In 2005, Louisiana-born and North Carolina-raised singer Kellie Pickler landed a spot in the fifth season of American Idol. Though she finished sixth, the former waitress and Miss North Carolina contestant charmed American audiences with her Southern twang and blonde ambition, resulting in a contract with BNA Records that yielded her debut album, Small Town Girl, in the fall of 2006.
Her first single, "Red High Heels,” debuted on September 13, 2006; and its music video was released on October 20, 2006. It reached #1 on the GAC Top 20 Countdown on February 9th and received a nomination for the CMT Video Awards for "Best Breakthrough Artist Video.” Her debut album, Small Town Girl, released on October 31, 2006 topped Billboard's Top Country Albums and it sold over 79,000 copies in its first week.
Pickler was nominated for "Top New Female Vocalist" for the 42nd Academy of Country Music Awards.
On September 2007, Pickler released a version of "Santa Baby" for a Christmas country compilation.
Following the release of the third single “Things That Never Cross a Man's Mind” from her debut album, Kellie returned to the studio to work on her second album. On May 8, 2008, her official website announced that she would sing the first single from the new album, "Don't You Know You're Beautiful?" at the Academy of Country Music Awards on May 18, 2008.
