## Summary

Miranda Lambert has recalled writing “Over You” with her then-husband Blake Shelton, describing the late-night session as a “pretty magical” moment when their personal relationship gave way to two songwriters sharing an honest conversation. The song matters to both of them, she said, and remains special despite their divorce and later relationships.

The pair wrote it in 2012 after discussing several bereavements: Shelton’s brother’s death, his father’s death and Lambert’s loss of a close friend in an accident. Lambert said their touring schedules had left little time to write together, and “Over You” became their first collaborative release. They divorced in 2015 after a decade together; Shelton is now married to Gwen Stefani, and Lambert to Brendan McLoughlin.
