"Gonna" is a song recorded by the American country music artist Blake Shelton. It was released to radio on August 3, 2015, as the fourth and final single from his ninth studio album, Bringing Back the Sunshine.[1] The song was written by Luke Laird and Craig Wiseman. No official music video was made for the song.
Laird and Wiseman, who previously wrote Shelton's 2009 single "Hillbilly Bone", told Nash Country Weekly magazine that they did not have a song idea when they met during a songwriting session. Laird began beatboxing, providing Wiseman with a "structure" to which he began adding lyrics. Laird said that "We just wanted to write something that was fun for us to play", while praising Wiseman's "quirky lyrics".[2] Thematically, the song is about a man professing his intent to start a relationship with a woman, basing the hook around the word "gonna". Nash Country Weekly described the song as a "mid-tempo with a slight reggae influence" plus "a faint vocal beatbox" and "a simple, memorable lead guitar riff that plays again before each verse".[3]
