Blake Shelton's new single is his duet with girlfriend Gwen Stefani, “Nobody But You.”

Blake says, “I was at The Voice compound and Shane McAnally is on Songland, so they were there doing some cross-promotion. Shane came to my trailer and said, ‘Man, I got a song for you.' I knew he had Gwen’s number [from a writing session], so I told him to send it to her as I was being called to the set. I actually got the song twice because my producer Scott Hendricks emailed it to me right after."

Shelton continues, "Then one day I was driving with Gwen and I said, 'Hey let’s listen to that song from Shane, because Scott sent it to me too – it must be pretty incredible.' When I heard it, I was just floored. I realized how important that song was for me and where I am in my life right now. I just think it’s magical. I literally think it’s important of a song as I’ve ever recorded.”

He and Stefani will take the stage together for the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards on Sunday, January 26 at 8:00pm/7:00c on CBS.
