Country singer-songwriter Jenny Tolman has released her most vulnerable track to date, “Maybe Next Month.” Written entirely by Tolman, the song came to her in the middle of the night, inspired by her best friend’s emotional journey of trying to conceive.
The ballad has already resonated deeply with women around the world, earning hundreds of thousands of views on TikTok. Fans have used the sound to create their own videos, courageously sharing personal experiences with infertility. The trend has grown into a powerful expression of solidarity, giving a voice to a struggle that is often kept private.
In the lyrics, Tolman captures the intimate ache of walking past a pink-painted spare bedroom, praying for a miracle, and whispering “maybe next month” through tears, while still holding onto hope for tomorrow.
“Watching someone I love live through this chapter of her life, I knew I had to put her story into song,” Tolman explains. “‘Maybe Next Month’ is for anyone who has prayed, hoped, and waited, only to be met with disappointment. I want them to know they’re not alone. Infertility is a very real struggle that’s not talked about nearly enough.”
