Miranda Lambert Confesses She ‘Stalked’ Songwriter Of Her New Single 'Little Red Wagon' — The Niece Of Judy Garland (WATCH)

Miranda Lambert admits to being a stalker. A musical stalker.

The songstress is following her hit song "Somethin' Bad," which featured Carrie Underwood, with her new single, "Little Red Wagon," from her smash album "Platinum."

The up-tempo, foot-stomping track showcases lyrics like "You can't ride in my little red wagon / The front seat's broken and the axle's draggin' / No you can't step to this backyard swagger / You know it ain't my fault when I'm walkin' jaws droppin'."

The song was co-written by Joe Ginsberg and Audra Mae, the niece of Judy Garland. Mae originally included the song on her 2012 album, "Audra Mae & The Almighty Sound," reports Great American Country.

Lambert may have never heard the tune if not for one of her musician friends.

John Eddie is an artist who has come out on the road with us before and opened a few times," Lambert told NewsOK.com. "He called my tour manager three or four years ago and said, 'Hey, tell Miranda about this girl Audra Mae, specifically her song 'Little Red Wagon.' I think she could rock it.'"

Lambert declares she loved the song the instant she heard it, so she was compelled to seek out Mae.

"When I heard it, I thought, 'Oh god. This girl is ridiculous,'" Lambert said. "So I stalked her down. We're the same age, and she's from Oklahoma. I asked her point blank: 'What's your plan for 'Little Red Wagon'? Can I cut it? Can I even try to be a hair on the ass of how you did it?'"
