The duet is an updated version of “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Woman”
Thomas Rhett and Teddy Swims have teamed for a special new version of “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Woman.” First released in August on About a Woman, Rhett’s critically acclaimed seventh studio album, the track now gets an extra dose of power and depth with Swims’ signature vocals, which punch up the track’s already soulful vibe. The song’s evocative lyrics, smooth electric guitar and driving bass line, result in a compelling mix of emotion and energy.
“This collaboration has been something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now,” explains Rhett. “Teddy and I first met through our producer Julian Bunetta back in 2020 and it was pretty much instant musical chemistry. I sang on his song ‘Broke’ and then we ended up writing ‘Angels (Don’t Always Have Wings)’ in under an hour. I’ve been wanting to release something with him again ever since, and his voice on this song is insane.”
“Been waiting to release this song with Thomas Rhett for a while!! He has been in my corner since day one, so when he called me to join him on “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Woman,” it was a no-brainer,” Swims shares, “It’s an honor to join him on this track—he’s a legend. I love you big bro!”
Already friends and collaborators, Rhett and Swims first joined forces in 2020 when Rhett was featured on Swims’ song “Broke.” Along with Josh Thompson and Julian Bunetta, the pair also co-wrote Rhett’s 2023 emotional ballad and chart-topping single “Angels (Don’t Always Have Wings).” They will next make the new collaboration’s TV debut on the 58th Annual CMA Awards on November 20th where they’ll mash-up “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Woman” with Swims’ history-making, Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 “Lose Control” on ABC at 8 pm ET/PT.
