Breanna Nix recently opened up about her brand-new song, “Higher”, and the heartfelt message behind it. To her, this isn’t just another release—it’s a personal anthem, a declaration of resilience in the face of life’s toughest challenges. In a world that can so easily knock people down, “Higher” is her way of reminding listeners that they can always get back up, stronger than before. The song’s soaring melody and powerful lyrics speak directly to the human spirit, offering a message of hope and renewal.
What makes this moment even more special is how Breanna chose to share the song with the world. Rather than a flashy premiere or polished music video, she posted a simple, deeply touching clip of herself lip-syncing “Higher” with her young son. In the video, she mouths the words with emotion while her little boy bounces along, dancing freely in the background. It’s raw, it’s real—and it captures everything the song is about: joy, persistence, and the quiet strength that comes from love and family.
Breanna explained that “Higher” was born during a period of intense self-reflection and growth. She had faced setbacks, doubts, and moments where giving up felt easier than holding on. But through it all, she kept writing, kept singing, and kept believing in the power of music to heal and uplift. The result is a song that doesn’t just tell her story—it speaks to anyone who has ever fallen and found the courage to rise again.

For Breanna Nix, this was never about charts or numbers—it was about connection. “Higher” is a celebration of rising above doubt, embracing who you are, and finding light even in the darkest times. And in sharing it the way she did, she’s given us more than a song—she’s given us a glimpse of the heart behind the music.
American Idol‘s season 23 finale day is here, and we can’t wait to see who will be crowned the winner!
For the last few months, folks have tuned in to see aspiring singers vie for a chance to make it big in the world of music. Well, now it’s up to America to make the big decision, with Jamal Roberts, John Foster and Breanna Nix‘s fates in their hands. And with judges Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie delivering feedback after every performance, it’s easy to say they are ready to see who will rise to the top as well.
But right before we see who emerges victorious, Breanna revealed an interesting detail about her journey.
According to an interview with Billboard, back in 2024, Breanna was busy posting music videos on TikTok with her husband Austin. Already leaning into her singing idols (like Carrie) for song inspiration with each video she posted online, Breanna decided she’d do something in secret. She submitted an audition tape to American Idol without her family knowing, and she even forgot about it when she received an email reply with an offer to sing for the judges.
“I submitted a video [to Idol] and didn’t tell anyone,” she told the outlet. “I forgot about it. Didn’t tell my husband. Didn’t tell anybody. I didn’t think anything was going to come out of it. Two months went by, and I checked my email.”
Eventually, Breanna decided to audition for American Idol season 23 with Austin and their son Emerson in tow. She tapped into Carrie’s musical catalog for the big moment, and she stunned the judges with her rendition of “Jesus, Take the Wheel.”
So, where does Breanna get the strength to give everything she’s got into the American Idol competition? As she told the cameras during her audition, her inspiration to do well comes down to one little person in her life.
“I’m doing this because I want Emerson to know that anything is possible,” she stated in a clip posted on YouTube. “He’s watching his mama go chase after her dreams. I just hope one day that he’ll do the same thing.”
Aw!
