"Go Home W U" is a song recorded by New Zealand-born Australian-American country artist Keith Urban featuring American country artist Lainey Wilson. Urban wrote the song with Breland, Sam Sumser, and Sean Small, and he co-produced it with the latter two. It is the third single to Australian radio from Urban's twelfth studio album High.

Background

Urban wrote "Go Home W U" with his three co-writers in 2020. He stated that the song started as a "late night drum loop," before he began playing the bass guitar and started playing a riff. Shortly thereafter, the four men wrote the chorus, and then the remainder of the song. Urban remarked that the song was not initially meant to be a duet, but when a friend suggested the idea, he thought that Lainey Wilson worked well with the "swagger and attitude" of it. Wilson called Urban "one of the best" and said that recording a song with him was a "notch on my belt I am very proud of".

The official music video for "Go Home W U" premiered on YouTube on May 3, 2024. The video includes footage from Urban and Wilson's live debut of the track from the stage of Nissan Stadium at the 2024 CMA Music Festival in Nashville, Tennessee.
