Cody Johnson: Singing Face To Face With Carrie Underwood

Cody Johnson and Carrie Underwood are lovin’ being the number one song in country music with “I’m Gonna Love You.”

After Carrie said “yes” to being a part of the song, and as she arrived at the studio – with one look to Cody, he knew that Underwood had an idea for how to record the collaboration, and the result happened in just one take.

Johnson told us in a recent interview, "I had my part done, and she came in and sang her part, and we were listening back to it. I don’t know what the look on her face was, but it was just kind of like, ‘I’m not satisfied.’ And she said, ‘What if we just sang it together, like, live?’ And so we just set up two microphones, went in there, and got on the other side of the glass, and that’s what it is."

He added with a smile, "We did one live take, and that’s what you hear.”
