Blake Shelton’s hit song “God’s Country” isn’t just another country anthem—it’s a heartfelt tribute inspired by his deep connection to his Oklahoma ranch. Shelton first heard the demo while working on his farm and immediately felt the song speak directly to him.
“It was talking to me about a place that I was in at that moment, which was a place in the middle of nowhere that meant something to me that probably nobody else could ever understand,” Shelton reflected.
This powerful connection compelled him to record the song, which was released in 2019 and quickly rose to acclaim. “God’s Country” earned prestigious Single of the Year awards at both the Academy of Country Music Awards (ACMs) and the Country Music Association Awards (CMAs), cementing its place in modern country music history.
