Country music superstar Keith Urban's "Gemini" was directly inspired by his relationship with wife Nicole Kidman! More on the song here.
Country music phenom Keith Urban’s latest album, Graffiti U, is now available and it’s tenth track, “Gemini,” is especially hot. With lyrics like this— She’s a maniac in the bed/ But a braniac in her head/ And I know that everybody knows/ Ooh, that she’s both— it’s clear that Urban was inspired by his wife Nicole Kidman and her astrological sign.
“When I create, rarely do I have a set idea,” Urban explained to ET. “‘Gemini’ started with the four of us in that room — Ian Kirkpatrick, Justin Tanit and Julia Michaels and myself. Ian had a cool groove going and I started playing guitar and melody starts coming. Justin and Julia are asking me about Nic, ‘Tell us about Nic.’ And I said, ‘Well, she’s a Gemini,’ and they’re like, ‘Ooh.’ And Julia starts singing, ‘Baby, she’s both,’ and the song just started to take off from there.”
Although the tune was built around the award-winning actress, she was not present during the songwriting session. “That’s why I got so intimate, I’m sure,” Urban confessed. “I was missing her, maybe.”

“Gemini” Lyrics
She’s not quite a contradiction
She’s rolls with it
Quick with a snap decision
I’m fine with it
Strong on her strong opinions
I’m weak for it
It’s not just one thing, not just one thing
I want all of it, huh
Mmm
Emotionally, physically, diving right in
Mmm
Emotionally, physically, getting a hold of me
Mmm
Emotionally, spiritually, moving so close to me
Mmm
I wonder if she knows
She’s a maniac in the bed
But a braniac in her head
And I know that everybody knows
Ooh, that she’s both
Wears a lot of light dress
But she’s pretty even in a mess
And I know that everybody knows
Ooh, that she’s both
All of my complications
She’s see through them
I don’t know if it’s because of
Or in spite of it
But I don’t doubt her intentions
When she’s staying in
It’s not just one thing
Not just one thing
I want all of it, huh
Mmm
Emotionally, spiritually, moving so close to me
Mmm
I wonder if she knows
She’s a maniac in the bed
But a braniac in her head
And I know that everybody knows
Ooh, that she’s both
Wears a lot of light dress
But she’s pretty even in a mess
And I know that everybody knows
Ooh, that she’s both
She’s in my soul, I want it more
She’s in my heart now, in my heart now
She’s a maniac in the bed
But a braniac in her head
And I know that everybody knows (everybody knows)
Ooh, that she’s both (everybody knows)
Wears a lot of light dress (yes, she does)
But she’s pretty even in a mess (ooh, give it to me)
And I know that everybody knows
Ooh, that she’s both
That she’s both, ooh yeah
She’s spinning around the room
When she’s spinning around the room
When she got the stars coming outta her eyes
Got everybody staring, caught in the headlights
A little bit left, a little bit right
She waiting to make in the middle of the night
Never a bad thing to say about you
I’m a man brought back to life
Cast her and pull her
Upset her to save me
I’ve been turned by a Gemini
Ooh
She’s in my heart now, in my heart now
She’s in my heart now, in my heart now
Spinning around the room, ooh
She’s in my heart now, in my heart now
She’s in my heart now, in my heart now
Ooh, yeah, hey, woo
Needless to say, Nicole is Keith’s number one fan!
