Blake Shelton will release a new song featuring Gwen Stefani called “Happy Anywhere” on Friday (7/24).

Blake says, “Even though Gwen and I just had a single out we decided that, under the circumstances, this year… man, there’s never been a better time for ‘Happy Anywhere.’ We’ve all been in quarantine and lockdown, and hopefully we’ve been doing that with somebody that we really love and enjoy being around. That’s what happened with Gwen and me this summer – and this entire year.”

The tune was written by Ross Copperman, Josh Osborne and Matt Jenkins.

The song will make its TV debut on release day during the 8:00 a.m. hour of Shelton’s appearance on the TODAY Summer 2020 Citi Music Series (NBC).

“Happy Anywhere” follows Shelton and Stefani’s Platinum-selling, multi-week chart-topper “Nobody But You.” Shelton’s 27th career No. 1.
