The former American Idol winner’s career took off after winning the show’s competition back in 2005, and has since made the switch from pop to country music.
Jett, 60, and Underwood have previously collaborated once before for Underwood’s opening theme of NBC’s Sunday Night Football, which was a new spin on Jett’s 1988 hit “I Hate Myself For Loving You.”
Jett’s music has seen a resurrection in popularity over the years, with former UFC champion and current WWE star Ronda Rousey using “Bad Reputation” for her walkout music.
Jett also just performed with the re-formed Bikini Kill in Brooklyn last week.
