Change is something Lauren Alaina has found closure with over the past few years of her life, and she accepts it for the good in her new music video for “Doin’ Fine.”

Donning a variety of ensembles from a professional ruffled look to a sparkly yet sport two-piece set, Alaina stuns throughout the video as she sings the autobiographical lyrics about letting life be. Showing off her vulnerable emotions while belting out the words to her life story, the country singer doesn’t hold back from telling her story like it is in the video.

The video for “Doin’ Fine” reflects back to the transformation Alaina has seen in both her personal and professional life. Laying down her family history and emotional past within the almost three-and-a-half minute tune, Alaina felt nervous to air out the dirty laundry from her private life and shedding the spotlight onto her loved ones’ dealings.

“When a really big life changing event takes place, you feel a flood of emotions,” Alaina said in a press release. “Some days you cry. Some days you’re angry and some days you’re happy. It was really important to me to use the three and a half minutes of the video to share all of the emotions I felt while watching my parents go through a divorce, seeing my dad through rehab, and my adjusting to a new life in Nashville. Life is full of unpredictability, and so are we. It’s okay to not be okay all of the time, but we have to get to a place where we are ‘Doin’ Fine.’”

While the video goes in and out of scenes shading Alaina away and bringing light to a rather sore subject, “Doin’ Fine” became an anthem for the singer to represent herself and stand for all of the issues she handled throughout her development as an artist and a young woman.

“I got really tired of hiding who I am,” Alaina explained to Sounds Like Nashville and other media at a past event. “I did that for a really long time, and I was trying to be this perfect girl with this perfect family and this perfect body. And those people aren’t real. So, I got tired of trying to be that, and I think that this song just kind of speaks to that message overall. That’s my message as an artist. Nobody’s perfect, and we have to accept our flaws. And I think this song kind of follows that up really well.”

The country music industry recently recognized Alaina’s dedication on “Doin’ Fine” and her other tracks, and delivered her a CMA nomination in the New Artist of the Year category. The 51st Annual CMA Awards will air on Wednesday, November 8, on ABC.
