Tim Mcgraw & Tyler Hubbard create “Undivided”
Country music star Tyler Hubbard, known as one-half of Florida Georgia Line, is breaking new ground with an upcoming collaboration alongside Tim McGraw. The duo is set to release a powerful song titled "Undivided" on January 13th.
Hubbard co-wrote the heartfelt track with Chris Loocke during a period of deep reflection while he was in quarantine on his tour bus in November 2020, following a positive COVID-19 diagnosis. During this time, he contemplated his tendency to judge too quickly and revisited the values instilled in him since childhood. Seeking guidance from his faith, he was inspired to create a song that would offer a positive message during challenging times.
"Undivided" presents an optimistic plea for unity in a country that has faced divisions over pandemic response, a contentious election season, social unrest, and more, making 2020 a particularly difficult year for many.
The song's lyrics convey a message of coming together, encouraging listeners to love one another and move past hatred. Hubbard and McGraw sing:
"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."
Tyler Hubbard felt an immediate connection to the song and knew he had to share it with Tim McGraw. McGraw's unique ability to communicate through music made him the perfect partner for this meaningful project. McGraw was equally enthused about the track's positivity and the opportunity to collaborate with Hubbard, recognizing the power of music to inspire and unite.
Hubbard and McGraw co-produced the song alongside Corey Crowder and Byron Gallimore, and they are excited about the powerful message it carries. In a world where there's still work to be done, "Undivided" serves as a reminder of the importance of love and unity.
The collaboration represents a powerful effort to use music as a beacon of hope and bring people together in a way that nothing else can. The song's positive message and resonating melody are sure to make an impact when it releases on January 13th.
"Undivided" is set to make its debut on January 13, and fans can look forward to a music video accompanying the release. The song will also be part of Tim McGraw's deluxe edition of his recent No. 1 hit album, "Here on Earth," which is scheduled to hit the shelves in the spring. Excitingly, "Undivided" is already available for pre-order on various digital music platforms.
Following closely after their New Year's Day video, Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line have made a significant announcement. In the video, they revealed their individual plans for solo music releases in 2021. Brian Kelley has been hard at work crafting a collection of solo tracks with the goal of releasing them by the summer season. Meanwhile, Tyler Hubbard has been actively engaged in collaborations with different artists, with the Tim McGraw collaboration being the first one unveiled to the public.
While Brian's solo collection is planned for a complete release, Tyler's approach to his solo music remains uncertain. It's yet to be decided whether he will present his work as a cohesive album or opt for a gradual release of singles.
Despite these solo endeavors, it's essential to note that Florida Georgia Line's partnership remains strong and they are not parting ways. The duo is dedicated to continuing their musical journey together and is all set to release their fifth studio album, "Life Rolls On," come February. Moreover, they are holding out hope for the chance to return to the stage in 2021, bringing their music to fans through live performances.
Hubbard and Kelley were keen to emphasize that the recent rumors about Florida Georgia Line breaking up are entirely false. On the contrary, they are excited to share that their fifth studio album, "Life Rolls On," is set to be released in February. Despite their individual solo music pursuits, they have made sure to reserve some dates for 2021 with the hope of hitting the road together for live performances. The duo remains committed to their musical partnership and looks forward to continuing their journey as Florida Georgia Line.
