Tyler Hubbard Releases Collaboration With Tim McGraw ‘Undivided’
, Tim McGraw and Tyler Hubbard have teamed up for a new duet called “Undivided.”
The collaboration arrives January 13 at country radio and all streaming services, along with an official behind-the-scenes music video of the two friends in the studio. The song will be included on the deluxe version of McGraw’s #1 album Here On Earth, due out later this year.
Tyler adds, “I knew immediately when I finished it, I had to text it to Tim. He has a way of communicating with the world that is unique in music. For him to want to perform with me was an amazing feeling. The song is about coming together, and that’s exactly what we did.”
Co-written by Hubbard & Chris Loocke, “Undivided” came out of Hubbard’s time spent soul-searching on his bus while waiting out a positive COVID-19 quarantine. He says that he considered the values he was raised with and looked to his faith for guidance and inspiration. But rather than writing a somber song, the process brought him to a place of hope, and he dug into his roots for a song that sparkled with a beat and positivity.
The lyrics include, “I think it’s time to come together / You and I can make a change / Maybe we can make a difference / Make the world a better place / Look around and love somebody / We’ve been hateful long enough / Let the good Lord reunite us / ‘Til this country that we love’s undivided.”
The lyrics may strike Florida Georgia Line fans as being somewhat ironic, as the song comes shortly on the heels of Hubbard and Brian Kelley’s video announcing that each of them will release solo music in 2021. in the weeks leading up to the election.
McGraw posted to Instagram along with a small clip of the two singing the new song, “@tylerhubbard sent me this song a few months ago and from the first time I heard it….I knew it was one I wanted to be singing for a long time. We got together in the studio last month and created something real special. Hope y’all agree when you hear it!! New single #UNDIVIDED coming next Wednesday, Jan. 13th.”
