Before He Cheats - Carrie Underwood - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Carrie Underwood was riding high on the wings of her American Idol success when she dropped empowering breakup anthem "Before He Cheats" in 2006. Written by Chris Tompkins and Josh Kear, "Before He Cheats" became a massive crossover hit, bringing country to mainstream pop. It was released as the third single from Carrie Underwood's debut studio album, Some Hearts (2005) and tells the story of a woman enacting her revenge on her unfaithful lover. She's not messing around either: "I dug my key into the side / Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive / Carved my name into his leather seats / I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights / Slashed a hole in all four tires / Maybe next time, he'll think before he cheats." "Before He Cheats" gave Carrie Underwood a Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance, with the song's writers also winning the Grammy Award for Best Country Song.
