Carrie Underwood, 'Undo It' - Story Behind the Lyrics

Carrie UnderwoodCarrie Underwood's current single, 'Undo It,' is a rocking tune that gets stuck in your head. And it seems the superstar's fans cannot stop singing its praises since it recently climbed five spots from 13 to eight on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart.

Carrie's co-writers on the song included 'American Idol' judge Kara DioGuardi, Luke Laird and Marti Frederiksen. The singer says their idea for the 'Undo It' hook came almost accidentally. "The guys had their guitars and they were playing something kind of bluesy, and Kara's got such a great R&B sense about her," Carrie explains. "And I started, 'Na, na, na-ing' to whatever they were playing. And they were like, 'What if that was the hook?' I said, 'Aw, I don't know?' And before you knew it, we had 'Uh, uh, uh undo it.' I mean, who would have thought? How do you write that down on paper? It was something that it didn't take that long to write and it's so much fun to sing on stage, and people get into it. If you listen to it twice, you know all the words! We had a lot of fun with it."

So much fun that the foursome wrote another song that is also featured on Carrie's 'Play On' album. "We wrote 'Mama's Song' and 'Undo It' in the same couple of days," Carrie says, "so it was really cool to have two completely different songs from the same group of people and the same energy going on in the same room.

Taylor Swift fans are doing the same exact thing that Carrie Underwood fans have done for the last year. Carrie Underwood fans have complained more about Taylor Swift winning awards, than Taylor Swift fans have been about Carrie Underwood fans. Seriously have you not heard the phrase, What goes around comes around. and I doubt you understand country music. I love both Carrie and Taylor. but they are not the old time country which I also love. They are the new generation country that, well started with Garth Brooks. Singers like Frank Sinatra and even Reba McEntire have been criticized for their vocals. Look at them now. Get over it. Yes, this was Carrie's time, but then think, Carrie recently had a CD come out. Taylor has not. That's how it goes.

I usually don't go crazy for carrie Underwood songs, but this one is really good. I started to listen to it before it became a single. Now will she make "Songs Like This" a single? I hope so.

lol.. Do you really think all the people who dislike Carrie is a Taylor fan? Believe me, there are plenty of people who can't stand Carrie and it has nothing to do with Taylor.
The songs horrible..plain and simple! Has nothing to do with Taylor. It's funny to me that Carrie fans can't handle people saying anything bad about her but have no problem insulting other artists!
