Gabrielle Mooney, Sister of Dan + Shay’s Shay Mooney, Releases New Single

Talent must run in the family! Gabrielle Mooney, sister of Dan + Shay‘s Shay Mooney, just dropped a new song, “Come On In.” The song was inspired by her own family, and the emotions of losing her grandfather.

“I had just gone through family pictures, and been at my grandparents’ place. My grandpa had just passed and my grandma was not doing well,” Gabrielle told People. “Later on, I had a writing session and all the memories came flooding back, from my incredible childhood on the farm to the way I was raised.”

The song, which says in part, “Every time I go home, it feels like time has stood still, but with a few more stories that I’ve missed,” is part of her embracing her own idyllic childhood.

“When I accepted who I am and where I’m from, then I loved country music, because it spoke about everything I grew up on—riding four-wheelers and going to bonfires and being a mile from every neighbor we had,” Gabrielle said. “When I write country music, it’s just me writing about my life.”

Music fans may not be familiar with Gabrielle Mooney, but they already know her music. The 30-year-old has written songs recorded by country artists, including Walker Hayes’ “”90s Country,” as well as a few of her own songs, but under the name Lyrx. But now, Gabrielle is ready to embrace her own name as she pursues music on her own.

“My family cared so much about their values and Jesus that they named us with purposeful names, based on the Hebrew meanings,” she explained. “[So] I’m proud that I’m debuting this special song with my given name, Gabrielle.”
