(The Image Direct for Fox News Digital)<\/p>\n<p>On top of her professional connection to Urban, here are five things to know about the rising star.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1. Maggie moved to Nashville to pursue a dream at 18 years old<\/p>\n<p>During a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/readthereporter.com\/maggie-baughs-been-everywhere-man-but-you-can-see-her-right-here\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Hamilton County Reporter<\/a> last month, Baugh said, &#8220;I started going to Nashville when I was 13 and started songwriting around the same age. I put out my very first record when I was 13 years old.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I was 18 years old, I moved to Nashville and started touring a bunch,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Last year, I was on tour with Keith Urban and it\u2019s been a crazy wild journey, man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. She&#8217;s a self-starter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During that same interview, Baugh revealed no one in her family has a musical background.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nobody in my family plays music,&#8221; Baugh said. &#8220;I\u2019m literally the only one. Isn\u2019t that crazy? I\u2019m the oddball. My dad is a microbiologist, and my mom is a stay-at-home mom who runs a dog training business on the side.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/maggie-baugh-3.jpg\" alt=\"Maggie Baugh looking away from the camera\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>Maggie Baugh, born in Florida, moved to Nashville when she was 18 years old.\u00a0 (Maggie Baugh Instagram)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had to write my feelings down,&#8221; Baugh told People in 2021. &#8220;I chose music as an outlet instead of doing something horrible that kids do now when they&#8217;re depressed and bullied. I fell in love with music and pouring my heart out into words.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>3. Music is her true love<\/p>\n<p>Baugh once compared music to her &#8220;boyfriend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like music has always just been my boyfriend. So, whenever I have a boyfriend, it&#8217;s always like, &#8216;Oh, you&#8217;re just temporary,'&#8221; she told People. &#8220;But when I do go through a breakup, I don&#8217;t go to the bar. I put my guitar in my hands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Baugh recently teased a new single about fighting temptation among negativity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is so many negative vibes in the world right now. I wanted to write this song to give some encouragement,&#8221; Baugh wrote on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DOrfQl-jaAj\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, alongside a preview of the song.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The lyrics to the song, titled &#8220;The Devil Win,&#8221; read: \u00a0&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what the hell I believe in\/ I don&#8217;t know how to heal my soul or how to fight this feeling\/ It&#8217;s a damn good place to go\/ No matter how close I get to the burning edge\/ Tempting as it is\/ I won&#8217;t let the devil win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fans were quick to point out the coincidental timing. &#8220;Hmm interesting lyrics here,&#8221; one user wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><strong>LIKE WHAT YOU\u2019RE READING?

But my following was 20,000 followers or something like that. And so, literally a month ago, I was just in my room hanging out and I was [thinking], \u2018I want to do this thing called Finish the Lick.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.
