Keith Urban and Lainey Wilson have teamed up for the new track “GO HOME W U”, the third song released from Urban’s forthcoming album due out this fall. “GO HOME W U” follows the release of Urban’s current single “Messed Up As Me” as well as the song “Straight Line,” released earlier this year.
Urban said that the song was originally “not meant to be a duet,” adding: “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 ..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.”
Wilson 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. Getting to do a song with Keith is a notch on my belt I am very proud of.”
