It's true! Jamie O'Neal's signature song "There Is No Arizona" had some doubters. In fact, she might have started her career with a different song if not for one champion of this 2000 breakup ballad.

This Friday (Sept. 12), O'Neal will release a re-recording of "There is No Arizona" that Taste of Country is proud to premiere here. Vocally, the two versions are remarkably similar, which speaks to how the early '00s hitmaker has worked hard to preserve her voice.

Lyrically, the song still works as well. "There Is No Arizona" is country music's original catfish warning, inspired by a very famous author and his very famous book-turned-movie, but driven by the men who led her along before she got married.

"There Is No Arizona" was O'Neal's first release from her Shiver album.
