Miranda Lambert, Chris Stapleton Drop New Duet ‘A Song to Sing’

Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton have linked up for a dreamy new duet, “A Song to Sing.”

With its dreamy disco groove and lovestruck devotion, “A Song to Sing” feels almost like an homage to one of country’s great duets, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers’ 1983 gem, “Islands in the Stream.” On their tune, Lambert and Stapleton trade lyrics before uniting in booming harmony on the chorus: “You are a part of me/Baby you’re the heart of me/Together we can write a song to sing/And in that melody/Baby you’re the harmony/That you just can’t find anywhere.”

Lambert and Stapleton wrote “A Song to Sing” with songwriters Jesse Frasure and Jenee Fleenor, while Dave Cobb produced the track. 

Earlier this week, Lambert teased the song on her Instagram Stories, writing, “Chris understands the emotion of this song from the inside out, because he and Morgane [Stapleton’s wife] have both lived it. To have someone so soulful and willing to go into the heart of the feelings, to share the pull of the road and creative life — and what that means when you love someone with every bit of your being is next level. When we finished it, we both knew we wanted to release it, to share it with everyone.”

While “A Song to Sing” is being billed as Lambert and Stapleton’s first true duet together, they have collaborated before. Most recently, Lambert co-wrote Stapleton’s Higher opener, “What Am I Gonna Do,” and the two have performed the track together on several occasions. In 2021, Stapleton and Lambert also performed “Maggie’s Song” together at the ACM Awards; and in 2016, Lambert guested at one of Stapleton’s shows and helped him cover the Temptations’ “My Girl.”

Since releasing Higher in 2023, Stapleton hasn’t shared too much new music, though “A Song to Sing” is his second big track of 2025. He also just released a new tune, “Bad as I Used to Be,” which appears on the soundtrack to the new F1 movie.

Lambert, meanwhile, released her most recent album, Postcards From Texas, in 2024. Since then, she’s dropped a handful of tracks, including “Ain’t In Kansas Anymore” from the Twisters soundtrack, and “Trailblazer” with Reba McEntire and Lainey Wilson.
