Seven-time GRAMMY® Award winner Carrie Underwood will debut her new single, “Church Bells,” with a television performance on the 51st Academy of Country Music Awards this Sunday, April 3 on CBS Television.

Produced by Mark Bright and written by Zach Crowell, Brett James, and Hillary Lindsey, Carrie’s “Church Bells” ships to country radio on Friday, April 1 and officially impacts on Monday, April 11. Fans have been raving about the epic revenge song that Entertainment Weekly called a “twangy roof-raiser,” and ABC News described as combining “some Americana-style banjo-play with a funky swagger.”

Underwood describes “Church Bells” as one of the most dynamic narratives on her Storyteller album.  “I love songs about strong women.  I love being sucked into that story:  rooting for the woman and seeing that she does something powerful that she never thought she could do,” explains Underwood. “People are strongest when they’re pushed to their limits.”

This is the third single from her Gold-certified, fifth-studio album, Storyteller, which has yielded two back-to-back #1 singles, “Smoke Break” and “Heartbeat.” To date, Carrie has achieved 23 #1 singles, 13 of which she co-wrote. Storyteller is available for purchase now.
