        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There may be a global pandemic, but A-list couple Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are &#8220;Happy Anywhere.&#8221;</p><p>At least that&#8217;s the name of the power couple&#8217;s latest uplifting country tune dropped Friday, July 24.</p><p>The nearly 3-minute song kicks off with a banjo riff followed by Shelton&#8217;s buttery crooning, &#8220;I&#8217;ve always been a rolling stone with a reckless streak. Yet the grass never gets too grown underneath my feet.&#8221;</p><p>Shelton, 44, continues to say that no matter where he is in life, or on Earth, he&#8217;ll always be happy and at home with his partner of five years, Stefani, 50, by his side.</p><p>Stefani — formerly of No Doubt — then joins him singing, &#8220;I&#8217;m running wide open. I was born with my feet in motion. But since I met you, I swear, I could be happy anywhere.&#8221;</p><p>They repeat the sweet message with the lyrics: &#8220;Any map dot location, you&#8217;re always my destination. You&#8217;re the only thing that I&#8217;m chained to. I could be happy anywhere, I could be happy anywhere with you.&#8221;</p><figure id="attachment_16030646"  class="wp-caption alignleft"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/blake-shelton-gwen-stefani-1.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/07/blake-shelton-gwen-stefani-1.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/blake-shelton-gwen-stefani-1.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton</span><span class="credit">CBS via Getty Images</span></figcaption></figure><p>The 44-year-old country vocalist explained that the coronavirus contributed, in part, to why he wanted to release the romantic number, written by Ross Copperman, Josh Osborne and Matt Jenkins. The couple also <strong>performed it together on the &#8220;Today&#8221; show</strong>.</p><p>&#8220;Even though Gwen and I just had a single out, we decided that, under the circumstances this year&#8230; man, there&#8217;s never been a better time for &#8216;Happy Anywhere,&#8217; &#8221; Shelton said in a press release, referring to their 2019 hit &#8220;Nobody But You&#8221; from his &#8220;Fully Loaded: God&#8217;s Country&#8221; album.</p><p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve all been in quarantine and lockdown, and hopefully we&#8217;ve been doing that with somebody that we really love and enjoy being around. That&#8217;s what happened with Gwen and me this summer — and this entire year.&#8221;</p><p>Shelton also debuted a sneak peak of the track&#8217;s forthcoming music video on Instagram Thursday in a clip that shows Stefani flipping her hair with a big smile as she squeezes Shelton in for a hug. The tune&#8217;s signature banjo riff plays in the background.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_iQw-gpg-/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="12" ><p><script src="https://platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js" async="async"></script><br /> <strong></p><p><svg width="50px" height="50px" viewBox="0 0 60 60" version="1.1" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"><g transform="translate(-511.000000, -20.000000)" fill="#000000"><g><path d="M556.869,30.41 C554.814,30.41 553.148,32.076 553.148,34.131 C553.148,36.186 554.814,37.852 556.869,37.852 C558.924,37.852 560.59,36.186 560.59,34.131 C560.59,32.076 558.924,30.41 556.869,30.41 M541,60.657 C535.114,60.657 530.342,55.887 530.342,50 C530.342,44.114 535.114,39.342 541,39.342 C546.887,39.342 551.658,44.114 551.658,50 C551.658,55.887 546.887,60.657 541,60.657 M541,33.886 C532.1,33.886 524.886,41.1 524.886,50 C524.886,58.899 532.1,66.113 541,66.113 C549.9,66.113 557.115,58.899 557.115,50 C557.115,41.1 549.9,33.886 541,33.886 M565.378,62.101 C565.244,65.022 564.756,66.606 564.346,67.663 C563.803,69.06 563.154,70.057 562.106,71.106 C561.058,72.155 560.06,72.803 