By the Way (Lindsay Ell song)

[1][2] Written by Ell with Barry Dean and Luke Laird, the song was released in October 2015 and reached the country charts of the U.S. and Canada.

Having grown up listening to female empowerment anthems by such artists as Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks, Ell set out to write a similarly-themed song for a new generation.

Directed by Desmond Desmarais, it contains clips of Ell standing and singing in a field as well as playing her guitar inside a recording studio.

[7] Chuck Wicks, Charlie Worsham, and Brooke Eden were among the surprise guest appearances.

[8] Taste of Country said that the song is "a little sweeter sounding than her previous releases, but it still has teeth.
