Carly Pearceâs new duet with Lee Brice, âI Hope Youâre Happy Now,â is No. 13 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart this week.
Penned by Carly, Luke Combs, Jonathan Singleton and Randy Montana, âI Hope Youâre Happy Nowâ is featured on Carlyâs self-titled sophomore album, which was released in February.
Carly recently sat down with Kix Brooks of American Country Countdown to talk about co-penning the tune with Luke Combs, just as his own 2016 debut single, âHurricane,â was beginning to ascend into the stratosphere.
âWeâre both â90s country babies, so it was very fun and very inspiring,â says Carly. âIâd never written with another artist, and it was just like we were on the same wavelength that day. And, itâs so interesting because I had played a show with him right as âHurricaneâ was happening, so before he had what he has, I was like, âI want to write with you,â and we kept that dayâmonths laterâand it was meant to be. And Iâll forever champion him because heâs just so talented.â
Carly and Lee recently dropped an acoustic version of âI Hope Youâre Happy Now,â which you can listen to below.
