[2] On February 19, 2021, Pearce released 29, a seven track extended play produced by Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne, and Jimmy Robbins about the struggles in her personal life during her 29th year.

The project was critically acclaimed and so Pearce re-teamed with the trio alongside Tony Brown to release a full-length version, which would become her third studio album 29: Written in Stone, on September 17, 2021.

[4] Pearce released the album's lead single, "We Don't Fight Anymore", which features harmony vocals from Chris Stapleton, on June 16, 2023.

A press release described the track as "an upbeat, cheeky love letter to the genre that chronicles Pearce's long standing relationship to country music and the impact it has had on her life.

"[7] The second promotional singe, "Heels Over Head", was released on October 6, 2023, and is described as "a sassy, fun, cheeky (and incredibly sarcastic) little tune about Carly coming to the realization that the guy she likes doesn't want to work quite so hard for a good time.
