Cali has mastered the boundaries of all of reality.

In terms of genre, “Last Name” is a blend of today’s country-pop style with contemporary ballads. Along with Tucker, Texas singer/songwriter Derek Robertson, Tricia Battani, and the Grammy-nominated artist/producer G’harah “PK” Degeddingseze wrote the song. It was a testament to ingenious songwriting and fine production. Tucker’s voice is dominant throughout the whole song and is strong, powerful, and tender at the same time. She has a similar mix of soul and sass that was recognized by a lot of renowned music gurus who stated that Tucker is “addictive” and “sweet and sassy...” It is a song that is remembered because of not only its catchy hook, but also its self-determination and resilience message.

In terms of visuals, the music video is one of Tucker’s more impressive ones. She is well known for her award-winning visuals. The production quality here has the same tendency. The story happens in a fantasy world, with beautiful set designs and costumes tied to her previous works. Tucker is definitely showcasing her work in a combination of high visual appeal and down-to-earth.

Besides the screen, the song “Last Name” signifies a pivotal point in the life of Tucker. From singing the National Anthem in front of 80,000 NASCAR fans and millions watching on television, to performing in Las Vegas at Aria, The Wynn, and MGM Grand, Tucker's life has been a storybook journey. Tucker's mother, LaCosta Tucker, and aunt, Tanya Tucker, have offered her millions of global streams. Tucker is proving to the world that she is not just a figure of the past but is stepping into the limelight in her own way.

In essence, “Last Name” is a form of an artistic music video. The release, which is currently available on YouTube and other major platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music, further cements Cali Tucker as undoubtedly one of the most anticipated upcoming pivots of the industry. It is hard to ignore the fact that the growing theme of the video, which is captivating among other elements, is likely to sway audiences beyond the current fanbase. Apart from that, the video introduces the world to a new Tucker and serves as a reminder of her bold statement that emphasizes the world also needs to remember her surname.
