Myrtle Beach, SC – January 16, 2026 – Bailey Thompson releases her new single, “Be Careful What You Ask For,” a pop-forward, feel-good track with a funky, instantly memorable chorus that delivers a meaningful message with energy and charm. While the song is light and catchy on the surface, its heart runs deep–exploring the reality that God sometimes answers prayers with a “yes” not to reward us, but to teach us, guiding us toward what we truly need.
Inspired by a moment of hard-earned wisdom shared during a conversation between a mother and her teenage daughter, the song grew out of Bailey’s own recognition of how often God has allowed her to chase what looked right, only to reveal something better. That tension between desire and surrender is wrapped in an upbeat groove, clever lyricism, and a chorus that sticks long after the song ends.
With honest lines like “He’ll let you taste your will before you learn to crave His will more,” “Be Careful What You Ask For” balances vulnerability and joy, inviting listeners to reflect without feeling weighed down. Its pop sensibility and rhythmic flair make it accessible and fun, while its message encourages trust in God’s loving direction–even when the lesson comes the hard way.
“Be Careful What You Ask For” arrives during a season of creative momentum for Bailey Thompson. Since signing with NRT Music last summer, she has released two singles, including “Humble Pie” and “Room Left To Bend,” quickly establishing her voice as honest, faith-filled, and connected. Building on that foundation, Bailey is currently working on new music with Florida-based producer Blake Dahlmeyer, with releases planned throughout 2026 as she continues to refine her sound and expand her reach.
Bailey Thompson’s mission is to create music that gives voice to the brokenhearted, hope to the overlooked, and light to those walking through dark seasons, all for the glory of God. Shaped by her own experiences with rejection and loneliness, she writes songs that remind the unseen they are seen, the unheard they are heard, and the lonely they are never truly alone. With “Be Careful What You Ask For,” Bailey continues to blend authenticity, faith, and infectious pop melodies into music that connects deeply and joyfully.
“Be Careful What You Ask For” is now available wherever Christian music is streamed.
