Blake Shelton has been making waves with his new single, “Let Him In Anyway,” which has recently broken into the Top 30 on country radio. The song’s compelling narrative, centered around themes of faith and loss, has captivated many listeners, including Shelton himself.
During an interview with Country Now at the ACM Awards in Las Vegas, Shelton shared how he first came across the song. Initially sent to him by his record label, he believed it was meant for another artist until he recognized that it had HARDY’s distinct style.
Shelton expressed his excitement about recording a song that ventured into uncharted territory for him. He highlighted the emotional depth of the lyrics that address grief and the yearning for mercy after the loss of a loved one. The song’s narrator sends a heartfelt request to God, asking to allow a friend into heaven despite life’s imperfections.
Having previously collaborated with HARDY on hits like “God’s Country” and “Hell Right,” Shelton was eager to record this new track. He reminisced about his surprise when HARDY reached out before their recording session, expressing doubt about whether Shelton would actually record it. “I’m absolutely going to record that song,” Shelton assured him.
HARDY, who co-wrote the song with Zach Abend, Kyle Clark, and Carson Wallace, described “Let Him In Anyway” as a deeply emotional piece that resonates with many people, particularly those who have experienced loss. He noted that it’s a song that provokes thought and reflection, especially with its opening lines that ponder the fate of a soul after death.
HARDY conveyed his gratitude towards Shelton, acknowledging the significant role he has played in supporting his songwriting career. He moved to Nashville with aspirations of writing for Shelton, and the country star’s consistent praise and encouragement have left a lasting impression on him.
“Let Him In Anyway” is part of Shelton’s newest album, For Recreational Use Only, and has recently been brought to life through a music video. The song stands as a testament to both artists’ talents and the profound messages they wish to convey through their music.
