Keith Urban's upcoming The Speed Of Now Part 1 album has a duet with Pink called "One Too Many" and according to Keith, the duet came about because he took a "shot" at getting her to record with him.

Urban told us, "She's just a great, great singer and really gifted. I mean, she's one of the great vocalists -- period -- in the world. Her long, long career is testament to that."

He explains how he got her on the project, "She knows a good song. I was really hoping that she would love 'One Too Many.' I didn't know her really well but they always say you miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take. So I thought, 'Well, I got nothing to lose.' I'll send her the song somehow, get a hold of her. And she loved it. And there it is."

Pink posted to Instagram last week, "Can’t wait for you to hear ‘One Too Many’ on the new @keithurban album THE SPEED OF NOW Part 1 - out September 18th."

The Speed Of Now Part 1 will be released on September 18, 2020

Keith just revealed another song on the album called "Tumbleweed."

He posted to Instagram this morning (8/28), "Everybody needs a buddy when they’re on the run TUMBLEWEED • OUT NOW."
