Love Songs Ain't for Us
"Love Songs Ain't for Us" is a song recorded by Australian singer-songwriter Amy Shark, featuring Keith Urban. The song was released on 19 February 2021 as the fourth single from Shark's forthcoming second studio album, Cry Forever. Shark recalls saying "Just before we started the writing session, Ed asked me if I wrote songs about my man, I told him I do, but love songs aren't really for us. He then smiled and said 'ok that's what we'll do then'. I don't know why but I struggle to write straight forward love songs, the second they start sounding too lovey and gushy I tend to follow it up with a lyric that's semi sad or confronting. This song is as loved up as you'll get from me and I love it." Speaking to Rolling Stone Australia, Shark explained that working with another artist is something which needs to feel "right" and "natural". Shark said "This particular song that he's on, it felt like it needed something, and when someone threw Keith Urban's name in, I was like, 'Oh my god, that's genius, and it's perfect!'... Once we sent it to him, he was just so stoked and more than happy to be involved, and just took the song to another level." "The song is so classy and timeless I needed to find a class act to join me. Keith is so professional and well respected around the world, so it was a no brainer".
