Pink and Kenny Chesney have released their brand new song "Setting the World on Fire". The new track will be featured in Kenny's new album "Cosmic Hallelujah", which is due out on October 28.
"Up all night and we were feelin' so good/ Yeah, we got a little higher than we probably should/ We were in a hotel singin' in the hallway lights/ We were strikin' the matches right down to the ashes/ Setting the world on fire, setting the world on fire," Pink and Kenny sing together.
"Excited to share a duet I recorded with @KennyChesney," Pink tweets.

Earlier this month, Kenny delayed the initial 8 July release of "Cosmic Hallelujah", previously named "Some Town Somewhere", to include his collab with Pink. "This is a song of being," he said of his duet with Pink in a press release, "But the more I listened, the more I knew I needed a woman's voice, to be in the song with me."
"Pink's voice holds so many feelings all at the same time: joy, desire, a bit of toughness, a little hurt. She's an incredible singer - and has this great tone that shines but has a little wear to it, but doesn't sound beat up. So I called her," he continued, "Sure, it would be easier to just leave everything on schedule. But when you have something you know is great, and it captures the best part of being alive, why wouldn't you slow down enough to make it happen in the moment? That's what 'Setting the World on Fire' is all about - and I figure it may be a while before I make another record, and I don't want to wait to share this because it's so good."
