Keith Urban<\/a> and Eric Church<\/a> performed their new single\u00a0\u201cRaise \u2018Em Up\u201d<\/a> together during a showcase at the 2015 Country Radio Seminar.<\/p>\n

Before the two started singing, Urban playfully asked how much sleep new dad Church has been getting. Church\u2019s second son<\/a>, Tennessee Hawkins, was born on Feb. 15.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like back in the club days,\u201d Church quipped. \u201cWithout the drugs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Urban says he knew right away that he wanted Church to sing \u201cRaise \u2018Em Up,\u201d which appears on Urban\u2019s\u00a0Fuse<\/em> album, with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a cinematic song as well, and I\u2019ve always considered Eric to be a very cinematic artist,\u201d Urban says<\/a>. \u201cI sent him the song, and he was in the studio immediately. I\u2019m so glad he wanted to be a part of it because it took the song to a new place.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Aussie also debuted<\/a> a new song, \u201cJohn Cougar, John Deere and John 3:16,\u201d at the CRS showcase. Urban has revealed<\/a> that he is working on a new album, but there\u2019s no word on if the tune will be on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sort of doing the preliminary work of figuring out what the next record is,\u201d Urban says<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s reaching out and talking with people about working with them in the studio, different writers. It\u2019s just lots of ideas and tinkering right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Church\u00a0performed<\/a> a brand-new song as well. The track is about his grandfather\u2019s diagnosis with Alzheimer\u2019s disease, when Church was only 10 years old.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hardest thing was to have a relationship when that person doesn\u2019t remember you,\u201d he says<\/a>, adding that the song \u201cmay never be recorded.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRaise \u2018Em Up\u201d is available for download on iTunes<\/a>.<\/p>\n
