According to Billboard, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton collaborated on 13 songs. This includes the chart-topper, “Over You,” “Me and Your Cigarettes,” “Sin for a Sin,” “Love Song,” and “Family Feud.” The latter appears on the Pistol Annies’ debut album and features Lambert and Shelton as co-writers. Of the songs that the one-time couple co-wrote, “Over You” remains their blockbuster hit. Per Billboard, it recounts Shelton’s pain when his older brother Rich died in a car accident. “I would never try to write your story because I didn’t live it, but maybe I could help because I’m an outside perspective … I feel your pain talking to me right now,” Lambert remembered telling Shelton (via Billboard). The ballad won Song of the Year at the ACM and CMA Awards, per Country Now.
As befitting a country music couple, Lambert and Shelton have a medley of duets under their cowboy belts. Billboard reports there are six: “Better In The Long Run,” “Bare Skin Rug,” “Red River Blue,” “Jingle Bell Rock,” “Blue Christmas,” and “Boys ‘Round Here.” Arguably, their most famous duet isn’t one they wrote. The former couple met onstage in 2005 to perform “You’re The Reason God Made Oklahoma” for CMT’s Greatest Duets TV. Shelton was married, rocking a mullet, and Lambert had just released her freshman album “Kerosene.”

Other than duets and co-written tracks, Shelton sang background vocals for Lambert’s “Maintain The Pain.” She returned the favor for Shelton’s “Home.”
