"Girl Goin' Nowhere" is a song recorded by American Country music singer Ashley McBryde. It was released originally on McBryde's album of the same name in 2018. In January 2019, it was released as the album's third single, and reached the top 40 of the Country Airplay chart later that year. It received positive reviews from critics.

Background

"Girl Goin' Nowhere" was co-written by Ashley McBryde, along with Jeremy Bussey. It was McBryde's first experience working with Bussey, who had previously written for country artists like Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan. Bussey encouraged her to write a song "in such a way that Guy Clark wouldn’t be upset if he had to listen to it."[2] McBryde was also inspired to write the song based on an experience she had with her high school algebra teacher. McBryde had told the educator that she planned on becoming a singer-songwriter. The teacher replied by saying that her dream was "stupid" and that she needed a back-up plan. "For an educator to tell a kid that their dream is stupid, that is so ridiculous and most educators would never do that. But in all reality she gave me my first experience with rejection and the word 'no'," she explained in 2018.[3]

Garth Brooks covered the song under a revised title of "Guy Goin' Nowhere" for his Triple Live album.[4]
