Miranda Lambert is ready to freak out again.

The 40-year-old country star announced that her new 14-track album, “Postcards From Texas,” will be released on Friday, September 13th.

Along with the album announcement, Lambert unveiled her latest single, the bluesy divorce anthem “Alimony.”

“I called this lawyer in Dallas who lives in this palace, so I know he's good at winning when you think you're missing out,” she boasts in the track.

For the song, the “Drunk” singer knew she wanted “a shuffle.”

“Everyone loves a shuffle,” Lambert said in a press release.

She added: “My parents were private investigators in Dallas, Texas, who worked on a lot of divorce cases in upscale neighborhoods, so this wasn't hard to write. I'd heard about it my whole life.”

“We intentionally used every Texas metaphor we could think of. We wanted to take something pretty shitty and bring some humor back into it. I mean, the guy gets out of it pretty easily by just moving back in with his mom,” Lambert said.

In May, the “Wranglers” artist told PEOPLE that her next album will be “very country.”

“I made this record in Texas. I hadn't made an album in Texas since I was 18,” Lambert said. “I went to Arlyn Studios in Austin, and Jon Randall, my best friend and co-writer and co-producer, we worked together a lot.”

She continued, “I'm just going home to Texas to make this new season and this new chapter feel really good. I signed with Republic Records… and this new team has given me so much fire and inspiration because they're all about the music.”

Lambert gave a first taste of her upcoming album in May with “Wranglers”.

“Postcards From Texas” will be her first new solo album since the release of “Palomino” in 2022.
