“Carrie and I both have rock edge to our…I mean, there’s a lot of rock & roll on both of our records at certain times — we’re country as hell sometimes, and then there’s…I mean, you’ve seen her sing with Steven Tyler — hello. So I thought why not…well, I had this idea a long time ago, and I told Blake — I was like, ‘I wanna write this country song, and me and her do it acoustic, about who’s gonna fill our shoes type deal, you know, at the Grand Ole Opry, with me and Carrie Underwood — and we’re gonna be country females,’ and all this. He was like, ‘Well, that’d be cool,’ and then like two hours later, he was like, ‘I just want to say one thing: you have Carrie Underwood. If she’s gonna sing with you, you need to take advantage of it. I mean, that’s Carrie Underwood, so you might just think about a rocker.’ And I was like, ‘Oh yeah, probably right.’ (laughs) So then I found that song, and I thought, ‘Well, this might be the one,’ you know, ‘cause it rang in my head whenever I heard that song, thinkin’, ‘Maybe I shouldn’t try to do some sappy ballad. Maybe I should…we should just rock — and here we are rockin’.”
