“I have been a big fan of Leon for a while because he is very authentic as an artist and I love his music,” Lambert explained in a statement. “Since we are both from Texas, we threw in a few Texas references, of course – the Frio River being one. When we finished this song, we sent it to Leon in hopes that he would want to collaborate and we were so glad that he said yes. I have really enjoyed getting to know him and I’m happy to have him as a new friend.”
“I was humbled to have Miranda ask if I’d join her on this beautiful duet she wrote,” added Bridges. “Getting in the studio with her in Nashville to sing this song together was magic. There’s nothing better than two Texans on one mic!”
The tender lyrics play out like a promise to a lover as Lambert and Bridges croon over the possibility of what could be.
“I’d make sure your stars are shining/ Sure as the Frio’s winding/ I’d bottle you up like lightning/ I’d rope the moon for you/ A million times/ That’s what I’d do/ If you were mine,” they sing.
The GRAMMY-winning artists captured their magical time in the studio together in a studio video, which was released alongside the song’s debut.
Lambert said the pair bonded over Tex Mex, BBQ, and tequila while they were recording the song and explained that if Bridges had decided not to record the song, she “wouldn’t have release it.”
“If You Were Mine” follows the release of Lambert’s latest album, Palomino, which dropped in April of 2022 and spawned hits like “Actin’ Up,” “Strange,” and “If I Was A Cowboy.”
