Jelly Roll‘s wife, podcast host and social media personality Bunnie Xo, is his muse in a soulful, unreleased new song that Bunnie teased on TikTok on Monday night (Sept. 23).
“He wrote me a new song,” she explains in the video, which is a clip of Jelly singing set to a montage of videos documenting their love story.
Jelly has been vocal about how meeting Bunnie helped him turn a corner in his personal growth, and the song’s lyrics double down on that sentiment. “Woman, without you on my lips / I’d just be a man doing things I know I should quit,” he sings in the teaser clip.
After Bunnie shared a snippet of the song, fans flooded the comments section with supportive messages for the country star couple. “Best friends and it shows,” one user writes.
“I cried so much,” another adds, “To have a love like this is every woman’s dreams.”
“All of us hopeless romantics are drinking the s–t out of [Haterade] right now. GOD we love y’all’s love story,” someone else jokes.
Jelly’s new song is likely to be included on his upcoming new album, Beautifully Broken, which is due out next month. He hasn’t shared the full tracklist for that project, but the collection does include previously released new songs like “Liar,” “Get By” and “I Am Not Okay.”
He previously told Taste of Country that he wrote “probably a hundred and something songs last year — maybe 150 — trying to figure this album out.”
It’s not the first time that he’s written a song about his love story with Bunnie. “Kill a Man,” off his Whitsitt Chapel album, was also inspired by their relationship.
