Sara Evans Daughter – With the release of “Of Course I Do,” Olivia Evans, daughter of country recording artist Sara Evans, has released her debut single, which was inspired by adolescent rebellion and late-’80s pop.
Olivia co-wrote the song with producer Nash Overstreet and Shane Stevens, who was also her mother’s regular co-writer, when she was only 18 years old, following her first devastating heartbreak. Olivia’s upcoming EP, “Of Course I Do,” will have five songs inspired by breakups, with “Of Course I Do” serving as the lead single.
For Olivia, this is not her first experience in front of the camera. The Barker Family Band, named after the country singer’s husband, Jay Barker, was formed in 2019 by her and her brother Avery, who joined their mother to form the group.
The band recorded music and performed a limited number of gigs, which provided Evans with her first opportunity to be seen in public. Following the success of the experiment, Sara invited Olivia to join her band as a background singer, which fueled Olivia’s desire to pursue a career as a singer.
Olivia explains that, while country music may be considered the family business, her mother has been aware of her desire to pursue a career in the pop music industry for quite some time and has been supportive of her decision. Olivia, on the other hand, is not interested in restricting herself to a single genre.
“I hope that as I progress in my work, I will have the freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want,” she says. “If I want to set a new national record in ten years, I want to be able to do so.” “I’m just not going to put myself in any kind of creative shackles.”
With the release of her debut single “Of Course I Do,” Olivia Evans, daughter of country music artist Sara Evans, will mark her independence on July 9 with the release of “Of Course I Do.”
The song “Of Course I Do” was written by Olivia, 18, with the help of her producer Nash Overstreet and her mother’s regular co-writer Shane Stevens after she suffered her first heartbreak. The irresistible summer anthem is inspired by adolescent rebellion and late-’80s pop music, among other things.
My mother thinks you’re not very attractive. She doesn’t care for you. So, of course, I do.
“I just wanted to write a teen pop anthem,” Olivia said of her inspiration for the song. “You know, when you date the wrong person, you do what every female does at least once in her life: you cry. “The song is just so much fun, and you can dance to it, but it also has some very amazing lyrics,” says the artist.
She added that her mother has “knew for years” that she wishes to pursue a career in pop music and is supportive of her decision. Olivia, on the other hand, is not interested in restricting herself to a single genre.
“I hope that as I progress in my work, I will be given the freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want,” she remarked. “If I want to set a new national record in ten years, I want to be able to do so.” “I’m just not going to put myself in any kind of creative shackles.”
