After taking “Nobody But You” to the top of the charts earlier this year, Blake Shelton is teaming up with his longtime girlfriend Gwen Stefani once again for his brand new single, “Happy Anywhere.”

Out Friday, July 24, the “loving, feel-good” tune finds the beloved couple professing their love for each other, declaring that they can be “Happy Anywhere” as long as their together. The song was co-written by Ross Copperman, Josh Osborne and Matt Jenkins.

“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,’” Shelton said. “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 song will make its television debut upon its release date when Shelton makes an appearance on NBC’s TODAY Summer 2020 Citi Music Series.

The following day, Shelton, along with Stefani and Trace Adkins, will take over drive-in theaters across North America for an exclusive drive-in concert. Hosted in conjunction with the production company Encore Live, the one-night-only event will feature brand new performances filmed exclusively for the drive-in show. The drive-in concert experience will also include interviews and storytelling from Shelton, Stefani and Adkins.

The performance will air at drive-ins around the U.S. and Canada and will cost $114.99 per vehicle. Tickets are on sale now.