558.662,73.347 C557.607,73.757 556.021,74.244 553.102,74.378 C549.944,74.521 548.997,74.552 541,74.552 C533.003,74.552 532.056,74.521 528.898,74.378 C525.979,74.244 524.393,73.757 523.338,73.347 C521.94,72.803 520.942,72.155 519.894,71.106 C518.846,70.057 518.197,69.06 517.654,67.663 C517.244,66.606 516.755,65.022 516.623,62.101 C516.479,58.943 516.448,57.996 516.448,50 C516.448,42.003 516.479,41.056 516.623,37.899 C516.755,34.978 517.244,33.391 517.654,32.338 C518.197,30.938 518.846,29.942 519.894,28.894 C520.942,27.846 521.94,27.196 523.338,26.654 C524.393,26.244 525.979,25.756 528.898,25.623 C532.057,25.479 533.004,25.448 541,25.448 C548.997,25.448 549.943,25.479 553.102,25.623 C556.021,25.756 557.607,26.244 558.662,26.654 C560.06,27.196 561.058,27.846 562.106,28.894 C563.154,29.942 563.803,30.938 564.346,32.338 C564.756,33.391 565.244,34.978 565.378,37.899 C565.522,41.056 565.552,42.003 565.552,50 C565.552,57.996 565.522,58.943 565.378,62.101 M570.82,37.631 C570.674,34.438 570.167,32.258 569.425,30.349 C568.659,28.377 567.633,26.702 565.965,25.035 C564.297,23.368 562.623,22.342 560.652,21.575 C558.743,20.834 556.562,20.326 553.369,20.18 C550.169,20.033 549.148,20 541,20 C532.853,20 531.831,20.033 528.631,20.18 C525.438,20.326 523.257,20.834 521.349,21.575 C519.376,22.342 517.703,23.368 516.035,25.035 C514.368,26.702 513.342,28.377 512.574,30.349 C511.834,32.258 511.326,34.438 511.181,37.631 C511.035,40.831 511,41.851 511,50 C511,58.147 511.035,59.17 511.181,62.369 C511.326,65.562 511.834,67.743 512.574,69.651 C513.342,71.625 514.368,73.296 516.035,74.965 C517.703,76.634 519.376,77.658 521.349,78.425 C523.257,79.167 525.438,79.673 528.631,79.82 C531.831,79.965 532.853,80.001 541,80.001 C549.148,80.001 550.169,79.965 553.369,79.82 C556.562,79.673 558.743,79.167 560.652,78.425 C562.623,77.658 564.297,76.634 565.965,74.965 C567.633,73.296 568.659,71.625 569.425,69.651 C570.167,67.743 570.674,65.562 570.82,62.369 C570.966,59.17 571,58.147 571,50 C571,41.851 570.966,40.831 570.82,37.631"></path></g></g></g></svg></p><p> View this post on Instagram</p><p></strong></p><p > <strong>TOMORROW!!!!!! #HappyAnywhere @gwenstefani</strong></p><p >A post shared by <strong> Blake Shelton</strong> (@blakeshelton) on <time  datetime="2020-07-23T17:20:03+00:00">Jul 23, 2020 at 10:20am PDT</time></p></blockquote><p>During a livestream to promote the track Thursday, Warner Music Nashville&#8217;s Shane Tarleton shared that it was Stefani&#8217;s brother, Todd Stefani, who shot the video while quarantined with the duo at Shelton&#8217;s ranch in Oklahoma, <strong>Entertainment Tonight</strong> reported. Often shot in 105-degree heat, the video will also include archival footage ripped from Stefani&#8217;s phone, which she said will paint &#8220;the totality&#8221; of their relationship.</p><p>&#8220;I have the easiest job at this point in my life, and it&#8217;s a blast to be a country singer and do what I do,&#8221; Shelton said during the stream. &#8220;It&#8217;s hilarious that listening to the radio the last couple of years that Gwen Stefani is going to be singing the &#8216;countriest&#8217; song to come out of Nashville&#8230; It&#8217;s ironic. It&#8217;s funny.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Happy Anywhere&#8221; comes just ahead of the couple&#8217;s one-night-only concert with Trace Adkins which will be shown exclusively at drive-in theaters across the US on Saturday, July 25.</p><figure id="attachment_16030648"  class="wp-caption aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/blake-shelton-gwen-stefani-2.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/07/blake-shelton-gwen-stefani-2.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/blake-shelton-gwen-stefani-2.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Stefani and Shelton</span><span class="credit">Getty Images for The Recording A</span></figcaption></figure>]]></content:encoded>
