Blake Shelton admitted he was taken aback when one of his biggest hits climbed to No. 1 on the charts. Shelton shared that he initially doubted whether the song would even get much airplay, let alone reach the top.
The two tracks that surprised Shelton the most were “Who Are You When I’m Not Looking,” a 2010 R&B-inspired ballad that required a more serious tone from the usually playful singer, and a hit that many fans associate as quintessential Shelton.
The second song, which has become one of Shelton’s signature hits, was noted as a precursor to his latest single, “Texas.” It’s clear Shelton’s unexpected success with these tracks helped shape his musical journey, leaving him grateful for the connection he’s made with his audience.
