Jenna Davis is ready to make a splash on the pop country music scene with her debut single, “DiCaprio,” out via SMACKRecords.
Coinciding with the release, the rising singer/songwriter is sharing a music video that shows off her fierce and spunky attitude offering viewers a first impression on an artist that’s here to stay.
Written by Kelsea Ballerini, Walker Hayes, and Ross Copperman, “DiCaprio” finds the multifaceted talent bringing a fresh new sound to the genre with bright slapping guitars and an effervescent melody.
Lyrically, the tune is highly relatable as Davis sings about an ex who, to others, has seemingly moved on with someone else. But she calls his bluff knowing full well that he’s putting on a show. Pulling from the book of Shania Twain’s “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” in which she sings, “Okay, so you’re Brad Pitt?” Davis uses a different actor, asking the man in her song, “Who do you think you even are though? Leonardo?”
“DiCaprio, yeah. No, the Oscar does not go to you tonight, that’s right / I’m calling your bluff like you were calling me last night / Don’t even act like you can act like DiCaprio,” Davis sings throughout the uptempo chorus. “I know / You wish you were Jack so I would be Rose / Tryna hide your cards like your handsome heart ain’t broke / Putting on a show / Baby you ain’t no DiCaprio. Oh no, no no / DiCaprio, oh oh, oh oh.”

Davis caught up with Music Mayhem, where she talked about the concept for the music video and also shared how the tune fell into her hands and why she recorded it.
For the video, Davis shares, “My mom and I have always created the concepts for my music videos. I’m a very visual person, and love to tell stories with my music videos…. It’s very similar to a mini movie, and there are lots of people, water, and dancing! I truly couldn’t have done it without the Working Holiday Team and, of course, my SMACK Family!!”
As for the track, Davis explains that she connected with the song upon listening to it for the first time.
“My manager played the demo of ‘DiCaprio’ for me back in April. As soon as the demo ended, I turned to my mom and said, ‘This is the next cut.’ I fell in love with the up-tempo beat and clever lyrics, leading my mind to almost instantly envision the creative direction I wanted to take.”
