September 26, 2025 (Toronto, ON) — Rising Canadian country artist Kelsi Mayne is laying everything on the line with her striking new single “Someone Who Knows,” out today. Vulnerable, powerful and deeply personal, the track turns betrayal into hard-earned wisdom, reminding listeners of the strength that can be found in even the most painful chapters of life. 

 

 

Already praised by industry leaders, “Someone Who Knows” marks a defining moment in Mayne’s career, showcasing her honesty, resilience and powerful storytelling. Written in the aftermath of a broken engagement and the sudden end of a ten-year relationship that unravelled overnight, “Someone Who Knows” started as lyrics emotionally scribbled mid-flight. Recorded with nothing more than a guitar, shaker, pedal steel and a single harmony the very next day with acclaimed producer Ryan Stewart (Carly Rae Jepsen, Shawn Desman, Owl City, Simple Plan), the track captures a haunting honesty and intimacy that couldn’t be forced. 

 

"I wanted this song to be a source of advice," says Mayne. "A little voice of reason in those moments of weakness. My hope is that it saves someone the way music saved me. If it prevents even one heart from breaking, then it's served its purpose."

 

Mayne’s journey to this release hasn’t been without obstacles. Following the heartbreak of her broken engagement, she also faced the loss of her grandmother and a close friend within weeks. These challenges fuelled her creativity, inspiring her to dig deeper as a songwriter and artist. “Someone Who Knows” reflects the growth, cementing Mayne’s evolution into one of Canadian country’s most compelling voices. 

 

With over 3 million career streams, 2x CMAOntario Female Artist of the Year and Rising Star nominations, and standout performances at major festivals including Boots and Hearts, Cavendish Beach Music Festival and Calgary Stampede, Mayne has carved out a reputation for her powerhouse vocals, genre-bending sound and undeniable stage presence. She’s shared stages with artists like Meghan Patrick and Russell Dickerson and her singles “Breaking Bad” and “Georgia Off My Mind” continue to build momentum with fans across the country. 

 

With “Someone Who Knows,” Kelsi Mayne turns her most painful moments into her most powerful release, a song that carries the strength of her story to anyone who needs to hear it.
