“Cowboy Casanova” Is the First Single from Carrie Underwood’s November 3 Album Release, Play On

Rush Release to Radio Follows Leak of Unfinished Version of the Song

Nashville, TN – Superstar Carrie Underwood cuts loose with playful energy as she offers a cautionary word about a “Cowboy Casanova,” the title character to the first single from Carrie’s upcoming third album, Play On.

Underwood wrote the track with Mike Elizondo and Brett James, one of the writers behind Carrie’s GRAMMY-winning “Jesus, Take the Wheel.”

Originally slated to arrive at country radio on September 8, the leak of a rough, unfinished version of “Cowboy Casanova” prompted a rushed-to-radio delivery of the real single late Wednesday evening. Fans can hear the genuine single of “Cowboy Casanova” online now at both carrieunderwoodofficial.com, as well as youtube.com/carrieunderwood.

A four-time GRAMMY Award winner, ACM Entertainer of the Year, and reigning, three-time CMA and ACM Female Vocalist winner, Carrie is continuing work on Play On, which releases on November 3. She is again teamed with Mark Bright, who produced her Carnival Ride collection as well as seven tracks from Some Hearts.

Since the release of her debut album, Some Hearts, in 2005, Underwood has amassed sales of more than 10 million albums with Some Hearts and 2007’s Carnival Ride. Along the way, she has consistently broken new ground and earlier this year became the first country artist in history and the only American Idol winner ever to achieve 10 #1 singles from their first two albums.
