Carrie Underwood has added her voice to NEEDTOBREATHE's brand new single “I Wanna Remember.”

Carrie said of the new collaboration, “I have been a huge fan of NEEDTOBREATHE forever and I was so honored when the stars aligned and Bear [Rinehart, the group's lead singer] agreed to lend his incredible vocals to a song on my recent gospel album."

She added, “Needless to say, I was thrilled when he and the band invited me to be a part of their new project. I love the song and have had the best time getting to know and sing with these amazingly talented guys.”

Underwood also appears alongside the group's official music video.

NEEDTOBREATHE said of the new song, “‘I Wanna Remember’ is a nostalgic track and takes you back to the moments you never want to forget. We all came from small towns, and those roots have cemented into the fabric of the band and our music. Bear worked with Carrie on some of her recent projects, and we felt like her small-town roots and humble beginnings were the perfect addition to this song.

They added, "As soon as we got into the studio, we felt a connection with her as if she was a long-time member of the band. Having someone with her talent and spirit sing on the song is an absolute honor for us."
