The North Carolina megastar made the revelation during his recent iHeartCountry Gettin’ Old release party.
‘Unlive’ is due to feature on the Tennessee native's upcoming album, Whitsitt Chapel.
Wesley Godwin penned the heartwarming new track with Zach McCord.
The song originally appeared on Ferrell's much-loved 2021 album, Long Time Coming.
Although McCollum sticks to his heartbroken script, the new track explores a softer, more intricate sound than other recent singles.
The partnership will revolve around the reconstruction and revamping of The Wildhorse Saloon.
