Lane Smith Showcases Raw Emotion In New Duet “Someone You Don’t Wanna Know” Featuring Ashley Walls

 Texas-born country artist Lane Smith releases his first collaboration, “Someone You Don’t Wanna Know” featuring Ashley Walls, available now on all streaming platforms.

“Someone You Don’t Wanna Know” is a flirty, relatable duet about the spark that feels too good to resist — even when you know it’s bound to burn out. With playful chemistry and emotional honesty, Lane Smith and Ashley Walls tell the story of two people caught in a cycle of temptation, where one drink leads to another and love always ends in regret.

“I’ve been waiting a long time for the right duet,” says Lane. “Writing this song with Ashley and our two favorite co-writers made it truly special. It’s full of emotion and energy — I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

Co-written by Lane Smith, Ashley Walls, Aron Rosing, and Charles Walker, the single builds high tension through verses about two people who know exactly where the night is headed, and the heartbreak waiting on the other side.

“I knew this song was something special from the start,” Ashley shares. “When I met Lane on the road, I immediately felt inspired to collaborate with him, and finding out that two of my favorite co-writers were part of his camp made it an easy decision. When we finished the hook, I just sat there smiling — it felt real, raw, and honest.”

“Someone You Don’t Wanna Know” follows Lane’s sophomore album, Austin. Lane first made his mark with his 2018 debut EP, followed by his self-titled full-length album in 2023. Since then, he’s checked off bucket-list venues like Gruene Hall and shared stages with Matt Stell, Colt Ford, Chase Matthews, Creed Fisher, and Kyle Park.

A small-town Texas artist and former rodeo bullfighter, Lane’s music blends Texas grit with Nashville polish. His work has been featured by Wide Open Country and Holler, landed placements on CMT’s The Round Up Playlist and the ACM’s Fresh Music Friday Playlist, and he recently signed with BMG Publishing. With millions of streams across platforms, Lane’s authentic storytelling and country roots continue to resonate with fans nationwide.

“Someone You Don’t Wanna Know” further cements Lane’s reputation as a powerful storyteller — capturing love, temptation, and regret through a lens that’s unmistakably his own.
