Carrie Underwood has long been open about her love for heavy music, and now she's got a song with one of nu-metal's biggest bands. The country music superstar and California rockers Papa Roach just put out a remix track together: "Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)." The song's original version is featured on Papa Roach's 2022 album, Ego Trip.

The song is a charity single for the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention, and all proceeds from the song will go toward the non-profit organization. Speaking to Good Morning America about the song, Underwood explained that "it's a cause that's very near and dear to Papa Roach and to Jacoby Shaddix, who is the main vocalist." Click here to listen to the remixed version of "Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)" on YouTube.
