It’s the fourth single from Keith’s 16th album High released on September 20.
Urban said “A friend of mine suggested the idea of making the song a duet and I immediately thought of Lainey. Besides the fact that I love her voice, she’s got the swagger and attitude that fit so well with the song.”
Urban’s High explores themes of living in the moment, human connection, and personal reflection.
“What makes you high can mean whatever you want it to mean,” Urban explains.
“For me, it’s my family, my friends, and the joy of playing live.”
Keith headlined a night of music and conversation titled in Ridin’ High hosted by The Betoota Advocate at The Bob Hawke Beer & Leisure Centre in Sydney on September 3.

My dad started having children back in the ’40s because he was born in 1926, so he was 67 when I was born. They were all already singing and gigging before I was even born. I was just born into it, exposed to music from a very early age, and it was country, of course.”
