"Go Home W U" is a song recorded by New Zealand-born Australian-American country artist Keith Urban featuring American country artist Lainey Wilson.[1] Urban wrote the song with Breland, Sam Sumser, and Sean Small, and he co-produced it with the latter two.[2] It is the third single to Australian radio from Urban's twelfth studio album High.[3][4]
Background
[edit]Urban wrote "Go Home W U" with his three co-writers in 2020.[5][6] He stated that the song started as a "late night drum loop," before he began playing the bass guitar and started playing a riff.[7] Shortly thereafter, the four men wrote the chorus, and then the remainder of the song. Urban remarked that the song was not initially meant to be a duet, but when a friend suggested the idea, he thought that Lainey Wilson worked well with the "swagger and attitude" of it.[8] Wilson called Urban "one of the best" and said that recording a song with him was a "notch on my belt I am very proud of".[9][10]
