Carly Pearce & Riley Green Announce Release Date For Steamy New Duet, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay”

The fans are going to have a field day with this one… and it’s coming very soon. Carly Pearce and Riley Green sent the internet into a frenzy last week when Carly posted a teaser of what we could only assume was some sort of duet, where they got very up close and personal with each other, as Green stared into Pearce’s eyes before the two lean in to each other.

Both the teased lyrics and caption for the post itself simply reads:

“Baby isn’t doing this the definition of insane.”

Considering how there are pretty much constantly rumors about Riley’s dating life, this of course quickly caught the attention of fans, and I’m sure the rumors about this one will be flying too, but these two are labelmates and aren’t dating (Carly also has a boyfriend), but it’s safe to say that the internet detectives will be out in full force regardless stirring up every rumor imaginable.

And usually that’s kind of the point of this sort of thing… I mean, the teasers are super steamy and they want people to talk about it, and I’m happy to oblige because even the very short teaser of the duet Carly shared sounded very interesting and I can’t wait to hear it.

Obviously, Riley has a great track records with his female duets, and of course the two hits he did with Ella Langley come to mind first in “you look like you love me” and “Don’t Mind If I Do,” and I don’t see why this one would be any different in terms of the quality of the song because Carly is also an incredibly talented artist who consistently puts out some of the best stuff in mainstream Nashville.

The best news is, fans won’t have to wait too much longer to hear it, as the pair announced on Instagram this morning that “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay” will be out on streaming platforms everywhere next Friday, March 13th:

“‘If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay.’ 3/13.”

Carly has been teasing a new album and put out several singles over the last couple months with the most recent one being “Church Girl,” but from the looks of it this song will be much different than that one and I know everyone’s going to be very excited to not only hear the song, but see whatever video they’ve been teasing if that’s what these visuals are from.

While she hasn’t announced anything official, it’s likely that this song will be featured on the tracklist for whatever project Carly has in the works, and the cover artwork is something else…
