Keith Urban’s ‘The Fighter’ Duet With Carrie Underwood Overcame Obstacles – Both singers wanted to work together for Urban’s ninth studio album (May 6), but finding the time and place was a challenge. By the time Urban asked, Underwood was already busy with the Storyteller Tour and days off were few and far between. He says he thought of the fellow American Idol alum quickly after writing “The Fighter” with busbee. It’s a disco-influenced, jazzy country love song that finds two lovers in conversation. “She said, ‘I have a day off in St. Louis, it’s the only day off between now and when you need to finish your record’,” Urban tells Taste of Country Nights radio host Sam Alex, recalling his conversation with Underwood. He was shooting the video to his single “Wasted Time” on that day, however, so he called in help. “Busbee flew to St. Louis, got a studio and was in there with Carrie,” Urban says. “And then I would take a break from filming and Facetime then and check in with them.” – Read more at Taste of Country

But with Kyle, he finally sat me down and he said, ‘just let me love you.’ So I was like okay, I’m going to take this jump. And we did together. He’s amazing and I’m so happy because I feel like I have my family.” – More at Hollywood Life
