In a press release shared with PEOPLE, the “God’s Country" singer further congratulated Stefani on her first country success, and thanked his songwriters for the track.

“I knew the moment I heard this song that I wanted to record it,” Shelton said. “Shane McAnally, Ross Copperman, Josh Osborne and Tommy Lee James, you wrote a perfect song in which every lyric has meaning in my life, and I thank you."

"Another thanks goes to the fans who continue to listen – and I know there are a lot of distractions these days – one day soon we can all celebrate music together again," he said. "And finally, thanks to Gwen for joining me and making this one of the most special songs I’ve recorded. Congratulations on your first number one country single!”

Just one month before the love song hit No. 1, the couple dropped a guitar-filled acoustic version of their duet. The original track is part of Shelton’s 2019 album Fully Loaded: God’s Country.

Shelton and Stefani last performed the song at Shelton’s final L.A. show but also sang it during the Grammy Awards ceremony earlier this year.

Speaking to Ryan Seacrest on the E! red carpet earlier in the night, the couple confirmed that the song was not originally written as a duet.

“But once we listened to it, we realized it’s actually a perfect duet, especially for us — the lyrics of the song just fit our story perfectly,” Shelton said. “Believe it or not … we were in the gym, I was watching her work out, listening to the song and it was like, ‘Wait a minute. You need to sing on this song with me.'”

“It just all came together,” he added.

The couple is currently social distancing at Shelton's ranch in Oklahoma alongside Stefani’s three sons — Kingston, 13, Zuma, 11, and Apollo, 6 — and a handful of family members.
