Keith Urban is featured on the soundtrack for the new film, Act of Valor, with a song he wrote titled “For You.” He was a bit nervous about writing for the film, since he had never written for a particular circumstance before, but he was convinced by someone close to him that this was something he should consider. “One of the guys from Relativity [Films] flew down and showed us the film, and I was really moved by the film. And I wanted to write something, [but] I couldn’t think of an angle and a place and so on,” says Keith. “I have to really thank [my wife] Nic for really saying to me, ‘You should do this. You really should. I think you’ll really be able to do this, if you just commit to it.’ And she really kind of gently suggested that I do it.”

Act of Valor is inspired by real life events and stars a group of active-duty Navy SEALs in a powerful story of contemporary global anti-terrorism.

• The soundtrack, which also features Lady Antebellum, Trace Adkins, Sugarland, Jake Owen, Wynonna and many others, is available beginning Tuesday (February 21st). The film opens nationwide Friday (February 24th).

Keith Urban (writing for Act of Valor) OC: …do it. :35

“I’ve never written for a particular thing before, and I was really nervous about it. I was about to do vocal surgery, and I just felt like I can’t do this. But one of the guys from Relativity [Films] flew down and showed us the film, and I was really moved by the film. And I wanted to write something, [but] I couldn’t think of an angle and a place and so on. I have to really thank [my wife] Nic for really saying to me, ‘You should do this. You really should. I think you’ll really be able to do this, if you just commit to it.’ And she really kind of gently suggested that I do it.”
