Sunny Sweeney is getting ready to release her first album in three years. Judging from the first single, 'Bad Girl Phase', the East Texas native hasn't lost any of her attitude.

Sweeney - a 2013 ACM "New Female Artist" Award nominee - showed her softer side for a couple of singles from 'Concrete' and it paid off for her. Sweeney received much deserved national recognition, but I have personally been hoping some of her songs that hang on the fringe of mainstream would catch on. That's why I'm glad the unapologetic 'Bad Girl Phase' is here, and I'm rooting for it to be a success. Check out the lyric video for the song here:

Sunny Sweeney - Bad Girl Phase

It's okay to love her less edgy hits like 'From A Table Away' and 'Staying's Worse Than Leaving", but it's songs like 'Bad Girl Phase' that shows off Sweeney's uniqueness as a singer. This song is fun, clever and cool, and shows off her Texas honky tonk roots.

Sunny Sweeney's new CD, 'Provoked' has an August 5th release date.

Sunny Sweeney - 'Bad Girl Phase' lyrics

Gonna line my eyes, I'm gonna paint them black
Gonna lose my red lipstick to a whiskey glass
I want one of those nights that goes on for days
I'm in a bad girl phase

Yeah i know where the good book stands
But right now i just can't love one man
My moral compass is taking a break
I'm in a bad girl phase

The devil on my shoulders got my ear right now The devil on my shoulder wants a beer right now
And a cigarette and a new boyfriend or two
'Cause ones no fun and love just wastes
On a good girl going through a gone wild stage
So don't be fooled by this angel face
I'm in a bad girl phase

So you can throw stones
At my hell bent heart
I'm just doing in the light what you want to do in the dark
And I won't be sorry for all the hell I've raised
I'm in a bad girl phase

The devil on my shoulders got my ear right now
The devil on my shoulder wants a beer right now
And a cigarette and a new boyfriend or two
'Cause ones no fun and love just wastes
On a good girl going through a gone wild stage
So don't be fooled by this angel face
I'm in a bad girl phase

Good girls say no, bad girls say I'm there
Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere
Good girls say no, bad girls say I'm there
Good girls go to heaven, and I'm going everywhere
