Keith Urban is opening up about his ex-girlfriend’s reaction to his iconic 2002 song, Somebody Like You. During his appearance on Q with Tom Power, the musician claimed that he was “struggling a lot” while penning the lyrics of his song. The singer confessed that he composed a dummy song and performed it before his former partner. However, he revealed that he wasn’t sure what he was doing. 

After hearing the song, Urban’s ex-girlfriend was clearly not impressed, as she called the former an a**hole. He revealed, “She hears it as a love song, and it finishes, and she just looks at me; she goes, ‘You’re a f-----g hypocrite,’ and then walks out of the room.”

The Let It Roll crooner further added, “She’s like, ‘You don’t want to love anyone; you’re just an a--hole.’ And she wasn’t wrong. It wasn’t the guy I was; it was the guy I wished I could be.”

Further in his conversation with the podcast host, the One Too Many singer said, “I wasn’t optimistic. I wasn’t happy, joyous, and excited. I wanted to be that, so I would write songs to make me feel like that.”
