“The power, once you got into it, I really did like it,” McEntire said. “Then I saw them turning around — I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, now what am I going to have to do?’ But I would really love to have you on Team Reba.”

Dan + Shay complimented his approach to the song, and said they couldn’t “just give it to Reba.”
