Somethin' Bad (with Carrie Underwood) - Duet with Carrie Underwood [Album]

This rocking tune finds Miranda Lambert trading lines with Carrie Underwood. Lambert admitted to People Country that she was anxious about asking the Country star to record with her. "To me, this is such a big deal that Carrie and I are singing together,"she said. "It took me forever to write the email to ask her, like I was writing to someone I had a crush on and you don''t want to mess it up." "It took a week for her to get back to me and I was telling [husband] Blake [Shelton], ''She hates me, she hates the song, she''s never going to talk to me again, she''s probably going to change her email address!'' She finally wrote me back and said, 'I think it''s awesome, let''s do it!'"

Lambert admitted she was in a nervous state right up until the date they recorded the song. "When she came in the studio I was writing to Blake, ''I''m in over my head, I don''t know what I''ve done!''' the singer recalled. "When you respect someone like that you get so nervous. To hit the notes she hits, I would have to take off running and jump as high as I could."

The song was written by Chris DeStefano, Brett James and Priscilla Renea, who later recorded as Muni Long. DeStefano told Roughstock the story of the song. "I did this writing retreat in France for ASCAP where they get a group of writers and producers out to a castle to write together," he recalled. "And got in a room with my good buddy Brett James and our friend Priscilla Renea. We were talking and someone said 'lets do something kinda crazy' and I think I said "I've got a good feeling of doing something bad," or something like that and Priscilla reacted to it and said, 'Oh, my God, that could be the song...' and they just started rolling with it from there, like pro Tennis players." "It was a lot of fun and the whole track, the way I built it up, it was all organic," DeStefano continued. "There was a huge room in the castle called the Sol d'en Aire, a really traditional looking castle room with a giant fireplace wood floors and about 20-25 foot high ceilings and we're doing stomps and claps and I was recording this kind of groove and it had a fun energy about it."
