The duet will officially become Keith’s fifth single from his Grammy-nominated album “Ripcord.” Even better, Keith and Carrie will perform it the 59th Annual Grammy Awards scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 12 on CBS.
“It comes from a very real place,” said Keith in a recent press release. “It’s a song about helping to heal and protect someone you love. It’s a song about reassurance that you’ll always be there to take the blows the world can throw. Carrie and I had sung together before and I thought our voices blended really well — so she was unquestionably the right choice. It was such a relief that she wanted to do it.”
