The power of a song is something special, and the messages that music sends can have an enormous impact. Just hearing our feelings expressed to us, in ways we might not be able to express ourselves, has incredible value in our lives, no matter your age.\u00a0The latest single by Faith Hill <\/strong>and husband Tim McGraw<\/strong> has just that kind of incredible power and is moving the masses.\u00a0As Hill makes her comeback from a (very) long recording hiatus and joins with McGraw for another run of their \u2018Soul2Soul\u2019 tour, the duo released a single from an upcoming, long-anticipated duets album.\u00a0The song, \u2018Speak to a Girl<\/strong><\/a>,\u2019 is sweeping in emotion and message.<\/p>\n

She just wants a friend to be there when she opens her eyes in the morning. She wants you to say what you mean, and mean everything that you\u2019re saying. \u2018Cause that\u2019s how you speak to a woman, that\u2019s how you speak to a girl. That\u2019s how you get with a lady that\u2019s worth more than anything in this whole world. You better respect your woman, respect the hell out of her, that\u2019s how you speak to a woman. That\u2019s how you speak to a girl.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Written by Shy Carter, Dave Gibson, and Joe Garbur, and co-produced by Bryan Gallimore, Hill and McGraw, \u2018Girl\u2019 is a soul-stirring breath of fresh air, a song about respecting women and girls, and communicating in an honest, loving, and genuine manner. It not only encourages boys and men\u2019s most positive efforts to be good partners, but the lyrics<\/a> remind us that we should demand this for ourselves. For young girls that sing along with it, it is incredibly powerful in encouraging girls’ confidence. Hill and McGraw are the parents of three young girls (Ages 18, 19, and 15), and surely have thought about the kinds of messages that the world, and boys, are sending them. Through music, as parents and artists, they\u2019re taking a firm stand for girls and women loving themselves and being loved. Though this specific song’s message is written for girls, qualities like honesty, respect, and open communication are important for all healthy relationships no matter your gender identity.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Faith Hill has delivered songs that uplift the spirit and encourage healthy relationships. Hill\u2019s body of work is filled with songs that carry many of the same themes heard in \u2018Girl.\u2019 Here are a few:<\/span><\/p>\n
