Background[edit]

Kulyk wrote the track with two other songwriters in Nashville in 2018.[4] After holding the song for years, and becoming an independent artist, Kulyk elected to put the song on the list for her upcoming album. She received a great response from her producer and radio tracker, who told her she must record it.[4] Kulyk stated "sometimes you just got to go with your gut".[5]

Critical reception[edit]

Jenna Melanson of Canadian Beats Media described "Love Me Like an Outlaw" as "beautifully produced, perfectly delivered, poetic country".[6] New Country 103.1 named the song their "Trending Track" in August 2023.[7]

Live performance[edit]

Kulyk performed "Love Me Like an Outlaw" live for 92.9 The Bull.[8] She later performed the song on television for Global News Morning Saskatoon on December 8, 2023.[9]

Music video[edit]

The official music video for "Love Me Like an Outlaw" premiered exclusively on Tinnitist on November 21, 2023, and was made available on YouTube later that day.[10][11] Kulyk and her husband Eric Ethridge shot and edited most of the footage for the video together. They filmed the video on a ranch belonging to a friend of Kulyk's cousin, and at Kulyk's cousin's cabin in Canmore, Alberta.[3]
