Content
editKendra and Krista Slaugbaugh of Tigirlily Gold co-wrote eight of the 10 tracks on Blonde,[2] selected from an estimated 40 to 60 songs the duo had written for the record.[3] Pete Good produced tracks 2, 6, 7, and 8, while Alex Kline produced tracks 1, 3, 4, 5, and 9, with the two co-producing the album's tenth and final track, a cover of Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love".[4] Krista described the album as "all about being undeniably and unapologetically yourself", while Kendra said she "[hopes] listeners feel like they could hang out with us on a Friday night or have a heart-to-heart on a Sunday morning, that every emotion you feel is valid, that some nights you want to go shoot tequila and some nights you want to cry over a boy who shattered you. At the end of the day, no one has it all together, and we're all figuring out how to navigate love, loss, friends, memories, self-love, confidence".[2]
The album was preceded by the release of an EP, also titled Blonde, in June 2023.[5] "Shoot Tequila" and "I Tried a Ring On" were released as the album's first and second singles, respectively. "Shoot Tequila" reached a peak of number 47 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart,[6] while "I Tried a Ring On" became the duo's first top 40 hit on the chart.[7] "Leroy" was also issued as a promotional single alongside the album's announcement.[2]
