When Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton hit the stage, magic happens. At the 59th CMA Awards in Nashville, that magic had a name: “A Song To Sing.”
On a night led by Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson, two of country’s strongest voices took the spotlight and transformed Bridgestone Arena.
‘A Song To Sing’ is their first duet, a lovestruck country track with a disco shimmer, inspired by classic Dolly and Kenny duets. It sounds timeless, like a 1979 hit that feels fresh today.
Live on the CMA stage, they leaned into that retro feel.

Here, the same duet you saw onstage is stripped of cameras and crowd shots, letting Dave Cobb’s studio production shine. The smoky keys, soft guitars, and laid-back groove feel even warmer, and every line about boulevards, broken dreams, and finding the way back home is right in front of you.

Lainey Wilson’s CMA rehearsal footage captures the nerves, laughter, and last-minute chaos inside Bridgestone Arena before the lights come up and Miranda and Chris step out for “A Song To Sing.” You see the scale of the show she is carrying on her shoulders, the crew around her, and the sense of “village” she talks about later.
