The highly anticipated Keith Urban and Lainey Wilson collaboration, "GO HOME W U," has arrived.
Of the track's songwriting genesis, Keith shares in a press release, "I wrote 'GO HOME W U' in 2020 with BRELAND, Sam (Sumser) and Sean (Small). We had a blast writing it. It started out as a late-night drum loop, I grabbed a bass guitar and started playing a simple recurring bass line."
"Before we knew it, we were writing a chorus that could be sung by any drunk person in any bar anywhere in the world," he recalls. "A friend of mine suggested the idea of making the song a duet and I immediately thought of Lainey. Besides the fact that I love her voice, she’s got the swagger and attitude that fit so well with the song."
Lainey adds, "Keith has been someone in the industry I’ve taken notes from for a while now. From watching him at CMA Fest every year growing up to hearing the way he treats people up and down music row, he has taught me a lot."
"He’s a genuine supporter of mine and I am honored I get to continue to learn from one of the best," says the "Heart Like a Truck" singer. "Getting to do a song with Keith is a notch on my belt I am very proud of."
"GO HOME W U" is the latest preview of Keith's upcoming new album, slated for the fall. His recent releases include "Straight Line" and "Messed Up as Me," which is now #28 and ascending the country charts.

Miranda Lambert is kicking off a new career chapter with "Wranglers."
Arriving as the first release via her joint recording contract with Republic Records and Big Loud Records, the female empowerment anthem showcases a side of Miranda fans have known her for: feisty, tough and strong.
"Wranglers' is a classic tale of a woman taking her power back. I think we can all identify with the character in this song, because we have all had a time in our life where we needed to find our strength, and also get a little revenge on someone who did us wrong or hurt us," Miranda shares.
"I am so proud to sing this song. It feels like it could have been on the same record as 'Gunpowder & Lead' in a lot of ways," she says. "'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' is a pretty powerful statement, and the way it’s written, you can tell, we’re not kidding."
"Wranglers" is the first preview of a new album Miranda's been working on.
"All I know is I’ve got a lot more to say, and a lot more music coming soon. So for anyone who’s ever seen themselves in one of my songs, especially the rowdy ones, get ready!" the Texas native teases.
You can catch Miranda performing at the upcoming ACM Awards, streaming live May 16 at 8 p.m. ET on Prime Video.

"Yeah, like I'm not afraid of this," TJ adds. "Whether this goes on forever, good. If it doesn't, then if you're looking for a heart to break, then break mine. Let's do this."

Parker McCollum has rolled out a music video for his song "Things I Never Told You."
The video features Parker fully in his element onstage at a sold-out headlining show at Texas' Moody Center, but the focal person is not him — it's his mother.
Besides performance footage, the video interweaves heartfelt photos and clips of Parker and his mom from over the years, including them dancing together on Parker's wedding day.
Though Parker didn't write "Things I Never Told You," he says its storyline resonated with him.
"My buddy Taylor Phillips sent this song to me one day. He wrote it with Lynn Hutton and Monty Criswell and just one time through…I didn’t even listen to the whole song, but halfway through after the first chorus, I said, 'I’m in. I’m singing that song,'" Parker shares.
"It reminded me so much of my mom and I knew she would love to hear it," the Texas native recalls. "I didn’t tell her anything about it. I had her come to one of [our] tour rehearsals this year and played it for her there, full band with the whole production and everything and an empty amphitheater. It was kind of cool."
He adds, "I cut that just for her and thought it was such an amazing song."
You can find "Things I Never Told You" on Parker's latest album, Never Enough, out now.
