When it comes to bringing the heat to a song about love, lust, and sex appeal, there might not be a better singer than Riley Green. Although many fans find the singer to be simply irresistible, Green has proven himself to be the perfect duet partner. He helped songs like “You Look Like You Love Me” and “Don’t Mind If I Do” go No.1 on the US Country Airplay Chart. And now, it appears that Green could be on his way to yet another No.1 thanks to Carly Pearce’s new song “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay.”

The title alone is already grabbing fans as many know the feeling of needing to leave but not being able to. Diving deep into the emotions that make up what could become a toxic relationship, Pearce knew she needed Green’s vocals to bring the story to life.
Thankfully, Pearce has been a fan of Green for a long time. That made it somewhat easier for her to approach him with the idea. “Collaborating with artists I’m a fan of is one of my favorite things to do. I’ve been a fan of Riley’s for so long and knew if we could find the right moment, it would be special. ‘If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay’ is the perfect moment for us!”
