About "Praying Woman" by Anne Wilson and Lainey Wilson
Anne Wilson, who makes Christian music, had DM'd with Lainey Wilson but not met her in person before she invited her to write a song together.
“I was so nervous because I love Lainey,” Anne Wilson told People. They decided to write a song about their mothers, and that's how "Praying Woman" ended up on Anne Wilson's album Rebel. “She’s exactly 10 years older than me,” Anne said about Lainey. “She’s a big sister to me. She’s got so much experience that she’s been so gracious to share and kind of be a mentor to me.”

The song is about the quiet strength of a mother figure who prays daily. Even though those around her may not realize that she's "Underlining the gospel and black coffee sippin'" before the household wakes up or "thanking God for those fast asleep blessings," she knows that Jesus can hear her.
On YouTube, one commenter praised the way the two women shared space on the song, keenly observing, "These two are spectacular together. No egos or competition, just enjoying singing together and each other’s voice. Spectacular!"
