[Am] Dan and Shay have a new collaboration with Justin Bieber called 10,000 Hours, but what
does that [G] mean?
And what is this song about?
The duo told us all about their new song and shared how their wives reacted.
In fact, they told us all sorts of things about what they got coming musically, so if
you're fans of either the country duo or the pop star, you're gonna wanna subscribe
[Dm] because we keep secrets like warm [A] soda keeps its fizz.
[G] I'm Billy Dukes with Taste of Country and Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney say they're fired
up about this song.
We wrote this song in Nashville with a couple friends of ours, Jesse Joe Dillon, who's
written a million hits, amazing songwriter, the daughter of Dean Dillon, who's also
written like every country hit ever, and Jordan Reynolds, who we did Tequila and Speechless with.
If you're new here, Tequila and Speechless are two massive Dan and Shay songs from their
self-titled album, and they're two songs the duo actually performed at Justin Bieber's wedding.

Here's more Dan and Shay.
The concept, 10,000 Hours, they say, what do they say, it takes 10,000 hours to really
It takes 10,000 hours to get proficient at something or to truly master something, and
we took that and kind of spun it to love.
Whether it's 10,000 hours to get to know that person and to be able to truly love them
in the best way, or it's just the rest of your life, that's the hook.
If it's 10,000 hours the rest of my life, I'm gonna love you.
And it's just about learning your significant other and taking that time.
Author Malcolm Gladwell popularized the 10,000 hours theory [F] of expertise.
Smyers and Mooney say that when they wrote it, they started hearing Justin [D] Bieber's
voice on it [C] and [Bb] asking him to do it wasn't all that far [Eb]-fetched.
You see, they all share a manager in Scooter Braun, [N] and they've met Justin before.
They also know he and his wife are big country music fans, so they passed it along and
And he hit back right away, he's like, loves the song, wants to do it.
We're like, uh, okay.
We didn't know how to, we didn't think you'd say that.
So we connected and he, you know, wrote a couple lines on it and put his spin on it.
And he, coincidentally, you know, the song is about love.
He just got married.
Right.
We were at the wedding, which was also a crazy story.
But, uh, you know, the timing was perfect.
He sounds great on the song and to get to put it out as a single off of a new project
to, you know, to follow up the success we had on our self-titled album is, it's a cool
moment for us, man.
10,000 hours drops [G] everywhere on October 4th, and you can expect to see the song everywhere really quickly.
What does that mean?
We asked if a CMA Awards collaboration was [N] in the works, but Dan and Shay said they had
not had any conversations about performing there yet.
What about like a tour with Justin Bieber?
Man, I don't know.
I don't know what we have in the works.
We're working on a couple things.
Do you know or are you just going?
You're sitting there like, I don't know what's going to happen.
We're [Bb] like, I don't know what's going to [G] happen.
It's up in the air.
