Gabby Barrett is featuring her husband, Cade Foehner, and two children, Baylah May, 2, and Augustine Boone, 8 months, in the new music video for her song “Glory Days,” directed by Alexa Campbell and co-produced by Barrett and Taylor Vermillion. Barrett said that when she saw the video for the first time, she “couldn’t stop smiling … Seeing my sweet family in this video just melts my heart. I feel so unbelievably blessed.”

The “American Idol” alum said that the song ‘Glory Days” is so personal to her, which is why she wanted her family to co-star in the music video: “What you see literally are my ‘Glory Days’ right now. It’s sitting on the porch and reading the Bible with my husband or rocking my baby to sleep. This video perfectly brings the lyrics to life.” Barrett added: “Just filming with our kids for the first time is something I’ll never forget. We had so much fun during the water balloon fight and were absolutely drenched after filming. The whole shoot we couldn’t stop laughing! … We can all get so caught up in living for the future that we forget to cherish the moments we have right now. I hope that’s the takeaway, to be grateful for what you have.”

“Glory Days” is the first release from Barrett’s upcoming sophomore album, and is the follow-up to her songs “I Hope,” “The Good Ones” and “Pick Me Up.” Take a look at the video for “Glory Days” – here.
