Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton Release Feel-Good New Duet

Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton have a new song out, together! The two just released "A Song To Sing." Lambert and Stapleton wrote the song together, along with Jesse Frasure and Jenee Fleenor.

"Chris understands this emotion from the inside out, because he and Morgane have both lived it," Lambert says, praising both Stapleton and his wife. "To have someone so soulful and willing to go into the heart of the feelings, to share the pull of the road and creative life - and what that means when you love someone with every bit of your being is next level. When we finished it, we both knew we wanted to release it, to share it with everyone."

Lambert and Stapleton will release "A Song To Sing" to radio on Monday, July 14. The song comes after Lambert's last single, "Run," from her latest Postcards from Texas album.

The Story Behind Miranda Lambert's "Run"

"Run" might have been a new song for Lambert's fans, but it was born from a heartache from long ago. Lambert penned "Run" by herself, originally for Lambert's 2016 The Weight of These Wings record.

"I wrote this song 'Run' during 'The Weight of These Wings' era," Lambert shares on TikTok. "At the same time as songs like 'Tin Man' and 'Vice.' But wasn't ready to release it till now."

Indeed, "Run" is about as vulnerable and honest as Lambert has ever been. With lines like  "I'm tryin' to survive in / This state of defeat / Is it you or I that really lost me / I'm lookin' for someone / I wasn't with you / We held on for dear life, babe / But both of us knew I was gonna run," it's clearly about the end of Lambert's marriage to Blake Shelton.

"I wasn't ever ready to perform it until now," Lambert says on Today's Country Radio With Kelleigh Bannen. "That's what songs are for. And you may not be ready at that one time to sing about something really raw... but then it can come back around."

She goes on to say that "Run" is "an admission of human error too...It's an apology, but it's also a resolve."
