Cody Johnson Says New Song Recorded In One Take

Cody Johnson and Carrie Underwood’s duet “I’m Gonna Love You” feels like it’s gonna have some staying power.  Which is pretty cool considering they recorded the vocals in ONE live take.

Cody recently talked about it on an Apple Music podcast.  Originally, Cody laid down his vocals, and then Carrie came in and put hers on top.  But when they went back to listen to it, something wasn’t right.

Cody said Carrie made a pondering face, so he said, “What are you not liking?  What’s wrong?  Because I’m kind of like . . . it doesn’t have that boom.”

And then Carrie said, “What if we just sing it live?”  And Cody thought that was a great idea.

Here’s the kicker.  They only needed ONE live take.  What you hear on the final version was all done in that single take.

I guess having two mega-stars in that booth and being able to feed off one another meant something magical was bound to happen. (Whiskey Riff)
