Keith Urban Plays Solo Acoustic Cover Of Ariana Grande's 'We Can't Be Friends', Calls It 'Audible Heroin'

Keith Urban is teaming up for another hit Eternal sunshine. No, this is not some new designer drug. The country singer can't stop gushing about the song “We Can't Be Friends (Wait For You Love)” from Ariana Grande's latest album.

He proved his undying love for the track by playing it during a small club show earlier this week and posting a cover video on Monday, in which he teases a solo acoustic anthem. “Me and my truth, we sit in silence/ There in the mirror it's just me and you/ I don't want to fight, but I don't want to bite/ My tongue, yeah, I think I'd rather die/ You got me wrong, but at least I show so nice,” Urban sang while bathed in blue light (and slightly changing a few lyrics.)

Urban captioned his post, “this song is hearin' heroin,” after previously praising the Grande, Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh-penned and Ilya Salmanzadeh track that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in an interview with People Last week. “I don't know what's wrong with this song, but I can't stop playing it. It's like heroin that sounds,” Urban said at the time in his first use of the musical drug simile. “Literally, I have to have another hit. I play this thing over and over and over.'

As the magazine reported, Urban was learning the tune which he further said has some “real heavenly magic” on May 6 when Grande performed the song at the Met Gala, which the singer attended with his wife, actress Nicole Kidman. “This is my absolute current obsession song right now,” Urban said.

“Ariana has always had this unique vocal gift,” Urban said People. “Plus, she's an amazing writer and producer. So it was easy for me to stumble upon this new album. I was interested before it came out.” Urban isn't the only one who was blown away by the song, as evidenced by fellow country star Tate McRae performing her own stripped-down version of the song during a concert at the Apollo Theater in London last month.

“We Can't Be Friends” was the second single from Grande's seventh studio album, which was released in March. Eternal sunshine it was Grande's sixth LP to top the Billboard 200 album chart.
