Rising singer/songwriter and powerhouse performer Annie Bosko releases her rousing anthem “Country Girls! (Who Runs the World),” available now via Stone Country Records. Celebrating the grit and grace of women who do it all, the new track blends honky-tonk swagger with girl-power pride. Listen below.
“It’s no secret that being a woman in country music means working twice as hard with half the time,” shares Bosko. “There’s constant pressure – around age, appearance and how you present yourself. Guys can show up in a ball cap and jeans, but it doesn’t work that way for us. Female artists have always made up a smaller slice of the country music marketplace. But when they break through, they break through big.
“Growing up, Shania Twain lit my world on fire. She made me feel powerful – like I could be bold, feminine, sexy, smart, fiery and fun all at once,” she adds. “That’s what I hope this song does: sparks that fire and makes women feel fearless and ready to take on the world.”
“Country Girls! (Who Runs the World)” arrives with an original line dance, brought to life earlier this month in a surprise flash mob at CMA Fest, where Bosko joined forces with a group of line dancers from Nashville Dance Fest at the Ariat storefront in downtown Nashville.

Written by Bosko alongside David “Messy” Mescon and Bridgette Tatum, who also co-produced the track, the new release opens with blazing harmonica followed by a catchy call-and-response chorus, as the song nods to the everyday hustle of country women:
Today’s release follows “God Winks,” a tribute to faith and divine timing during moments of uncertainty. The California native brought the song to RFD-TV’s “On the Record” and Fox 11’s “Good Day LA” in Los Angeles, as she continues to build momentum towards her debut LP later this year.
Bosko is set to perform at Country Summer Music Festival in Santa Rosa, California this Sunday, June 29 and the North Dakota State Fair on July 20 before heading to Headwaters Country Jam on July 25.
