BINARY STARS –
April 18, 2022 – Kidman was the inspiration for his song “Thank You” from his 2009 album Defying Gravity. The song, which Urban wrote with Rick Nowels, includes the lyrics, “I thank you for my heart, I thank you for my life/ And I thank God for grace and mercy / And that you became my wife.” He noted that his family was one of the reasons he knew he had to make a change.
“But I had to find a different way to be in the world,” he added. “I’m glad it didn’t change anything about my music. I wrote plenty of hit songs while drunk. I wrote plenty sober. I feel lucky it hasn’t defined my creativity.”
In June 2021, Urban and Kidman celebrated their 15th anniversary, with Urban sharing a photo of the couple hugging each other in front of a Christmas tree. Urban’s caption of the photo echoes the sentiment found in “Thank You.”
