Country superstar Dolly Parton has joined two-time GRAMMY\u00ae award-winning duo for\u00a0KING & COUNTRY for a remake of the group\u2019s hit song \u201cGod Only Knows,\u201d premiering tonight on music streaming outlets and a video on YouTube. The song is already a big hit on Christian radio and the partnership with one of the world\u2019s most beloved music legends should take it to a whole new level, especially with audiences outside of Christian music.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first heard \u2018God Only Knows\u2019 I thought it was one of the best songs I\u2019d ever heard,\u201d Parton said. \u201cI came from a very spiritual background, and I love anything to do with inspirational songs that lift people up. I feel that this is a good song for right now, and it\u2019s so well written. I know that it touched me at a time when I needed to be lifted up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHearing Dolly sing that chorus and those words was an out of body experience for us as writers and artists,\u201d says Joel Smallbone, one half of for KING & COUNTRY. \u201cAs soon as we heard her vocals on the track, we immediately realized that this song was meant for her voice.\u201d<\/p>\n
