Keith Urban is releasing the follow-up single to his recent two-week No. 1 single, “Little Bit of Everything.” He’s decided on “We Were Us,” a duet with Miranda Lambert, as his new single, which will be hitting radio later today (Monday). “She’s just the real deal. I just love her. I love her artistry. Her voice is awesome,” says Keith. “She would get up and play with us when we were touring with her, and I just felt like our voices went together really well.”
“We Were Us” is from Keith’s new album, Fuse, due in stores tomorrow (Tuesday).

“Miranda, of course, she opened for a us a lot of years ago. She’s just the real deal. I just love her. I love her artistry. Her voice is awesome. She would get up and play with us when we were touring with her, and I just felt like our voices went together really well. So, it was another person that I always had in the back of my mind and was hoping I could find a song for us one day. The song called ‘We Were Us’ came along and it’s actually written as a duet, but the girl sings first, so I thought ‘Let’s do it! Let’s call Miranda up.’ She liked the song, came and sang it, and various people were going ‘Well you can’t have her singing first!’ Why not? It sounds fine! Again, it was always just about how the song works best. The song just works best that way. It’s a duet. She’s not a backing vocalist.”
