Mallary Hope performing “Georgia Peaches” live in Ringgold, GA.

American Idol runner up, Lauren Alaina, will release her debut album on October 11, which will feature two songs written by Mallary. The songs include “Georgia Peaches,” which Mallary co-wrote with Blair Daly and Rachel Proctor and “The Locket.” Below are descriptions of the two songs in Lauren’s own words.

“Georgia Peaches” (Mallary Hope, Blair Daly and Rachel Proctor)
“First of all, I am a Georgia peach! When I heard the title of the song, I liked it. After I heard the full song, I fell in love with it. It’s one of my favorites on the album. It is uptempo and a song that everyone can dance to. It’s great because it says there is nothing sweeter than Georgia peaches, and in the bridge it welcomes people in who aren’t from Georgia: ‘It don’t matter where you’re from/ Come on in and have some fun.’ It’s a really cool song that I think people will enjoy.”

“The Locket” (Mallary Hope)
“’The Locket’ will make you cry every time you hear it. The storyline reminds me of ‘The Notebook.’ It has this beautiful story. You don’t know until the end of the song who is telling the story, but it’s a granddaughter talking to her grandmother.  She is talking about all of these memories her grandmother told her throughout her life. The grandmother has Alzheimer’s and she is starting to forget things. The granddaughter is reading out of her diary to her the things that have happened to her throughout her life. It’s a beautiful story. I cried like a baby the first time I heard it; I still cry every time I hear it. It’s got one of the most beautiful melodies I’ve ever heard, just the arrangement of the song. The words are so powerful. It’s the type of song that is super simple but it really touches your heart. You feel like you are part of the story, even though you are not.”
