"Can't Stop Lovin' You" is apower ballad by Americanhard rock bandAerosmith featuring American country recording artistCarrie Underwood that was released on April 6, 2013,[2] as the fourth single from the Aerosmith albumMusic from Another Dimension!.
Aerosmith lead singer and songwriterSteven Tyler and frequent collaboratorMarti Frederiksen wrote the song with the band during sessions forMusic from Another Dimension!. Tyler sang it in an "emotional drawl" similar to the band's 1993 hit "Cryin'" and the song took on a romantic, country sound.
Tyler commented, "When it was done, it was discussed that I might have sang [sic] it a little too country. And all along we thought, should we get someone in?" Tyler contacted country singerCarrie Underwood, whom he had collaborated with in recent years, including a duet at a 2012Country Music Television Special and a performance at the 2011Academy of Country Music Awards, where Tyler and Underwood performed the Aerosmith classic "Walk This Way" together, as well as Underwood's song "Undo It", which was co-written by Frederiksen. The day Tyler contacted Underwood, she happened to be in town but had to leave the next morning, so Tyler asked her if she could come into record that night, and she agreed.[3]
About2+1⁄2 months after the release ofMusic from Another Dimension!, "Can't Stop Lovin' You" was released as a single toadult contemporary,hot adult contemporary, and modern radio formats on January 21, 2013.[2]Examiner.com wrote that the song features "country-pop guitar licks and an earworm melody right up Underwood's alley". Aerosmith lead guitaristJoe Perry was initially skeptical of the collaboration with Underwood, but after hearing it, said "Their voices matched up really well. It doesn't sound forced. It was just right."[4]
