Keith Urban got the inspiration for "The Fighter" -- his track with Carrie Underwood -- when he heard Charlie Puth and Meghan Trainor's duet "Marvin Gaye" while riding in an Uber car in London.

"I thought I'd love to write a duet that is more of the girl asking something and the guy answering,” he told Billboard.
