In fact, she was really excited that they will be writing a song together \u201cbecause she\u2019s always coming up with song ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And since \u201cTime for Me to Come Home\u201d is also more or less \u201cabout the relationship between a kid and his mom,\u201d Shelton asked her mom to sing the song with him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat thrilled me, but at the same time, it made me very nervous because I\u2019m not a great singer,\u201d Shackleford admitted. \u201cI just about passed out \u2026 but somehow I got through it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can listen to Shelton and his mom\u2019s duet of the Christmas song in the video below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Blake Shelton - Time for Me to Come Home (feat.

In 2018, the song was also turned into a Hallmark Christmas movie, Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>Shelton executive produced the film. It tells the tale of a big-time music star named Heath (Josh Henderson) who found himself stranded in Chicago during the holidays with a small-town girl, Cara (Megan Park). Despite his fame, Cara has no idea who Heath is. While they were both heading back to Oklahoma, a connection sparked between the two.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHeath has some of Blake\u2019s personality,\u201d Shackleford said. \u201cHe\u2019s a little witty, and he\u2019s a nice guy. Heath\u2019s father has passed, and Blake\u2019s father has passed in real life. There are bits and pieces of Blake in it. But [it\u2019s] mostly all fiction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Shelton produced another film, Time for You to Come Home for Christmas in 2019, and now, eight years after the song\u2019s release, fans get to enjoy the third film in the sequel, Time for Us to Come Home for Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>It starred Lacey Chabert and Stephen Huszar, and it debuted on Saturday, December 5. The film mixes Hallmark\u2019s signature romance with a hint of mystery with its plot that follows five guests \u2013 all of them were secretly invited to the same inn. Sarah (Lacey Chabert) sets out to solve the mystery and discover what connects her and the other guests.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the song \u201cTime for Me to Come Home\u201d is more than just a commercial success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow it\u2019s Christmas, Christmas. I\u2019m hurrying\u2019 on my way. Christmas, Christmas, like I\u2019m riding in a one-horse sleigh. Well, I don\u2019t have to hear no jingle bells, just the ringing of the phone. Mama just called and said it\u2019s time for me to come home,\u201d it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home\u00a0Uncategorized\u00a0Blake Shelton, a country music giant, stood on stage, his voice steady as he prepared for a holiday performance that would tug at every heartstring in the&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":997,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-996","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=996"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/996\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":998,"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/996\/revisions\/998"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow24.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
