Background

Lady A appeared on the first episode of the second season of American songwriting competition series, Songland, which aired April 13, 2020.[4] Canadian singer-songwriter Madeline Merlo presented the episode's winning song, "I'll Drink to That", which she co-wrote with Tina Parol, David Thomson, Patricia Conroy. After opting to record the song, the members of Lady A made adjustments to the lyrics with its producer, Shane McAnally, and the title was changed to "Champagne Night".[5] Following its digital release alongside the airing of the episode, the song hit number one on the American iTunes all-genre sales chart and remained in the top ten the following week.[6] On April 20, 2020, the group released the song to country radio.[7] This made "Champagne Night" the first winning song from Songland to be promoted as an official radio single.[8]
