Keith Urban‘s latest single, “Brown Eyes Baby,” is sitting inside the Top 15 on the country charts, and he was immediately drawn to the song when he first heard it.

“I love songs that are looking to bring out the best in somebody and bring somebody back to life, you know,” says Keith. “The songs that I’ve loved that have done that for me that give me hope and lift me up and see me for who I can be, those kinds of songs, those kinds of people really, which is what ‘Brown Eyes Baby’ is, and it’s just sexy. It’s sexy as hell. (laughs) I love that song.”

Keith returns to his residency at the Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas June 16th.
