Not to be outdone in terms of modesty, Urban followed up Lambert's speech by claiming that Lambert had in fact played a major role in the song's success.
"Miranda's face and voice were the first things that popped into my mind," explained Urban, recalling how he'd felt after first reading the lyrics. He also appreciated that Lambert came in to perform with him in the studio instead of recording her part separately.
Even with Lambert's absence, Urban and the writers performed an acoustic version of the song at the close of the event.
We Were Us is a track off Urban's 2013 album Fuse. Lambert is still touring for her new album Platinum, which came out June 3.
