Country singer Carly Pearce has admitted she regrets releasing "Finish Your Sentences," a romantic duet she recorded with her then-husband, fellow country artist Michael Ray, during a game of "Sip or Spill" with Entertainment Tonight. The candid remark drew attention as another example of Pearce's openness about her personal life, coming as she promotes her new album, which is themed around honesty.

Pearce and Ray were married for less than a year before divorcing in 2020, making the loved-up duet an awkward relic in hindsight; she joked "that didn't age well" while referencing her new LP, Honest Woman. During the same interview, she also shared other candid anecdotes, including a disastrous date and a gig on her "29" tour in Washington DC where she admitted to over-serving herself alcohol before performing. She also discussed Honest Woman, calling it her favourite and best work yet, describing it as a return to her traditional country and bluegrass roots after nearly two years of work, inspired by a period of creative rediscovery following the song "Dream Come True."
