  Carrie Underwood talks about her upcoming single, “Good Girl.” (:13)
“I do have a new single coming out, and it is called ‘Good Girl.’ It’s my first single off my fourth album, and I co-wrote the song. We had a blast writing it, and I’m really excited for everyone to hear it. It’s pretty rockin’.”

  Carrie Underwood describes her new single, “Good Girl.” (:35)
“‘Good Girl’ is rockin’! We went into the writing session thinking we need to write something that just kicks butt, and Chris DeStefano, one of the writers is — I call him a little mad scientist on all of his Pro Tools stuff — he, like, plays every instrument you could possibly think of, and he, like, started makin’ this track, and we started…we just went. It was fast. We wrote it fast, and it’s just fun! It’s upbeat, it’s fun, you stomp your feet, and you can dance to it. It’s got this really rockin’ verse, and this really, like, rockin’ country chorus. So, it’s just a really cool song.”
