Camis back!
The country music star released her new single, “Till There’s Nothing Left,” on Thursday, and it’s an epic ode to love.
Ahead of the song’s release, Cam, 35, opened up to PEOPLE about her return — and why she’s had to wait five years to drop another album.
“I had to separate from the Nashville label because their operations weren’t in line with my values,” Cam says of her departure. “It takes some time. It’s a risky move, and it’s not a fun thing to have to do business-wise or emotionally.”

“Nowadays when you look at how people care about what’s going on with the Grammys, what goes on for women in business, what goes on for women in country music — I do think people are starting to care more about how things get done behind the scenes on the business end of it,” she adds.
“Because it really does affect the artists and how it all works out for us and you know, quality of life but also just if music even comes out. The more people get a chance to understand that stuff, hopefully there’s other artists that realize that they can take care of themselves and ask for what they need in that way too.”

Despite the five long years between her debut and her upcoming second LP, due later this year, the Bay Area-native never gave up on music.
“When I get on stage and I share the music that I’ve written and you see it in people’s eyes like that it resonates with them? That feels like I’ve done my purpose,” Cam says. “That ignites my fire.”

As she prepares to launch her second album, the singer-songwriter — who performed her “Till There’s Nothing Left” on theTodayshow on Thursday — is getting a handle on her life as both an artist and a mother.
“What’s this new era? Like, whoamI? How do I integrate being a mom with being myself and being like a musician? That’s a wild thing,” she says of the transition back to work. “It’s going to be a fun adventure figuring out how to do all of this with Lucy now!”
