Country music superstar Keith Urban co-wrote “Put You in a Song” alongside songwriters Sarah Buxton and Jedd Hughes. It was released on September 13, 2010 as the first single from his sixth American studio album Get Closer.
“I’ve always loved songs about ‘the guy in love with the unattainable girl,’” Urban shared in a statement regarding the track’s release. “And the idea that the only chance that this poor guy is ever going to have to get close to the object of his affection is to put her in a song … just struck me. That way, he’d be able to take her with him everywhere he goes … day and night.”

“Put You In A Song” Lyrics
Well here you come again and you’re lookin’ so fine
You don’t notice me but it’s alright
I’m just a guy who wishes that I could be your man someday
Yeah a picture paints a thousand words it’s true
But it’s still not enough for how I feel about you
I wanna put you in a melody, I gotta set you to a groove
I wanna put you in my car and drive
And turn you up loud, roll down all the windows and shout it out
I love this girl oh
If I could press play, repeat, how happy I’d be
Wherever I’d go I’d have you there with me
You’d be right where you belong
I wanna put you in a song, oh oh oh
Well I’d sing about your smile and your pretty blue eyes
The way your hair shimmers in the sunlight
It’d be so easy I’ll just write it from my heart
‘Cause I gotta tell the world what you mean to me
Wrap you up in a melody so you’ll be
Stuck in my head all day
‘Cause you’re already there anyway, yes you are
I wanna put you in my car and drive
And turn you up loud, roll down all the windows and shout it out
I love this girl
If I could press play, repeat, how happy I’d be
Wherever I’d go I’d have you there with me
You’d be right where you belong
I wanna put you in a song
And if I get it right everybody will be singing along yeah
And when they see you on the street they’ll say
Hey ain’t you the girl in that song
I wanna put you in my car and drive
And turn you up loud, roll down all the windows and shout it out
I’m in love with this girl
Yeah if I could press play, rewind a couple million times
Imagine for a moment that you’re all mine
Every night I’d drive you home
If I could put you in a
Let me put you in a song
Let me put you in a song
Oh a pretty little song about you baby
Be sure to share this tune with other fans of Keith!
