Lauren Alaina Releases Touching New Music Video For “Heaven Sent”
Country singer and new mom Lauren Alaina released the music video for her new song “Heaven Sent” Friday.
Lauren and her husband Cam Arnold welcomed their first child on Wednesday June 11th, a baby girl named Beni Doll Arnold. Beni was born at 8:44 am, weighing 7 lbs 13oz and measuring 19 inches long.
Along with news of her daughter’s arrival, Lauren shared a “little surprise” with her fans!
The hit is a touching melody about Beni, as Lauren found out she was pregnant with the little girl soon after her own father, J.J. Suddeth, passed away in July of 2024.
The American Idol alum reflected on the bittersweet experience of learning of her pregnancy during a time of grief and welcoming her daughter just before her first Father’s Day without her dad. She wrote:
“I wasn’t sure when I would share ‘Heaven Sent’ but watching my own husband become a father the last couple of days has made me want to share it with you now. She came just before Father’s Day. My first without my own father. A day that will forever be hard to me, but I now have a new and perfect reason to celebrate it.”

J.J.’s Heartbreaking Unexpected Passing
J.J. tragically passed away last summer (July 23), and Lauren shared the news the following morning.
“We lost my daddy last night, and I really don’t have words yet. I want to let y’all know that I’m not able to play the three shows I had scheduled for this weekend in Savannah, Virginia Beach, and Charlotte as I am going home to be with my family. Thank you for your prayers and understanding,” she said at the time.
Just months prior, J.J. joined Lauren to celebrate as she married Cam during a beautiful ceremony in Nashville. Lauren wrote him a song that played for their father-daughter dance.
“It was such a special moment during our wedding. I will truly never forget it,” Lauren said when she shared a video of her and her father on her wedding day.
Happy Fathers Day to my old man with a heart the size of Texas!! I love you so much daddy and hope you have the best day fishin’. Love, your turd (pinky) 🤍
