But over in the US, Keith Urban has taken that approach to the next level with a surprise performance at Nashville International Airport.

A few days ago, Keith had given fans some insight about what he new track is all about.

"This song is about a relationship…should we call it a relationship ??? We’re calling it a relationship," he said.

"It's about two people who know they aren’t good for each other: it’s dysfunctional, makes no sense, it might even be toxic, but they keep going back because there’s one thing they’re REALLY good at !!!"
