Hailey Benedict Releases Catchy Country Pop Single “Party Without You” in Collaboration with

Hailey Benedict, a rising star on Nashville’s country scene, presents her new single “Party Without You”, released via Big Loud Records and Local Hay Records. The song marks the beginning of a new musical chapter for Benedict, who plans a series of releases this coming fall. For this track, Benedict’s songwriting skills unite with Ava Suppelsa and Grammy®-winning producer Josh Kerr—well known for his work with artists like Keith Urban and Kelsea Ballerini. Both Benedict and Kerr stand as co-producers, deepening the creative collaboration that characterizes the release.

“Party Without You” combines vibrant country pop productions with Benedict’s quick, conversational lyrics, building the narrative around the feeling of loneliness amid celebration. With themes of social anxiety, longing, and missing someone important, Benedict aimed to create a song that lifts up anyone who feels left out at the party. She describes the song as an uplifting anthem for those navigating social settings with uncertainty, where the strong chorus and danceable rhythm are woven together with honest vulnerability.

A Year of Successes and Collaborations

The release of “Party Without You” crowns a standout period for Benedict, whose previous single for Big Loud Records, “Things My Mama Says”, became the most played song by a female Canadian artist on country radio in 2025. This marks her growing influence on the country scene and hints at a promising career trajectory.

Benedict’s creativity reaches beyond her own recordings; she has become a sought-after collaborator in Nashville’s songwriting circles and recently helped pen “Written in Stone” for Dylan Conrique. Her increasing presence in writing rooms reflects both her versatility and her ability to convey genuine feelings and relatable experiences.

The music industry’s recognition of Benedict continues. She is nominated in the Innovative Campaign category at this year’s Canadian Country Music Association Awards, marking her fifth consecutive year as a CCMA nominee—a streak that underscores her prominent role and creative drive in the artist and marketing domains.

The collaboration with Josh Kerr on “Party Without You” was especially significant for Benedict. She emphasizes that working with Kerr, who has long been a dream producer for her, helped her refine her artistic expression and find new confidence in her sound. The song was demoed the very day they wrote it and, according to Benedict, carried an energy that was present throughout the entire production process.

The single signals a clear ambition to build a unique voice in the industry, where polished, radio-friendly production is fused with personal appeal. As Benedict expands her song catalog, she continues to explore universal emotions and anchor her music in well-crafted songwriting that resonates with both country and pop audiences.

With “Party Without You”, Benedict delivers both an emotional and uplifting anthem, cementing her place among country pop’s most promising new voices and paving the way for continued attention and new music this fall.
