BMI hosted Multi-platinum-selling artist Warner Music Nashville/COJO Records’ Cody Johnson and eight-time GRAMMY award-winning multi-hyphenate Carrie Underwood in its creative lobby on Thursday, August 21, to celebrate their No. One hit “I’m Gonna Love You.” The pair were joined by BMI songwriters Kelly Archer (fifth No. One), Travis Denning (second No. One) and Chris Stevens (second No. One) along with producer Trent Willmon. The melodious duet is the lead single from Johnson’s Leather Deluxe Edition album and serves as his fourth consecutive No. One hit and marks Underwood’s 29th career chart-topper.

Emceed by BMI’s Leslie Roberts, the No. One celebration for “I’m Gonna Love You” shed light on the authentic storytelling and lyrical artistry behind the track, which was written nine years ago this month. Sponsored by Studio Bank, Ron Cox made a special donation presentation on behalf of Johnson, Underwood and the songwriters in support of the Different Day Foundation, a charity founded by Cody and his wife Brandi which serves as a beacon of hope for women survivors seeking recovery and healing from prostitution, trafficking, and addiction.
