Lauren Alaina and Chase Matthew are turning heads with their recently released duet, “All My Exes.” 

The song debuted with the biggest first-week streaming numbers of Lauren Alaina’s career and continues to dominate on streaming platforms and socials. 

“All My Exes” was written by Alaina with Ben Johnson, Whitney Phillips and Jimmy Gutch, and produced byJoey Moi with co-production by Jacob Durrett. This witty breakup anthem follows a couple who openly acknowledge their flaws and the chaos they bring to the relationship. They know they’re both hard to love, and they’re not shy about admitting it, but they’re still not quite ready to walk away.

“I ain’t sayin’ that you’re right about me/ I’m just sayin’ all my exes would agree/ Scream my name as you’re walkin’ out the door/ Ain’t gonna lie, yeah, I heard it all before/ I know I’m a little hard-headed but, baby, to your credit/ You might be onto something tonight/ No, I ain’t sayin’ that you’re right about me/ I’m just sayin’ all my exes would agree,” they sing on the addictive chorus. 

With its relatable storyline, catchy melody, and star-powered vocals, “All My Exes” is poised to be one of this summer’s biggest pop-country hits.

Of the song, Alaina shared, “‘All My Exes’ isn’t your typical song about an ex. It’s all about the typical downtown situationship (we’ve all been there).’Exes’ is my twist on the phrase, ‘it’s not you, it’s me,’ and just the ultimate, windows-down summer song.”

This marks Lauren Alaina and Chase Matthew’s second duet, following “Heart Half Empty,” which arrived earlier this year on Matthew’s album, CHASE.  

Lauren Alaina has been releasing a string of hits in 2025, including the feisty “Household,” and the heartwarming “Those Kind Of Women.” 

Most recently, the Georgia native shared the track “Heaven Sent” in honor of her newborn daughter, Beni Doll. The song was co-written by Alaina with HARDY and Ben Johnson and highlights the beauty of first-time motherhood and the way a new life can fill the space left behind by loss.

“I have a little surprise for everyone. To celebrate the most precious miracle on Earth, I have decided to release a song I wrote about my daughter,” Alaina shared when announcing the song release. “We learned she was coming in a time of deep sadness after the loss of my daddy. I wasn’t sure when I would share ‘Heaven Sent,’ but watching my own husband become a father the last couple of days has made me want to share it with you now. She came just before Father’s Day – my first without my own father. A day that will forever be hard to me, but I now have a new and perfect reason to celebrate it: Beni’s daddy, my sweet and steady husband. Beni is truly a gift from God that my old man sitting up there in Heaven Sent.”

Beni Doll arrived on June 11, 2025 weighing in at 7 lbs 13oz. and measuring 19 inches long.

Lauren Alaina is currently enjoying life as a new mom, meanwhile, Chase Matthew is spending his summer on the road with Keith Urban.
