Cassadee Pope’s latest single, “Think of You,” is a duet with Chris Young, and it turns out she ended up on the song because she happened to be singing with Chris at an event at the right time. Cassadee explains, “Chris and I performed at a acoustic show in Miami for a radio station and we did it kind of a guitar pool style where we were both on stage at the same time and he just came up to me after the show and said, ‘I think that you’d be great for this duet that I have on my album. So, what do you think?’ And immediately I said yes ‘cause I love him and I love his voice and his songs.”
Since then, the song has flown up the charts, and it looks like “Think of You” could become Cassadee’s first number one song of her career.

So, what do you think?’ And immediately I said yes ‘cause I love him and I love his voice and his songs. Then, get in the studio, fast forward to now, we’ve got a top ten single and it’s moving quickly, so it’s pretty crazy.”
