Taylor Swift wasn’t the only artist to release new music made during her time in quarantine yesterday. Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani teamed up to create their love song duet “Happy Anywhere,” which captures their feelings and own experience living together during the coronavirus pandemic. (The two are quarantining at Shelton’s Oklahoma ranch.)
The lyrics convey how much they value and cherish each other, their relationship, and how happy they are to be in any place as long as they are together.
Shelton explained the song’s inspiration during an interview with Storme Warren on his SiriusXM The Storme Warren Show. “You wake up and look at the news and you’re starting to realize that this quarantine is not working out too well for a lot of people who are finding out they didn’t, they don’t like being around each other as much as they thought they did, which is terrible,” Shelton started. “She and I have experienced the opposite, you know, and we’ve been having a blast. And I think it’s because, we’ve literally, since our early, early twenties, both of us, kind of been, you know… [had] our careers around. And obviously, none of us like these circumstances, but I’d be lying if I said that I’m not having a blast being stuck at home for this long because I’ve just never gotten to do it before you know, since I’ve owned a home, I’ve never been able to be there more than two weeks max at a time. So, this has been an eye opener. I told my manager, I said ‘man you might have a hard time getting me to go back on the road again actually.’”
Here, the lyrics to the song, via Genius, that reveal a lot about the two’s bond. You can listen to the track below:

Verse 1: Blake Shelton
I’ve always been a rollin’ stone
With a reckless streak
Yeah, the grass never gets too grown
Underneath my feet
The city lights, Southern stars
No such thing’s gone too farChorus: Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani
I’m running wide open
I was born with my feet in motion
But since I met you, I swear
I could be happy anywhere
Any mapped out location
You’re always my destination
You’re the only thing that I’m chained to
I could be happy anywhere
I could be happy anywhere with youVerse 2: Blake Shelton with Gwen Stefani
Yeah, the beauty of the northern lights
And my mind is faded
The blue sky over Telluride
Next to you’s kinda overrated
The winding road, let it twist
My home’s wherever your heart is
Chorus: Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani
I’m running wide open
I was born with my feet in motion
But since I met you, I swear
I could be happy anywhere
Any mapped out location
You’re always my destination
You’re the the only thing that I’m chained to
I could be happy anywhere
I could be happy anywhere with youPost-Chorus: Gwen Stefani
Hey!
Hey!Bridge: Blake Shelton with Gwen Stefani
So, girl, I hope you know
Wherever you go, I go, I knowChorus: Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani
I’m running wide open
I was born with my feet in motion
But since I met you, I swear
I could be happy anywhere
Any mapped out location
You’re always my destination
You’re the only thing that I’m chained to
I could be happy anywhere
I could be happy anywhere with you
Outro: Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani
I could be happy anywhere with you
