The new duet follows Johnson’s No. 1 single with Carrie Underwood
Multi-platinum selling artist Cody Johnson and Mexican singer-songwriter Carín León have released a collaboration called “She Hurts Like Tequila.” Cody discovered Carín’s music more than a year ago and was so intrigued with the lyrics, melodies and his outstanding voice that it prompted an invitation to write together. Those plans led to meeting up in Las Vegas where they were also joined by co-writers Trent Willmon, Johan Sotelo, and Orlando Aispuro Meneses. “She Hurts Like Tequila” came out of that session and they were joined with co-writers Trent Willmon, Johan Sotelo, and Orlando Aispuro Meneses.
The new song comes on the heels of Johnson’s highly successful, two-week No. 1 single “I’m Gonna Love You” with Carrie Underwood. The monster hit became the fourth No. 1 single of Johnson’s career and his second double week No. 1.
Yesterday (Thurs, Mar 27th), Johnson received seven nominations this morning for the upcoming 60th Academy of Country Music Awards, including Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Song of the Year and Single of the Year for “Dirt Cheap,” Music Event of the Year for “I’m Gonna Love You” with Carrie Underwood, and two nominations in the Visual Media category for “Dirt Cheap” and “I’m Gonna Love You.” The May 8th show will be hosted by Reba McEntire and returns exclusively on Prime Video live from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, airing 8 pm EDT/5 pm PDT.
Johnson wraps up his overseas tour dates this weekend in Australia and will resume his Leather Deluxe Tour on April 25 & 26 at the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana.
