Country superstar Keith Urban recently shared “Go Home W U,” his collaboration with Lainey Wilson.
“Go Home W U” is the third song Urban has released from his upcoming album, which is due out in the fall. “Messed Up As Me” and “Straight Line” are the previous singles.
Urban wrote the song with Breland, Sam Sumser and Sean Small in 2020.
“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,” said the Australian singer-songwriter.
According to Urban, the song was “not meant to be a duet” but turned into one when the CMA Entertainer of the Year agreed to join him.
“A friend of mine suggested the idea of making the song a duet and I immediately thought of Lainey,” he said. “Besides the fact that I love her voice, she’s got the swagger and attitude that fit so well with the song.”
“Keith has been someone in the industry I’ve taken notes from for a while now,” said Wilson. “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. Getting to do a song with Keith is a notch on my belt I am very proud of.”
