DARIUS RUCKER SET TO RELEASE NEW SONG,

Artist: Darius Rucker

Darius Rucker is set to release his new song, “Never Been Over,” tonight at midnight ET. The song is a duet with Jennifer Nettles (from Sugarland), and when he wrote the tune with John Osborne and Lee Miller, he wanted it to be a duet at some point.

“I wrote it with John Osborne and Lee Miller, and we cut it. We talked about doing a duet, talked about a doing a duet. We just got deep in the record and never did it,” says the South Carolina native. “It was the first song that I ever went to the label and said, ‘Will you make this a single?’ And they said yeah, and I wanted to make it a duet so bad. And we talked about folks and talked about it, and somebody said Jennifer, I think my manager said, ‘How about Jennifer Nettles?’ And I instantly I went, ‘Absolutely,’ because ever since ‘Stay,’ I’ve wanted to sing with her, and I’m so glad I finally got to.”
