What works so well for this song is the loose, confident delivery style. It sounds like a day or three of hanging out in the studio, layering one-time takes into gorgeous tapestry of vocals. Then polishing it all up with contemporary effects.

Songwriters Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins knew they were onto something from those first two words: "Right now." But at first, they had a very different idea of which country artist they were writing for. They told the Story Behind the Song to Bart Herbison of Nashville Songwriters Association International.
CT: I thought the record was just amazing. We cut a good demo, but the singer we used on the demo was amazing, but a completely different type of voice. Basically, as soon as we heard it, with the fiddle, it felt new and fresh. We knew it was something special.
JK: For a long time. As a matter of fact, it started charting on Billboard while "Jesus, Take the Wheel" was out. Another single came out after that, then, "Before He Cheats" came out. It was the third single off the album. "Inside Your Heaven" had only been sent to Pop radio. The album came out during "Jesus, Take the Wheel" and "Before He Cheats" charted through all three of the singles.
JK: It was definitely creating a stir at the moment. They had some things lining up where they wanted "Before He Cheats" to be a certain moment in her career. There were awards shows coming up that they had planned for. So, they pushed them apart which turned out to be great for us. While it was still climbing the country charts, it started appearing at the bottom of the Top 40 charts and edging onto AC, the pop side of the label started pushing it elsewhere. It spent 5 weeks on country charts. It set fire to pop radio and AC radio as well. It was a perfect storm for us. It was her and the song. The song, or her by herself, might not have done that. But the two things together are magic.
CT: Absolutely. Same for Josh, we both started doing outside of country co-writes. I started going to L.A. until I stopped going to L.A. I started writing with some rock bands. No matter what genre of music I was writing, they all knew that song.

Eurovision Song Contest singers are meant to perform live with backing track. But is it cheating for the backing track to have a double or multiples of the lead? Or is it cheating for live backing singers to double the lead? Watch this video and listen for yourself.
It depends what you count as cheating. Any Formula 1 team boss will tell you that it isn't cheating if you stick within the rules. But if you examine the rules under microscopic detail you will probably find a loophole that you can exploit and gift a world championship to a mediocre driver.
It's the Norwegian entry for the 2021 contest, 'Fallen Angel' performed by TIX. If I heard this and I had been told it was a studio recording, one of my thoughts would be, how amazing it is that a fairly weak singer can sound so good with double tracking.
So how many multiples should there be? The trick is to find the number that suits the singer best, without it sounding like a choir. Just keep going until you hit gold. You can of course mix and process the double or multiples any way you like to get the best effect. Keeping them just under the lead can work well.
"The Backing track in question shall not contain (i) Lead Vocals, (ii) Lead Dubs and/or (iii) any other vocals that would have the effect of, or aim at, replacing or unduly assisting the Lead Vocal(s) during the live performance on stage."
I thought it might be interesting to compare the TV audio with the same song on Eurovision's YouTube channel. This is the same song with the same staging, but it's clearly a different video recording. But the audio will be from the original music recording session, from which the backing track is extracted for the competition.
Recording the vocal in studio conditions, they would benefit from a studio mic, studio preamp, multiple takes comped together, all the processing and effects they need, and of course don't forget Auto-Tune!
Hey this is all speculation, and I just made it up inside my head. But it's an interesting listen, and an interesting perspective to compare what I believe is the studio vocal recording with the live version.

To battle with Lou using Easy Mode notes, try the following. When the battle with Lou begins (on Expert Mode), strum without holding any frets down. When you lose, select the Tutorial option at the Game Over menu. Do the Guitar Battle Tutorial and play through it in its entirety. After the "Lesson Complete" message appears on-screen and the next fret board appears, pause the game and exit. This will bring you back to the Lessons menu.
From here, press the red button, which will bring you back to the list of songs. The battle with Lou should be highlighted. Choose the song, and Lou's note chart will be set to Easy Mode now. Your note chart will still be in Expert Mode, but Lou's will be in easy mode.
Chris Tompkins: At the time, Gretchen Wilson was going in to record. After her first record, everybody wanted to have a song on that second record, and I was trying to think of edgy stuff. I never would've thought that Carrie Underwood would record it! I went into my office that morning and began typing lyrics ... not even picking up a guitar or a pen or anything ... and I typed up that first verse. I'd just moved into my new house, and Josh had come over, and we were just looking for ideas. I played him what I'd typed earlier. And without even talking about it, Josh just sang that chorus line, 'Maybe next time, he'll think before he cheats ...' So we just started talking about it from there, how to match that first verse, and started thinking of some quirky stuff like that. And like good songs always do, the song kind of wrote itself from there. Usually a song takes a couple of writing sessions, four or five hours each -- and talking and goofing off, having coffee. But this was such a quick write. It took about two hours. It was the first song I wrote in my new house!
Josh Kear: Chris had called me halfway through a day I actually had off and said he had a piece of something and wanted me to come over. So I dropped what I was doing and went over. He played me those first few lines, 'Right now, he's prob'ly slow dancing with a bleach-blonde tramp ...' And when he hit the line 'She can't shoot whiskey,' I was completely hooked! Funny thing is, I used to always say, the first woman that ever gets really pissed at me and is willing to break my car windows and fill my car up with wet concrete is the one I would marry! I used to joke about that for years, and it's nothing more than a joke! But when we were writing this song, I thought, 'Wow! If she knew this was going on inside the bar -- which was what we already had laid out in that first verse -- how would she react to that?' And that's when we thought, let's actually let her get pissed! And the chorus is every bit of that. It's a lot of stuff that most people would say you can't put in a song, but we did it anyway.
When we were writing it, we were actually trying to keep it humorous ... but when Carrie got hold of it, she just did it so well and really made it her own. We expected it would be a little more lighthearted ... but when we heard it, we thought, wow, she really drove it home! We couldn't be more grateful to Carrie -- for just wailin'!
