What a Song Can Do
What a Song Can Do is the ninth studio album by American country music band Lady A. It was released on October 22, 2021 via Big Machine Records.

Background. Prior to the album's release, the band issued the extended play "What a Song Can Do (Chapter One)", containing tracks from the album. This extended play contains seven songs, and  the album contains seven more. Thirteen of the project's fourteen songs were co-written by at least one member of the band; Dave Haywood wrote "Workin' on This Love" by himself and even sings lead vocals on it, making this the first and so far only album to feature a solo from him. The track "Friends Don't Let Friends" features guest vocals from Carly Pearce, Thomas Rhett, and Darius Rucker. Dann Huff is the album's producer. Critical reception. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that "The 14 songs never deviate from the middle of the road, a  path they follow with the urgency of a Sunday afternoon drive[...] they give the arrangements enough room to be breezy and help keep the melody in the forefront -- tricks that make for a very pleasant listen, even if it is quite a familiar one."
