AlisongsLA]

@@aleks18293 I've heard it. She's really trying to rise above her catalog and she gets to write with great collaborators. It's sad that the public is so easily misled. It doesn't help us to raise the bar back up for songwriting.

You are God sent! Just found you on ACM tonight! OMG your voice alone caught my ear (brought me to tears) and then your lyrics and then you are beautiful in and out!

Still trying to heal but i finally just told my dad and he believes me and wished i would've told him sooner.

The line about building them up just to have the world knocking them down is so very accurate. In the last three years, our family has faced some of the difficulties described here, and it is heartbreaking to see the disappointment and sadness in their faces as they realize the truth about how the evil in this world. Thank you so much for the truth you pour into your music. The world needs it right now.
