She rides high in the saddle with her equine fillies and behind the wheel of a pick-up truck in her new Cowboy video that follows recent singles 1, 2, 3 You & Me, Ain’t For You, Make Me Wanna Love and Miss You No More.
Cowboy is Bella’s first single for major label Island.
She wrote Cowboy with Mitchell Fenlon, Tamworth songwriter/producer Penrose and ARIA nominated Ryan Miller.
“Cowboy was written to make the listener feel strong, proud and empowered. I knew I wanted to write a song that would not only pump up a festival crowd but also pump up that person sitting in their car listening”, Bella revealed.
The video directed by Maddy King visuals was filmed at Bella’s family farm in Rockhampton.
The collaborative experience with Bella’s family wrangling horses, cows and trucks vividly depicts her music.
