Garth Brooks shared a hopeful new song, “We Belong Together,” on June 15.

Technically, Good Morning America host Robin Roberts shared the new song via Facebook. After Garth appeared on Good Morning America last week, he sent the song to Robin on Sunday with the option for her to “decide what you want to do with it.”

Of course, Robin shared the song with the world via her social channels on June 15.

“Me and Robin go way, way back,” says Garth. “She always asks about the music. Somebody’s got to hear it first, so I just asked her, ‘Would you like to be the first one to hear the new thing?’ And she was kinda caught off-guard. So, I sent it to her Sunday . . . all day Sunday, all day Monday she was texting back and forth with me . . . and I guess today she decided she was gonna share it with the world. It was totally up to her.”
