Carrie Underwood Explains Meaning Behind Little Toy Guns

(Radio.com) For her new song "Little Toy Guns," Carrie Underwood is taking her lyrical content inside the home. Underwood will release her new album, Greatest Hits: Decade #1, next month. While the album, due out Dec. 9, includes all her hits from the past 10 years, it also will feature two brand new tracks-one the already-released "Something in the Water," the other called "Little Toy Guns."

While little is known about the new track, The Country Vibe reports that the song is about the effect that parents fighting can have on their children. "There's these characters in the song and there's a little girl and she hears her parents fighting, as unfortunately a lot of kids do," Underwood explained. "So it's basically her saying, in her words, 'I wish their words weren't real. I wish they were like little toy guns and they didn't hurt you.'"

Underwood said that the song was inspired from seeing this happen to people around her and while the song is "rockin'" it does have a positive message.

"I've seen it first hand from different people in my life and seen how the tumultuous parental relationship between each other can affect a child," she continued. "So that's kind of what it's about, but it's a really tempo-driven song as well, so it's kind of a bit of a juxtaposition as far as the story content and the music." Read more here.
