Carin Le\u00f3n and Kacey Musgraves don\u2019t need to speak the same language to tell a cross-cultural love story. On Friday, the Mexican star and country queen released \u201cLost in Translation,\u201d a norte\u00f1o-influenced ranchera track in English and Spanish on which the pair sing about a love that defeats language barriers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis really cute idea came about these people meeting and not being able to speak the same language, but love language and body language is universal and you don\u2019t really need words for that,\u201d said Musgraves of the song.<\/p>\n
More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Musgraves and Le\u00f3n said they first met in Nashville, and to warm up their vocals, sang along to the classic duet by Juan Gabriel and Roc\u00edo D\u00farcal, \u201cFue Un Placer Conocerte.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a big surprise for me that it was one of my favorite songs\u2026and she knew all the words,\u201d Le\u00f3n said. Musgraves and Le\u00f3n co-wrote the song alongside Amy Allen and Shane McAnally, and had Julian Bunetta produce the song with Matt Zara. The stars shared a video of them writing and recording at the RCA Studio in Nashville.<\/p>\n Musgraves, who\u2019s from Texas, has shown love to the Mexican community for years, and even shared videos of herself dancing to cumbias and banda songs at a Mexican music bar in Nashville with Brothers Osborne member TJ\u2019s partner Abi Ventura, who\u2019s from Mexico.<\/p>\n \u201cGrowing up singing traditional country and western music,\u201d Musgraves said. \u201cI\u2019ve always loved exploring the borders of Country and where it blends with other styles like Norte\u00f1o and some regional Mexican sounds that I heard a lot of in Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n Le\u00f3n added that he\u2019s \u201cso blessed\u201d to work with Musgraves, who added: \u201cEven though we speak different languages, we\u2019re all the same, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.

\u201cI learned it years ago and it\u2019s just stuck in my mind since then,\u201d Musgraves added. \u201cI love it. It\u2019s iconic.\u201d<\/p>\n
