[Mo Nighean Donn]

Just think of it as a Christmas present from Carrie!

[Mo Nighean Donn]

The only song on Carrie Underwood's Greatest Hits: Decade #1 album that fans have not yet heard is "Little Toy Guns," which sounds like it could be the prequel to her 2012 hit, "Blown Away." Though she's keeping it under lock and key until her new compilation's December 9th release date, the pregnant star hints that the new tune drives home a message about how not to raise a child. "There's a little girl and she hears her parents fighting, as unfortunately a lot of kids do," she says of the lyrics (as reported by The Country Vibe). "So it's basically her saying, 'I wish their words weren't real. I wish they were like little toy guns and they didn't hurt you.'" Tearjerking lyrics, but with an uptempo melody, Underwood reveals, also explaining that she was inspired by observing children she knows who are dramatically affected by their parents fighting. The country superstar penned the new tune with Chris DeStefano, also her co-writer on "Something in the Water" and "Good Girl," and Hillary Lindsey, whose long list of Underwood songs include "Last Name," "Two Black Cadillacs" and "Jesus, Take the Wheel." "Little Toy Guns" is one of two brand-new songs on Greatest Hits: Decade #1, following Underwood's current single, "Something in the Water." Aside from platinum-selling hits such as "Before He Cheats" and "Good Girl," the album also includes never-before-heard writing session worktapes of three songs and a duet with Vince Gill on the classic hymn, "How Great Thou Art," recorded at the ACM Presents: Girls' Night Out show in 2011. See the full track list for both discs in the compilation below. Underwood, due with a boy in the spring, will perform at the December 15th American Country Countdown Awards in Nashville.

Getting so close to the albums release I can't wait to hear the new song

["You'reMyLittleSnowAngel"]

Ooo tracklisting and info, thanks Carmen!

Oh wow, serious topic for Little Toy Guns, looking forward to hearing how it sounds.

Love that How Great Thou Art is on there.

That's a really cool idea to put writing session worktapes on there! So intrigued to hear those.

Same here! I honestly didn't think it would be!

The new song is probably going to make me cry. Working in childcare for years, I've seen so many kids deal with their parents fighting & divorcing, and it puts a huge toll on them. It'll be real emotional, I'm sure.

Getting closer and closer to its release

10 more days!

[mint chip]

woo hoo. awesome

[Mo Nighean Donn]

Bring it on!

I could probably look this up myself but thought I would post here instead . Does anyone know what the Australian release date (presuming there is one) is? I am also hoping that the tracks will be made available separately on iTunes and not that you have to buy the whole album to get the new and special tracks.

I found this link when I googled it, but not sure how accurate it is. If it is true you will have access to it in a couple days!

Thank you for looking it up, I hope that link is right. Looking at one of the stores here and iTunes they say December 12 . After the US makes more sense but that is still over a week away.

Your welcome. I hope it is sooner then you think. That is really weird that some sites say different dates then Itunes, I can understand why you are so confused!
