Given their ongoing feud, we're imagining Nene Leakes doesn't love Kim Zolciak's new ditty. As for rest of us...

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star leaked a snippet on Monday of "Love Me First," her latest vocal opus and first official stab in the country music genre after her unfortunate foray in the dance world with "Tardy for the Party."

So how cringe-worthy is the new cut?

OK…we're not exactly crying in our beer, but the reality TV personality and aspiring popster informed her Twitter followers that the tune's lyrics are drawn straight from her life (though there's nary a mention of Nene; sorry Housewives fans!)

"My new song is so emotional....the lyrics we wrote r abt my life & so true!!!" she tweeted.

Such as...

"I'm running on empty/can't let it defeat me/I'm standing here a stronger woman making changes in my life," Zolciak croons. "Now I'm learning every day/there ain't no other way/before I love somebody else, gotta love me first."

Well, somebody's gotta do the dirty work. The autobiographical (though not auto-tuned) tune hits iTunes in two weeks.

Consider yourselves warned.
