"I love this song!" the star added. "This song's important to us and the fact that we wrote it together is so important to both of us."

"[The duet] is very personal for us both because, you know, we obviously have this bond that is remarkable together," Shelton told Entertainment Tonight. "I hesitate to brag on it too much but I really think that it's as good of a song as I've ever written in my life."
