Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are back at it again—proving once more that country charm and pop sass can make one unforgettable duo. Their brand-new song, “Hangin’ On,” is here just in time to claim a spot on your summer playlist, and it’s got all the feels—heartbreak, humor, and undeniable chemistry.
The track, which appears on Blake’s latest album For Recreational Use Only (released May 9), is a breakup anthem with a twist. It’s upbeat, addictive, and unexpectedly fun—even if it’s all about a love that’s slipping away. That contrast is part of what makes it so special. But believe it or not, Gwen almost didn’t go for it.
“She’s funny about songs that don’t match her personal story,” Blake shared during a visit to TODAY with Jenna & Friends. “But I told her, ‘I don’t even want to do this unless you’re on it.’ And I’m so glad she jumped in.”
Good thing she did—because the song works. Their harmonies dance between playful teasing and bittersweet emotion, showcasing their real-life connection and artistic synergy. It’s the kind of duet only they could pull off: part breakup, part banger, and somehow… still romantic.
“Hangin’ On” marks the couple’s seventh musical collaboration, following fan favorites like:
“Go Ahead and Break My Heart” (2016)
“You Make It Feel Like Christmas” (2017)
“Nobody but You” (2020)
“Happy Anywhere” (2020)
“Love Is Alive” (2023 – Judds cover)
“Purple Irises” (2024 Super Bowl TikTok Tailgate anthem)
With every new release, Blake and Gwen continue to blur genre lines while staying true to their unique bond—both on stage and off. And whether they’re singing about staying together or falling apart, one thing’s for sure: these two make beautiful music.
So, if you’re looking for a breakup song that still leaves you smiling, “Hangin’ On” might be your new favorite.
