Promises made, promises kept, and more music from four-time Grammy© Award winner Keith Urban. “Messed Up As Me,” out today, is another release from his as-of-yet, unnamed album.
Keith, who debuted the song during CRS at The Ryman Auditorium as part of the annual Team UMG luncheon, “Most of us have been in dysfunctional relationships before, where there’s not a lot of compatibility, except for that one area where it’s so good you put up with all the rest. A phone call or a night out and you’re right back where you shouldn’t be.”
02. MESSED UP AS ME
This song is about a relationship…should we call it a relationship ??? We’re calling it a relationship. It’s about two people who know they aren’t good for each other: it’s dysfunctional, makes no sense, it might even be toxic, but they keep going back… pic.twitter.com/NZfQYorHn0— Keith Urban (@KeithUrban) March 1, 2024
Musically there’s an unresolved quality to the song. Just like a dysfunctional relationship, it’s a cycle of always going back to what you know. “Messed Up As Me” is produced by Keith and longtime co-producer Dann Huff, and follows last month’s release of “Straight Line.” Both are expected to be on the superstar’s album slated for release later this year.

“‘Messed Up As Me’ is a (laughs), it’s a song about a relationship that is kind of pretty dysfunctional, pretty messy, except for one part of it and that one part of it is amazing. (laughs) In fact, that one part is so good that you figure out just putting up with all the rest that is dysfunctional, possibly toxic (laughs) and just messy. Between the two of you, that one thing is well worth it.”
