Keith Urban is taking Robbie Dupree’s “Steal Away” out for another ride.
And honestly, it feels like the song was waiting for this kind of second summer.
Golden-hour classic, this was released a decade and a half ago. Smooth groove. Easy romance. Soft-rock shine. The kind of music that feels like open windows, warm air, and a car ride where there is no real urgency or serious engagement.
Now, Keith has brought it back for his upcoming album, Flow State.
Official Audio: Robbie Dupree – Steal Away
Robbie Dupree released “Steal Away” in 1980, and it became his biggest hit. This isn’t Keith digging through the crates for a forgotten gem. The No. 6 chart position tells you it’s a genuine radio staple from its era, and he’s leaning fully into that legacy.
And that is what makes this cover fun.
Keith is not trying to turn “Steal Away” into something it never was. He is letting the breeze stay in it. But he adds his own warmth, his guitar touch, and that country-meets-pop shine fans know so well.
Keith Urban Puts His Spin on Robbie Dupree’s “Steal Away”
uDiscoverMusic described Keith’s version as a dreamy tribute to summertime nostalgia, and that fits perfectly. Flow State is Keith stepping into yacht-rock waters, with songs that feel smoother, lighter, and a little sunlit around the edges.
PEOPLE reported the project grew naturally in Keith’s Nashville studio, starting as a casual idea before becoming a full album.
Stop for a second. That’s why “Steal Away” fits here. Keith is not just borrowing nostalgia. He is reopening the door and letting a new crowd walk in. Robbie Dupree’s song had 1980. Keith Urban is giving it 2026, with a little country shimmer on the edges.
