McGraw, Hubbard collaborate on "Undivided"

Tyler sent me this song a few months ago and from the first time I heard it....I knew it was one I wanted to be singing for a long time. We got together in the studio last month and created something real special. Hope y'all agree when you hear it!!"

A behind-the-scenes music video of the duo in the studio also will be out Jan 13. The song will be included on the deluxe version of McGraw's "Here On Earth," out later this spring on Big Machine Records.

Co-written by Hubbard and Chris Loocke, "Undivided" came out of Hubbard's time spent soul-searching on his bus while waiting out a positive COVID-19 quarantine. Examining his own ability to judge too quickly, he considered the values he was raised with and looked to his faith for guidance and inspiration. The process brought him to a place of hope and positivity.

"Music gives us hope and brings us together in a way nothing else can. This doesn't mean we don't have work to do. Quite the opposite," McGraw said. "I loved the positivity of this song and that it called me to check myself and to remember that love is bigger. It's why I knew this song had to be my next single with Tyler as soon as he sent it to me."

"I knew immediately when I finished it, I had to text it to Tim. He has a way of communicating with the world that is unique in music," Hubbard said. "For him to want to perform with me was an amazing feeling. The song is about coming together, and that's exactly what we did."

Produced by Corey Crowder, Hubbard, McGraw and Byron Gallimore, banjo and acoustic guitar drove the track.

Lyrics include:
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
