Rising Country Artist, Madison Olivia releases her brand new single, Know Your Name which was released last Friday (14th June).
Madison capped off her 2023 with a notable performance on Parmalee’s End of Year Tour and quickly followed up with the empowering anthem, “USER” featured with The Academy of Country Music celebrating independent women. She is going to open for Julia Cole, Dylan Scott and others through the summer. Now, Madison returns with another passionate track asserting her determination to define her own identity.

“Know Your Name” opens with a soft acoustic guitar melody that gently ushers in Madison’s evocative lyrics: “When you graduate/ We all go to state/ At least that’s how it is around here.”
Her expertly crafted lyrics vividly depict the constraints of small-town life, where following the traditional path seems inevitable. Despite being advised that music wouldn’t be a viable career and urged to settle down, Madison defiantly responds, “Settling’s half of settling down.” She exemplifies resilience, refusing to succumb to societal pressure and striving for her dreams.
The instrumentals build in intensity throughout the song, culminating in a powerful crescendo as Madison passionately declares “I’m gonna put on a show.” The track’s evolving tension and dynamic soundscape underscore her unwavering resolve.
Madison beautifully reminds us of life’s unpredictability and the importance of embracing the unexpected. Her message is clear never let anyone dictate who you are or what you should do. This timeless sentiment resonates deeply, encouraging listeners to pursue their true selves.
Madison, a Flint Michigan native has made her mark in country music and is not slowing down as she transitions this year to full time residence in Nashville, TN.
