Nicole Kidman added backing vocals to Urban’s first single, “Female,” a song that was inspired by the #MeToo movement, and Urban says she was the inspiration for at least two other songs on the album that came out in late April.
On the final track, “Steal My Thunder,” Urban sings of his wife: “In every single room/it’s all eyes on you. But baby I don’t mind/You can steal my thunder anytime.”
“She’s definitely the girl in the song, but it’s also very relatable I think,” Urban said with a smile. “Many, many guys will get this song.”
Urban says his wife loves the songs he wrote for her on the new record. She even popped up to sing with him at a recent Spotify event that Urban held for fans in Nashville.
“I’ve never had anybody write a song about me, but it must feel pretty good,” Urban said.
