Little Big Town Perform 'The Daughters' on 'Tonight Show'!

Little Big Town hit the stage on last night’s (June 26) episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon!

The superstar country act – Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook – served as the musical guest for the evening and performed their latest single “The Daughters.”

The song focuses on the unfair expectations society places on women from a very young age, arguing that they’re ultimately obstacles to becoming their full selves.

“It just seems like it feels really needed right now,” Fairchild said in a statement alongside her bandmates Jimi, Phillip and Kimberly. “Just encouraging champions for the girls out there.”
