“I mean that’s the truth and that’s why I love this song, because it doesn’t come from somewhere that’s made up in the studio,” he said of their surprise performance on his new album “Middle of Nowhere”.
“We met after many years, honestly, not being friends.”
The “Golden Hour” singer was inspired to reach out after finding inspiration for the song on social media.

“And I was like, ‘Wait, that’s a song.’ Then I took another step: ‘What if I write it with him? What if it’s a duet? F— it, I’ll get to it.'”
He added, “I hadn’t talked to him in years and I was like, ‘Hey, I’ve got this idea. If anybody can get it, it would be you. We’ve had our s— over the years, but this would be really funny.’ And he said, ‘I’m down.’

“It was going to be my first song and I really liked the song. I had been a staff writer for years at the time, writing for other people and finally I felt like I was collecting songs that sounded like me that I didn’t want to pass them on to someone else,” he said.
The “Deeper Well” singer said the song was pitched to Lambert without his “permission or knowledge,” and it quickly became a “tricky situation.”
