Miranda Lambert is a country music powerhouse, but now the Texas native is teaming up with Latin star Enrique Iglesias for a very unexpected duet. Miranda and Enrique are releasing a brand-new song, “Space in My Heart,” on February 22. The song will be featured on Enrique’s album, Final (Vol. 2), which drops on March 29.
The global icon has announced that this will, in fact, be his final album. Enrique told Today, “I’ve been working on this album for quite a bunch of years. And for me it was always like I said, my final album… this is it. I don’t think — no, I know, I won’t be doing any more albums.” Miranda shared a clip of the duet, complete with heartfelt vocals accompanied by an acoustic guitar, with the message, “Texas meets Spain! 🤠 Can’t wait for y’all to hear this one.” Fans jumped to the comments section to share their excitement for the new music.
“Love it!! Can’t wait for the full version ❤🙌” “Country and Pop???….wow!!!….what a magnificent amalgamation…can’t wait for more!!!!”
“Sounds heartbreakingly beautiful” “Unexpected collab!! I can’t wait to hear the full song!!❤” “😱surprising + shocking 🥺😭💘 loved it!!!💌💯”
In the clip, Miranda and Enrique sing, “You don’t love me yet, but I know you will, if you only felt half of what I feel. If you ever go, I will never change. There’s a space in my heart, and it’s just your shape.” We can’t wait to hear the rest of the song.

Randall and Lambert have long been friends and music industry allies, and they even collaborated on the 2021 album The Marfa Tapes. Now, they’ll be partnering to sign and develop all of the artists on the roster for Big Loud Texas. “As a teenager chasing my dreams in the honky-tonks of Texas, Nashville seemed so far away,” Lambert said in a press release.
“Every time I’m back home I get to hear the incredible talent our state produces, and I feel a responsibility to help get more of those Texas voices heard. I’m really excited to team up with my buddy Jon Randall and Big Loud to do just that. Get ready, y’all—we’re bringing even more Texas to town!”
Singer-songwriter Randall, who will act as president of Big Loud Texas, added that he feels “very blessed to share this full circle moment with one of my best pals, Miranda Lambert, and help some other dreamers chase their song around the world.” The artists who join Big Loud Texas will be in great hands with Lambert and Randall, of course, and they’ll be in terrific company as part of Big Loud Records. Since the label’s launch in 2015, they’ve made moves up the Billboard charts with artists like Morgan Wallen, Lauren Alaina, Dallas Smith, Maggie Rose, and many more.
Lambert’s followers are already smitten, chiming in with comments like:
“Love this! We have so many amazing artists in Texas! So happy to see this!!!” “Cmon!!! Love this Miranda! Championing the next storytellers❤️”
“This is so amazing!! Creative freedom + good ole texas music scene. we’re ready for it” “AYYY YOOOO — music to my honkytonk lovin’ ears 🤠”
Others entered the conversation to tag their friends who they think are worthy of joining the Big Loud Texas family. We can’t wait to see who gets a hat tip from this talented duo!
