Country Chart-Topper Pamela Hopkins Releases Self-Deprecating Single “Squirrel Train”
The Little Rock, AR singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist sings about her ADHD on “Squirrel Train,” out on November 25, 2022.
With her last single release, “Straight Shooter” Little Rock’s country music powerhouse Pamela Hopkins enjoyed another Top 10 UK iTunes country chart hit. The single reached #14 on the National Radio Hits Country chart, earning more than 100K Spotify streams. With nearly 2 Million streams on the platform, the prolific singer-songwriter isn’t one to slow down any time soon.
On Friday, November 25th, Pamela releases her latest single, “Squirrel Train.” Co-written by Hopkins, Dave Lenahan and Scott Barrier, the new song is Pamela’s ode to her band, and her ADHD moments that inspired the group’s moniker.
Pamela says, “This was such a fun writing session with Dave and Scott! I call my band the “Squirrel Train Band” because I’m really scatter-brained and sometimes, just all over the place with my ADHD. We were talking about what to write about one day, and I told them I would love to write a funny song about me/my band name…and this song is what we came up with! I know a lot of adults who can relate to the words of this song—I think we all have the “ADHD/ADD moments” in life—I mean, isn’t that why we start our day off with coffee? I am so excited about this release and LOVE how this song turned out!!! The talented musicians that built my vision for this song, are simply amazing. When you hear it, you’ll understand what I mean.”

WILL I? delves into the universal theme of love and uncertainty that we all can relate to.

Instead of getting lost in these worries, the song embraces them, turning them into a rhythmic dance that invites you to move through the emotions.
The mix of afropop, dancehall, and amapiano seamlessly shows Majeeed’s ability to switch between different styles. The afropop beats make you want to tap your feet, Majeeed’s dancehall vibes bring in a bit of island flavor, and the amapiano elements add a deep, rhythmic feel to the song.
