The track was penned by Pearce alongside Luke Combs, Jonathan Singleton and Randy Montana.

"I knew when I heard the song for the first time that this was something special and I'm honored that Carly asked me to be a part of it," says Lee. "Thank you to all the fans for loving this song as much as Carly and I did recording it and making this a PLATINUM hit."

“Having songs that meant something to people was always my dream,” expressed Carly. “To see these songs reach such big milestones and see that my music is making an impact on people’s lives is more than I could’ve ever hoped for. I will never take any of this for granted and am so thankful.”

In the variety show style livestream, Brice also performed his song, "Hey World," which is a stripped-down piano ballad that is a reflection of the emotional toll that the current health crisis has taken.

The down-to-earth female vocalist has quickly carved out her own highly honest, emotionally compelling place in a very Pop-Country world. Working again – and unknowingly, for the last time – with busbee, her <self-titled sophomore album (Big Machine Records) maintains her roots and his contemporary sense. The project produced Carly’s second chart-topper, “I Hope You’re Happy Now,” a song she wrote alongside Luke Combs, Jonathan Singleton and Randy Montana.
