"The Ex-Beauty Queen's Got a Gun" is a standalone 2008 single that found Brown returning to her country-pop roots with a witty, character-driven narrative. The track showcases her signature lyrical storytelling and a more mature vocal delivery.
- The single was released independently on Julie Brown's own label. It was Brown's first new music released in over a decade. The song features a spoken-word intro and a distinctive mariachi-style trumpet solo.
- This single was released more than 15 years after her previous album, 1991's "Home Touched by Fire." The track "The Ex-Beauty Queen's Got a Gun" was written by Brown and longtime collaborator and producer, Bob Esty. It was recorded in Los Angeles.
- The single did not chart on any Billboard\(r\) singles charts. The song is a departure from her 1980s comedic hits like "Mayor of the Town." This release was part of a period where Brown was also focusing on her acting career.
