“If I Didn’t Love You,” a duet between Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood, has tops the country charts this week. The song, written by Jason’s bandmates Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy, along with John Morgan and Lydia Vaughan, was the first time the pair of superstars recorded a duet together. Carrie is really thrilled for the writers of the smash hit.

“The song was written by Kurt and Tully from Jason’s band and then John Morgan, who is like an artist/songwriter who Jason works with and then a new young songwriter, who’s very talented, named Lydia Vaughan. I’ve actually written with her kind of separately for other stuff and she’s super cool,” says Carrie. “So, they wrote this song and kind of what I love about the writers of the song is that two of them are in Jason’s band. They’ve known him for a long a time. They know his style, and then you have these two other artists and songwriters that that’s like they’re newer and this is kind of their first major write for them which is supercool that the song is doing so well for these young, these young’uns, to slide in there and have a really successful song right off the bat. So, I’m really excited for all of them.”

The duet is available now and can be found on Jason’s upcoming album, Macon, which will be available November 12th.

Carrie, who just released a special edition of her first Christmas album My Gift, is getting ready for her Las Vegas residency, Reflection, which begins December 1st at the Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas.

Carrie Underwood and JasonAldean have been wanting to record together for some time now, and when she heard “If I Didn’t Love You,” she felt it might be the perfect fit for the two of them.

“Jason asked if I would sing ‘If I Didn’t Love You’ with him. I knew I liked the song, and Jason and I have actually been kind of trying to do things together over the years. We’ve sang together before, but we’ve never officially recorded anything together,” says Carrie. “It just kind of felt like this could be our moment. I felt like it was a little bit of an unexpected duet to other people, but I feel like I kinda always knew at some point I’d probably sing with him officially, and this just seemed like, the stars were aligning and it just seemed like it was going to be the perfect fit.”

The fiery new track was produced by Jason’s longtime friend and collaborator Michael Knox, and written by his bandmates Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy along with John Morgan and Lydia Vaughan.

“We were pretty close to finishing up this album, but this song came in and we knew we had to record it,” Jason said in a press release. “I went ahead and put my vocals down while we asked Carrie in the meantime. Luckily she loved the song and it was kind of like a rocket from there. She did her thing…and I don’t know how, but she made it sound even better than what we expected. It’s a really special song to start this album.”

When recording the heart pounding duet, as Jason says above, it started with Jason laying down his parts solo in the studio, then Carrie came in to record her parts…however, they also put some finishing touches on the song together.

“When Jason and I recorded ‘If I Didn’t Love You,’ he had actually done a little bit of the groundwork on his own, just to save some time and then he came to the studio when I was putting in my part and then he kind of went back and added a little bit more onto it,” she says. “So, there was a little bit of recording separately and some recording together, and I feel that’s the best way to do it. You have to see what the other person’s bringing, and it’s a little intimidating when you get into the studio with another artist, so for you to have your individual time and your together time I feel like is kind of the best way to do it. But it definitely added to the vibe of everything to have him there when I was recording my stuff. We were able to bounce things off of each other and get feedback in real time, which is really cool.”

The duet is available now and can be found on Jason’s upcoming album, Macon, which will be available November 12^th.

Carrie, who just released a special edition of her first Christmas album My Gift, is set to perform on the Grand Ole Opry this Saturday (October 23rd) followed by her Las Vegas residency, Reflection, which begins December 1st at the Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas.
