Hey Billboard, it's Keith Urban here. Here are five things you didn't know about my new song 'Straight Line'.
Keith Urban
This song was originally recorded with just a drum machine and no real drums and we finished the whole song. And for whatever reason, we felt like it was linear and going nowhere. And so we decided to put real drums on it. And when we did, it changed the whole thing in a big way. So shout out to all the real drummers out there. When we started writing, the song was written in a stream of consciousness. … We had a groove and we kept singing, 'Late night lover, late night lover.' And when one of the other writers was singing it, I thought he was saying straight line lover, and I thought it was more interesting. And then we wondered what “straight line lover” meant, so we just shortened it to “Straight Line.”

I wrote this song with my bass player, Jerry Flowers, Chase McGill. And a great producer/songwriter named Greg Wells, a great musician, the four of us had never written together. We had two days to write. And on the very first day we wrote a song and on the second day we wrote 'Straight Line'. Both songs we wrote will be on this album.
