After notching her 24th No.1 single with “Church Bells,” Carrie Underwood is ready to hit the country radio airwaves again with the fourth U.S. single from her album Storyteller, “Dirty Laundry.”

The track follows a hardworking wife who finds out that her husband has been cheating on her. She uncovers his dirty secret while doing laundry and finding lipstick stains on his collar, none of which match her shade.

“That lipstick on your collar, well, it ain’t my shade of pink / And I can tell by the smell of that perfume, it’s like forty dollars too cheap / And there’s a little wine stain on the pocket of your white cotton thread / Well, you drink beer and whiskey, boy, and you know I don’t drink red,” she sings in the opening lines.

Underwood herself knows a bit about dirty laundry, but not in the sense of her song. The mom of 1-year-old Isaiah spends much of her off-time doing her own laundry.

“I feel like I do laundry every day, like I’m not sure where it all comes from — I mean, there’s only three of us, and one of us is very small. So, I’m really not sure how we have so much,” she confessed to Sounds Like Nashville and other media at her double No.1 party held in Nashville on Thursday afternoon.

“I’m still a mom, first and foremost,” she said, “and like this morning, I was like, ‘Oh it’s going to be a really busy day, so I just want to just be here and just play with him all morning.’ And that’s what I got for it!” she laughed. “We both had to change our clothes, so it happens! I think Ajax should sponsor my life, maybe!”

“Dirty Laundry” was written by Zach Crowell, Ashley Gorley and Hillary Lindsey and follows the No.1 hits “Smoke Break,” “Heartbeat” and “Church Bells.” Listen to the new single below.
