NASHVILLE, TN. – What if you didn’t miss that elevator? What if you left work on time? What if you had answered that call? Rising country artist Caitlin Quisenberry answers this and more in her new single, “WHAT IF.” The butterfly effect inspired song finds the classically trained singer questioning what life would be like if one little moment had been changed. Recorded at Nashville’s Southern Ground studio, Caitlin co-wrote “WHAT IF” with Stephen Laplante and producer Ben Simonetti (Zac Brown Band). Listen to “WHAT IF” HERE
“The concept of “WHAT IF” is anchored in ‘the butterfly effect,’ where one small change can alter later results and amount to unforeseen outcomes,” shares Caitlin. “In writing, we also touched on the idea of mental health. I’m a perfectionist and with that often comes a lot of anxiety. When I wrote this song, I wanted to show people that having thoughts of regret, wonder, or being unsure of yourself are normal feelings we must deal with as humans. However, there’s also danger in constantly questioning our actions. We can easily get caught up in a rabbit hole of asking ourselves “what if” about everything…ultimately leading to even more anxiety and a lack of confidence. I hope those listening to “WHAT IF” find comfort knowing that they aren’t alone and that we are all questioning things.”
Filmed in the heart of Nashville, the music video for “WHAT IF” marks Caitlin’s directorial debut. She drew inspiration from her acting background and time on set to develop a short story that makes the song feel more like a theatrical experience rather than a standard music video and worked with longtime collaborator and videographer James McGettrick to bring the vision to life. From the hustle and bustle of the downtown office scene to the quaint neighborhood park igniting a hot new romance, each location captures the beauty, charm, and energy of Nashville.
