Tiffany Woys has always been a singer but only recently did she become a songwriter. It took some tumultuous and heartbreaking life experiences for her to take the leap into writing her own story through her own songs. Her raw and personal heartbreak and hope are palpable in her I’m Your Woman. Listen to the EP now!

When the singer is also the songwriter whose life informs those lyrics, it takes the experience to a whole other level. Such is the case with Tiffany Woys' new song, “I'm Your Woman,” available on streaming platforms. Written by Woys, along with Lynn Hutton, Tammi Kidd Hutton, and Cameron Newby, the song marks her first cut as a songwriter.

Comprised of six new originals co-written entirely by Watkins with Music Row heavyweights like Jessie Jo Dillon, Ashley Monroe, The Warren Brothers, Nicolle Galyon, Rodney Clawson, David Garcia, and more, Introducing: The Heartbreak is a continuation of the rising star's April-released debut, Introducing: Lauren Watkins.
