“As
if having a new song out today wasn’t enough, I also get to host the
ACM’s in April,” said Urban. “I’ll tell you – this year already feels
like the most creative and energized
year of my life… and there’s so much more to come. Incredibly
grateful – and ready to roll!”

will be sprinkled by various song offerings, highlighted
by a brand-new album later this year.
