The anticipation is building toward the November 3rd release of Carrie Underwood‘s new album, Play On, and one of the things fueling the excitement is the energy of the knockout first single, “Cowboy Casanova.” Carrie says that she and her co-writers were thrilled with how the record turned out. “Everything about this song is so much fun, and it’s so strong and female empowering,” she says. “And, you know, I got a little sassy streak, and I like songs that get to showcase that.” (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

  Carrie Underwood talks about her new hit, “Cowboy Casanova.” (:32)
“‘Cowboy Casanova.’ We basically didn’t take ourselves too seriously and wrote this song, and then, it was like, ‘Holy cow!’ Like, ‘What is this? What did we do? This is awesome!’ Just getting it back was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, this is bigger than any of us could have even imagined.’ Everything about this song is so much fun, and it’s so strong and female empowering. Very anthemic…just a lot of fun. And, you know, I got a little sassy streak, and I like songs that get to showcase that.”
