Cam's Lived Experience: The Story Behind "Till There's Nothing Left"

Cam sings it because she's lived it. Her sultry new track "Till There's Nothing Left" tells a story of an irresistible romance where time and place are of no consequence. The lyrics began with a voice memo and perhaps a bottle of wine, but the inspiration behind Cam's powerful vocals stretches back even further. Collaborating with talented songwriters Hillary Lindsey, Jeff Bhasker, and Tyler Johnson, Cam has crafted a new track that resonates with genuine emotion and storytelling.

The creation of "Till There's Nothing Left" is filled with memories and moments that shaped the song. Bhasker and Johnson were instrumental in Cam's debut album, Untamed, released in 2015, where they co-wrote the singer's Grammy-nominated ballad. It was Lindsey who left the voice memo that would inspire the song's opening lyric, a testament to the collaborative spirit that fuels Cam's artistry.

In a light-hearted moment, Cam recalls how the songwriting session unfolded: "I think they'd kind of whipped out the wine because it was like, 'La, la, la, la, la, la,'" she recalls, impersonating Lindsey's tipsy slur. The playful atmosphere, combined with the creative sparks flying, led to the birth of a song that captures the essence of passion and connection.

During an interview with Taste of Country Nights, Cam admitted to feeling a bit nervous about the themes explored in the song because they resonate so deeply with her personal experiences. Drawing wisdom from her grandmother, who grew up in rural Canada, Cam found comfort and perspective in navigating these intimate topics. The conversation also touched on her life as a new mother, juggling parenting responsibilities with her husband Adam Weaver.

Song Lyrics

Cam's "Till There's Nothing Left" Song Lyrics:

I wanna steal every breath of fire / From every star in the southern sky / I wanna lay down in the dark / Take a match right to your heart / I wanna hide with you in the rain / In the eye of a hurricane / I wanna call it for what it is / Give you everything I've got to give.

Chorus:
Till there's nothing left /
