Amanda Shires has teamed up with her longtime friend and The Highwomen bandmate Maren Morris for an emotional new single, "Empty Cups."
"Now my hands are two empty cups / Maybe I was asking for a little too much," the pair sing in the new song. "To keep the newness from wearing off / For every start there's gonna be a stop."
"I recorded 'Empty Cups' after everyone left because I didn't want to accidentally cry or get a shaky voice in front of my friends," Shires said in a statement. "I asked Maren to sing on this one because our voices blend like sisters and because I knew that wherever my voice wavered, she'd be steady."
"Empty Cups" is the latest single from Shires' upcoming solo album Take It Like a Man, which is set to be released on July 29 via ATO Records.
