Jelly Roll and Keith Urban’s Duet Gives Fans “Chills”

Jelly Roll achieved a longtime dream when Beautifully Broken debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200. Shortly after, the “Need a Favor” hitmaker, aged 39, surprised fans with a deluxe version of the album featuring collaborations with artists like Halsey, ERNEST, Keith Urban, and more.

Throughout his meteoric rise to fame, Jelly Roll has been refreshingly candid about his past struggles with addiction. This honesty resonates with Keith Urban, the “Blue Ain’t Your Color” singer, who has also publicly battled heavy alcohol and cocaine use.

“Don’t Want To” draws from both artists’ personal experiences:

“And just ’cause I ain’t reaching for the bottle
And I ain’t got a smoke between my lips
Oh, just ’cause I ain’t trying to numb my sorrows
With any kind of vice I ain’t tried yet
Don’t mean I don’t want to.”

On October 17, Jelly Roll took the stage for the Season 3 premiere of Amazon Live, performing hits like “Get By” and “Liar.” He also welcomed several collaborators, including Keith Urban, to join him on stage. Their heartfelt performance of “Don’t Want To” left fans speechless, showcasing their incredible chemistry and emotional depth.

Keith Urban Has Wanted To Work With Jelly For awhile
