Mackenzie Porter Joins Elijah Woods for a Reimagined Version of “Last Girl”

On-the-rise country chart-topper MacKenzie Porter joins forces with multi-platinum artist and producer elijah woods for a new version of woods' fan-favorite ode to love “last girl (feat. MacKenzie Porter)” out now. Originally featured on woods' bright orange everglow EP, he enlists Porter's distinct country-pop shimmer to pair with his dreamy, synth-pop vocals, creating a perfect complement on the reimagined, cross-genre love song.

I'm such a fan of Elijah's music and when he brought me this song, I knew I had to be a part of it,” Porter shares. “It's the perfect mix of honest country lyricism and dreamy-pop. I'm so excited to collaborate with another incredible Canadian artist.”

“As soon as I heard MacKenzie's vocals I knew she would be perfect for 'last girl.' It was written with a blend of easy listening pop and country undertones,” says woods. “The song lends itself perfectly to a duet, and I couldn't be happier on how it turned out.”

Heading out on her first-ever Canadian headline tour, Porter kicks off the home trek tonight in Toronto with support from labelmate Griffen Palmer. Continuing her headline dates through the month of November, Porter then returns to Nashville, Tenn. on Nov. 20 to host MacKenzie Porter + Friends Present: Country vs. Cancer, a concert benefitting the American Cancer Society hosted by Porter and featuring performances by Dustin Lynch, Nate Smith, Walker Hayes, Lily Rose, and Alana Springsteen.
