MacKenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge have finally confirmed the release date for their much-anticipated duet, Happy Ever After You. The heartfelt, acoustic ballad marks the first song the husband-and-wife duo has written together in ten years, and it will be available to fans on January 10, 2025. Ahead of its official release, the track is already available for pre-save.
Despite initial speculation that the couple might launch a joint artist project under a new name, Happy Ever After You will be released as a collaborative single rather than a full album. The song blends Porter’s mainstream, pop-infused country style with Etheridge’s folk and indie influences, creating a raw, intimate sound that draws from both of their musical worlds. The result is a stunning duet that showcases the artists’ personal connection, which is further deepened by their marriage and shared experience of raising a newborn.
The song has already captured the attention of both fans and fellow musicians. Country star Luke Combs praised the track, calling it “really damn good,” while Brandi Carlile added, “This is rad.” Fellow artists like ERNEST, Ella Langley, Ashley Cooke, and Jordan Davis also joined in the chorus of support, urging the duo to release the song as soon as possible.
With the track’s release now just around the corner, fans are eagerly awaiting what comes next for Porter and Etheridge. After their touching rendition of White Christmas earlier this month, many wonder if this duet is just the beginning of a larger collaboration between the two. For now, Happy Ever After You promises to be a beautiful new chapter for this talented duo.
