NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 29, 2026) – Acclaimed singer/songwriter and GRAMMY-nominated David Nail releases one of his most soul-stirring and captivating singles to date, “She Knows,” out today. Listen HERE.
David sings about being in love with someone while knowing, deep down, something isn’t right. It’s a painful yet powerful story. The artist has proven time and time again that he isn’t afraid to explore vulnerable emotions in his songwriting. With each line pulling listeners deeper, David has the listener completely in the palm of his hand with lyrics that cut like a knife and vocals that are one-of-a-kind. His ability to make listeners feel so much through even a single word is nothing short of astonishing.
She, she don’t know she’s leaving,
No she, she ain’t made up her mind,
Oh she, she don’t know she’s leaving,
But she knows, and so, do I.
“’She Knows’ was the curveball of this project. I certainly didn’t walk in that day thinking we were headed in that direction, but once the idea took shape and we started chasing it, I was fired up. Because it felt so unique compared to what I’ve done in the past, it became the song from the project I couldn’t wait to get home and play for my wife,” said David Nail.
This past Tuesday, May 26, David announced his first album in over a decade, Flowers, set to be released on August 21. With each released song continuing to elevate anticipation for the project, David has struck a creative goldmine with producer Anderson East. Pre-save HERE.

Known for turning lived-in lyrics into emotionally resonant performances, Nail remains guided by a simple philosophy: stay truthful, keep growing, and make music that means something long after the moment passes.
