In 2018, Lambert opened up about her and Aldean’s summer hit that ranked No. 1 on the country’s radio charts.
“Yes, I had to sing to someone with a penis to get number one,” Lambert told The Washington Post at the time about the radio disparity in country music.
“I really like this person, Jason Aldean … so it was a great song with an old friend,” he continued, explaining, “It’s interesting that I haven’t had a Top 20 in a long, long time. And then go on to number 1 because he’s a guy. “
Lambert added: “But you know, if we were to see how many singles or records were sold for the 10 most popular songs right now, it would probably triple that in record sales. So it doesn’t matter.”
As for “Bluebird,” Lambert previously explained the inspiration behind the track and how he has a “definitive Miranda line.”
