The new video not only shows the 27-year-old singer performing the truthful song, but it also features an incredible story of a woman risking it all to make her dreams come true – brilliantly played by actress Shelley Hennig and actor Garrett Hines.

“It’s hard for me to be vulnerable sometimes, so making the ‘I Could Use a Love Song’ video was tough because it’s extremely personal to my story to getting where I am today,” Maren shared with fans on her Facebook page May 5. It’s been a process, but thankfully, our AMAZING cast Shelley Hennig and Garrett Hines brought this chapter to life in such a raw way.”
