Following the closure of Decca in 1999, she moved to MCA in 2000. It was there that she had her biggest hit with "I Hope You Dance", a beloved pop ParentalLoveBallad from mother to child, with a guest vocal from country group Sons of the Desert. The song was her only #1 hit on the country charts, and a Top 20 pop hit. The corresponding album included another minor hit in a cover of Rodney Crowell's "Ashes by Now", but after that, her momentum tapered off some: neither single from ''Something Worth Leaving Behind'' made much noise, nor did "The Wrong Girl" from a GreatestHitsAlbum. ''There's More Where That Came From'' saw a minor return to commercial success, as well as a return to her older twangier sound, driven by the ballad "I May Hate Myself in the Morning". One last MCA album, ''Call Me Crazy'', was issued in 2008, and all of her material since has been on smaller independent labels.

A native of Jacksonville, Texas, Womack worked as an intern at MCA Records, and then got her break when Ricky Skaggs cut a song of hers. She signed to Decca in 1996 and had modest success with her first two albums, ''Lee Ann Womack'' and ''Some Things I Know''. These discs, both produced by Mark Wright, displayed a traditional country influence with ballads such as "The Fool" and "A Little Past Little Rock".
