Carrie Underwood has rushed the first single off her latest album to YouTube, a day after an unfinished version of the tune, “Cowboy Casanova” leaked online, according to a Reuters report.

The track comes from the country singer’s third album Play On, which will be released by Arista Nashville November 3, a week before the singer co-hosts the Country Music Association Awards with Brad Paisley.

Underwood co-wrote “Cowboy Casanova” with Brett James, who penned her 2006 hit “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” and Mike Elizondo, who is best known for his work with hip-hop artists Eminem, Jay-Z and Dr. Dre.  Underwood also worked with some other unexpected collaborators on the album, including R&B heavyweight Ne-Yo and pop hitmakers Max Martin and Kara DioGuardi.

Underwood’s 2007 album Carnival Ride sold nearly 3 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, while her 2005 debut album sold over twice that amount at almost 7 million copies.

    @MusicVixen.. Mike Elizondo did not write songs for Eminem.. Jay-Z or Dre.. he is a music producer.. music producers make beats/music for any artist.. UGH…
