Emily Ann Roberts‘ signature country charm comes to life in her brand-new release, “My Future.”
Out now, the song is about falling in love at first sight and instantly feeling like you’ve met “the one.” In just a short moment, the narrator is already imagining a full future together, from marriage to kids to a shared life at home.
Roberts says her husband, Chris Sasser, provided inspiration for the song.

“The idea for ‘My Future’ actually came from my husband, Chris,” Roberts shared. “He thought it would be a great song idea after seeing so many comments on social media saying, ‘I think I see my future.’ I started daydreaming about it and fell in the love with the idea of a girl seeing a guy and planning their whole life together in a matter of minutes. A little crazy? Yeah maybe, but when a woman knows what she wants, she knows!”
“My Future” showcases everything fans have come to love about Emily Ann Roberts: clever songwriting, a touch of East Tennessee country twang, and a healthy dose of humor. She paired the release with a visualizer that finds her stepping into the role of the narrator, playing a love-struck girl already planning her future with a man she just met. In the video, she sits on the floor surrounded by scrapbook clippings, photos, and arts and crafts as she imagines and pieces together the life she’s already dreaming up for them.
“One look was all it took/ Ain’t you Mr. Right-Outta-the-Blue? Little crazy? Well, maybe/ But when you know, you know, and I know it’s you/ All you said was hello, and five minutes ago/ I didn’t know who you were/ And now I think I see my future,” she sings.
“I brought the idea to Shane Minor and Micah Wilshire. I remember the day being so inspiring because we were just having fun and writing what made us grin. Brandon Hood produced the track and knocked it out of the park,” Roberts explained. “It is full of personality and exactly what I dreamed it would be. I hope fans have as much fun listening to it as I did making it!”
The release of “My Future” comes just one day after Emily Ann Roberts was named a nominee for New Female Artist of the Year at the upcoming 61st ACM Awards. She shared her family’s sweet reaction to the news on Instagram, admitting she was “speechless” over the moment.
In addition to her nomination, Roberts is also set to perform ahead of the ACM Awards at the ACM Next Wave Showcase, where she’ll be highlighted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry NextStage Class of 2026.
Following a breakout performance at C2C Festival in Germany and the U.K., it was recently announced that Roberts will join Thomas Rhett on his SOUNDTRACK TO LIFE TOUR, which includes major stops at Nashville’s Geodis Park and Hershey Park Stadium alongside Niall Horan. She’ll also continue headlining select dates throughout the year before heading back overseas this fall to support Cody Johnson on his European tour.
