Powerhouse artists Lee Kernaghan and his wife Robby X have just released the new single from Kernaghan's album, Backroad Nation.
And, they want the public's help to make the video extra special.
"We're making a brand new music video for our new song Where I Wanna Be and we would love for you to be in it," Kernaghan said.
"What you've got to do is sing along to the track from where you wanna be."
Robby and Lee Kernaghan met 17 years ago when they were booked to do the same gig.
At that stage Robby didn't know much about country music, but within weeks Kernaghan had her in his band on the road.
The pair have worked closely together over the years and have two sons.
Robby stepped into the spotlight with the release of her debut long-play Obsession, and said fans can be anywhere they want for the video.
"It could be at the beach, in the backyard, on your tractor, in your pool," she said.
It was love at first sight back then and nothing's changed, she's still where I wanna be.
- Lee Kernaghan
The person who makes the clip that's chosen will win tickets to see Kernaghan live on his Backroad Nation tour stop off at Tamworth Country Music Festival 2020.
"One of the big highlights of making Backroad Nation was recording and writing Where I Wanna Be with Robby," he said.
"Robby comes from a pop and R&B musical background and I'm about as country as it gets, so it was kind of like two worlds colliding on this song - which is pretty well what happened when we met 22 years ago.
"It was love at first sight back then and nothing's changed, she's still where I wanna be."

The couple have asked fans to send their own videos of where they wanna be to put together the official video clip for the single.
The song is written by Kernaghan and Robby X with the creative input of Lindsay Rimes, Garth Porter, Colin Buchanan and The Wolfe Brothers' Nick Wolfe.
Kernaghan will perform at Tamworth Country Music Festival 2020 with his Backroad Nation tor.
Fans can catch him at TRECC on January 23 at 8:15pm, tickets are on sale now.
A country boy himself, Kernaghan grew up near Albury and first came to Tamworth as a 13-year-old.
