Taken from the Critically Acclaimed Album Lord Knows I Ain’t No Saint
LITTLE ROCK, AR – April 18, 2025 – Award-winning country powerhouse Pamela Hopkins is back with another unapologetic anthem, “Me Being Me,” set for release on April 18th, 2025. The single is pulled from her Arkansas Country Music Awards-nominated and International Singer Songwriters Association-nominated album, Lord Knows I Ain’t No Saint—a collection that showcases her signature blend of fiery honesty, southern sass, and emotional grit.
Written by hitmakers Vickie McGehee, D. Vincent Williams, and Jim Femino, “Me Being Me” is a full-throttle declaration of self-acceptance. With driving instrumentals and lyrics that pull no punches, Hopkins owns every inch of her identity: wild, free-spirited, and unwilling to apologize for it. The chorus is a fierce middle finger to societal expectations—“If you don’t like what you see / I don’t know what you want me to tell you, darlin’ / That’s just me / Me being me.”
While the track packs plenty of attitude, it also carries deep personal meaning for Pamela. The song was pitched to her by the late Jim Femino, whose mentorship marked a pivotal moment in her songwriting journey.
“Jim was in the hospital the day we were supposed to meet in Nashville,” recalls Hopkins. “I offered to bring him anything he needed, and we ended up just visiting and talking music. He played me some songs on his laptop from his hospital bed, and ‘Me Being Me’ was one of them. It instantly felt like my story.”
Though originally recorded alongside other Femino-penned tracks for her debut album, Hopkins waited until now to share “Me Being Me” with the world—finally confident that her voice did the song justice.
“This one always hit home for me, and the title of my latest album actually comes from a line in this song,” she adds. “Jim passed away a few years ago, and I never got to co-write with him like we planned. But I’m honored to carry a piece of him in this release.”
Hopkins’ powerhouse vocals, paired with the song’s rebellious edge, once again affirm her place as a fierce and fearless voice in modern country music. With a growing collection of charting singles, award wins, and international tours—including shows for U.S. troops in Alaska, Japan, Australia, Guam, and more—Pamela Hopkins continues to blaze her own path.
