Fresh off a string of standout performances during Country Music Week, breakout Canadian country artist Teigen Gayse channels her infectious energy into the release of her brand new single “The Best Part” – out today across all platforms. Equal parts sassy and self-assured, “The Best Part” finds Gayse leaning into her playful edge and delivering one of her most magnetic performances to date. With hook-laden production and her powerhouse vocals front and center, the track calls out the one who fumbled their shot at love. Co-written by Gayse with Gavin Slate, Emily Reid, and Jenna Walker, it’s a tongue-in-cheek anthem for anyone who’s ever realized they were the one that got away.
“‘The Best Part’ is a fun, outgoing song that tells the story of a guy who completely fumbled and missed out on all the best things he could have had in a relationship. For me, it’s about turning that disappointment into something lighthearted and empowering — a reminder that sometimes the best closure is realizing you were always the best part,” says Gayse.
“The Best Part” follows the success of Gayse’s recent singles “If You Show Me Yours” (produced and co-written by Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger), which landed in the Top 30 at Canadian country radio and surpassed 3M streams, and “Sleeping With Her,” which became her highest charting single to date, peaking in the Top 20. Together, these releases have cemented Gayse as one of country’s most exciting emerging voices, with over 10M global streams and 48M TikTok views to her name.
With national media support from outlets including eTalk, ET Canada, and CMT, and a growing list of career milestones – including a sweep at the 2024 BCCMA Awards where she won Female Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, and Interactive Artist of the Year, along with a CCMA nomination for Breakthrough Artist of the Year – Gayse continues to carve out a space in Canadian country music that’s uniquely her own. Her new single underscores not just her songwriting craft, but also the cheeky, fearless spirit fans have come to love.
As she gears up for the next chapter, “The Best Part” is another bold step forward in a career defined by sharp storytelling, powerhouse vocals, and undeniable star power.
