Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton Bring 70s Vibes in “A Song To Sing” Music Video

A Retro Duet Fans Have Been Waiting For

Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton just transported fans straight into the 1970s with their first-ever duet, “A Song To Sing.” The newly released music video takes place at the Brentwood Skate Center, just south of Nashville, and perfectly captures the groovy energy of the era.

Both Lambert and Stapleton appear in matching terracotta suits, surrounded by skaters moving in rhythm to the beat. With every note, they bring the decade back to life, embracing a sound and style that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Channeling Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers

Lambert revealed that the song allowed her and Stapleton to channel their inner Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. To take things even further, the video features authentic touches from the country legends themselves. Lambert wears a pair of Dolly’s gold clip-on hoop earrings, while Stapleton sports a lion necklace that once belonged to Kenny Rogers.

The video also includes a fun cameo from Morgane Stapleton, who shines in a gold lamé outfit. Directed by Running Bear and produced by James Stratakis, the visual delivers a stylish throwback fans can’t stop talking about.

How the Duet Came Together

While fans only just heard “A Song To Sing” this summer, Lambert recently shared that the track was written a few years ago. In an interview with Cody Alan on SiriusXM’s The Highway, she explained that songwriter Jesse Frasure set up a last-minute writing session.

Frasure invited Chris Stapleton to join, and to Lambert’s surprise, he was available. Jenee Fleenor, an acclaimed fiddle player, had already laid down a groovy 70s-inspired track, which helped shape the song’s unique vibe. That day, the group wrote two songs, but this one felt special. It simply needed the right moment to be released.

Record-Breaking Success for “A Song To Sing”

The release of the music video follows the biggest streaming debut of Miranda Lambert’s career. In its first week, the duet racked up more than 3.3 million U.S. streams and over 4.3 million global streams. It also surpassed 27,000 in U.S. track consumption.

Co-written by Lambert, Stapleton, Jesse Frasure, and Jenee Fleenor, and produced by Dave Cobb, the track quickly reached the No. 1 spot on the Country Digital Song Sales chart. With its retro flair, heartfelt lyrics, and powerhouse vocals, the song has already become a fan favorite.

Why It Matters

“A Song To Sing” proves that country music legends like Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton can still surprise fans with something bold and refreshing. By blending modern country with classic 70s flair, the duo has created a track that feels timeless.

For fans of authentic country storytelling and retro-inspired sound, this duet may be one of the year’s most unforgettable releases.
