MARY KUTTER THROWS LOVE INTO THE RING WITH HARD-HITTING NEW TRACK “DAMN I LOVE YOU” – OUT NOW

Love hurts, but Mary Kutter isn't interested in nursing the bruise. With “Damn I Love You,” out today via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, Kutter turns reckless devotion into a full-contact sport, delivering a hard-charging confession about loving someone past the point of reason. Written by Kutter, Brian Alexander, Tom Pino and Paul Wrock, and produced by Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy, the track hints at what’s next from the Kentucky-raised singer-songwriter. Listen HERE and watch the official music video BELOW.

Built on roaring guitars and Kutter's commanding vocal, “Damn I Love You” pushes country storytelling straight into rock territory. Its lyrics measure devotion in broken bones and bad decisions, capturing the kind of all-consuming love that makes self-preservation feel beside the point. The harder it hits, the deeper Kutter digs in.

The song nearly sounded very different. Kutter originally wrote “Damn I Love You” as a slow 6/8 ballad before scrapping everything but the title. The problem wasn't the song. It was that something this irrational had no business behaving itself.

“It started out real sad and real pretty, but that just wasn't what the feeling sounded like to me,” says Kutter. “Loving somebody that hard, especially when you know they might not do the same for you, isn't always pretty. It can feel like a bar fight in your chest. Once I realized that, I knew we needed to crank it up.”

Following the darkly cinematic “Bed of Roses,” “Damn I Love You” reveals another side of the world Kutter is building, where country storytelling collides with rock-leaning intensity and emotions rarely arrive clean or uncomplicated. Together, the songs begin to leave breadcrumbs toward a forthcoming full-length project for Kutter.

For Kutter, those contradictions are often where the story gets interesting. Raised in the backwoods of Kentucky, she has built her songwriting around characters and experiences that live somewhere between right and wrong, strength and vulnerability, love and self-preservation. “Damn I Love You” doesn't try to resolve any of it. It finds the thrill in losing all good sense.

About Mary Kutter:

Kentucky raised and Nashville based, Mary Kutter writes songs that live in the gray area, blurring genre lines and creative narratives. Drawing from country storytelling and rock-leaning intensity, her music favors sharp images over easy answers. As both a songwriter and recording artist, Kutter gravitates toward characters on the edge, flawed, resilient and unapologetically human. Before stepping fully into her own voice as an artist, she built a reputation as a songwriter willing to go where others would not, with her work appearing on major-label releases and charting records by Bailey Zimmerman, Nate Smith and Zach John King. Praised by The Tennessean as a “natural-born storyteller” who isn't afraid of the big topics, Kutter has also earned early attention from PEOPLE, MusicRow and Country Swag for her distinctive voice, sharp songwriting and fearless approach to storytelling. In 2026, Kutter signed with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville and introduced this next chapter with the darkly cinematic “Bed of Roses,” a sharp-edged murder ballad steeped in classic country storytelling and Southern noir. Now, she turns up the volume with the hard-hitting “Damn I Love You,” with more still to come.

 Kentucky-raised and Nashville-based artist and songwriter Mary Kutter has signed with WME for global representation.

Kutter writes songs rooted in small-town truth and sharpened by life experiences, blending country storytelling with a rock-leaning edge. Before stepping fully into her own voice as an artist, Kutter built a reputation as a songwriter unafraid to tackle subjects others might avoid, with her work writing and appearing on major-label releases and charting records for Bailey Zimmerman, Nate Smith, Alexandra Kay and Zach John King.

“Mary is the kind of artist who writes and performs with conviction,” adds WME’s Lance Roberts. “There’s an authenticity to her work that feels both rooted and forward-looking. She has already built a meaningful career as a songwriter, and we’re excited to help expand her live business as she steps fully into this moment as an artist.”

Now signed to BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, Kutter is stepping forward as a recording artist with her latest release, “Bed of Roses,” which debuted February 13, 2026. The track marks the beginning of a new chapter defined by confidence, clarity and a refusal to soften the point.

“Being onstage is where it all comes full circle for me,” Kutter adds. “WME is best in class when it comes to expanding live opportunities and building global audiences, and I’m ready to take these songs to more cities, more stages and more fans.”

Raised in Washington County, Kentucky, Kutter’s connection to music began in church and local talent shows before eventually leading her to Nashville. She continues to write and record new music while expanding her touring footprint nationwide.

BBR MUSIC GROUP/BMG NASHVILLE ANNOUNCES THE SIGNING OF RISING COUNTRY VOICE MARY KUTTER

With “Bed of Roses,” out today via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, Mary Kutter makes a stark, unapologetic entrance to the roster. Written by Kutter alongside John Frank and Tom Pino, and produced by Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy, the song unfolds like a Southern noir short story with equal parts grit, dark humor, and a sense of reckoning. Listen BELOW.

Built on razor-edged riffs and a pulse that cuts like a thorned guitar pick, “Bed of Roses” drops the listener straight into the fallout, where lines have been crossed, secrets stay buried, and beauty grows from something far more dangerous. Kutter’s vocal sits at the center of the tension, cool and unflinching, daring the listener to lean in closer.

Rather than softening the story or looking away, “Bed of Roses” leans all the way in planting itself in a lane of revenge country anchored by hits like The Chicks “Goodbye Earl.” The song lets implication do the heavy lifting, pairing vivid imagery with a sharp sense of humor that keeps the narrative firmly in control. It’s a reminder that sometimes survival isn’t loud. It’s quiet, calculated, and final.

“‘Bed of Roses’ lives in the kind of storytelling country I grew up loving,” says Kutter. “I love songs that make you lean in, raise an eyebrow, and maybe laugh at the wrong moment. This song has teeth. It’s playful with its dark humor, and it doesn’t ask permission. Those are the songs that made me fall in love with this genre in the first place.”

“Bed of Roses” marks a new chapter for Kutter as she steps forward as an artist unafraid to say the quiet part out loud. Leading with classic country storytelling while letting a harder edge show through, the track introduces a voice that doesn’t chase approval or resolution, only truth, however uncomfortable it may be.
