“Stars Aligned” For Carrie Underwood’s Latest Hit

Carrie Underwood co-wrote her latest hit, “Southbound,” with her Cry Pretty album co-producer, David Garcia, and one of his frequent co-writers.

At that time in the recording process, Carrie said she really needed a song with some tempo, and while it’s difficult to fill that specific order sometimes in the confines of one writing session, she tells us things just worked out perfectly.

“I kind of loosely went in with David and I’d written with Josh Miller before but never the three of us together, and so we go in and he kind of had this fun music going, some track, and I had the title ‘Southbound,’ and that’s just what it ended up being, so it’s like the stars aligned. We got what we wanted to write that day and we also got tempo. It’s a lot of fun!”

Carrie will be honoured as one of CMT’s Artists of the Year on October 16th in Nashville. The 90-minute special will air live beginning at 8 p.m.
