About What If I Never Get Over You

"What If I Never Get Over You" is a song written by Ryan Hurd, Sam Ellis, Laura Veltz and Jon Green, and recorded by American country music trio Lady Antebellum. It was released to country radio on May 17, 2019 and serves as Lady Antebellum's first single on BMLG Records after signing with the label in August 2018, and it features lead vocals from both Hillary Scott and Charles Kelley. The song serves as the lead single for the group's eighth studio album, Ocean.

"What If I Never Get Over You" was written by singer-songwriter Ryan Hurd with Sam Ellis, Laura Veltz and Jon Green for Universal Music Publishing Nashville. The track was written to depict the "portrait of perpetual, never-ending heartbreak" Hurd imagined he would feel if he were to separate from his wife, fellow singer Maren Morris. During the development process, Veltz proposed grafting the word "what" onto the beginning of the hook and title to reflect the song's open-endedness. Originally sung by Hurd as a solo male demo, the song was pitched to Lady Antebellum by one of BMLG Records's senior A&R executives and adapted to a male-female duet. The group worked with producer Dann Huff for the track and recorded it on March 4, 2019 at Starstruck Recording Studios in Nashville, Tennessee.
