About the song
“Where That Came From” is a poignant and powerful ballad that marks a significant milestone in the career of country music legend Randy Travis. Written by Scotty Emerick and John Scott Sherrill, the song was recorded using artificial intelligence software to recreate Travis’ vocals, a remarkable feat considering the singer’s health struggles over the past decade. In 2013, Travis suffered a series of strokes and health issues that left him unable to sing, a devastating blow to an artist known for his iconic voice and enduring hits.
Despite the challenges he faced, Travis has made sporadic onstage appearances, and his determination to reclaim his voice has inspired a new generation of country music fans. The release of “Where That Came From” is a testament to the power of technology and the human spirit, as Travis’ longtime producer Kyle Lehning worked with AI models to create a vocal track from an initial recording done by vocalist James Dupré. The result is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Travis’ signature twang and emotional delivery.
The song’s backstory is just as compelling as the music itself. Travis’ health issues were so severe that he was given a one percent chance of survival, and he underwent multiple surgeries and therapies to regain his mobility and speech. The fact that he has made a remarkable recovery is a testament to his strength and resilience, and the release of “Where That Came From” is a celebration of his perseverance and dedication to his craft. With its powerful vocals and poignant lyrics, this song is a must-listen for country music fans and anyone who has ever been touched by Travis’ music.

Lyrics
She had eyes like diamonds
And they caught the light
Oh, but they were dark and deeper
Than the night
And when she’d smile
Out came the sun
And there ain’t no more where that came from
She had a dress that swayed
All around her knees
And a voice as soft
As a summer breeze
A touch that told me
I was the one
And there ain’t no more where that came from
I must have said to myself
There might be somebody else out there somewhere
I must have said to myself, it’s a great big world
Girls are everywhere
Oh, but now I know
There was only one
And there ain’t no more where that came from
And it ain’t like I ain’t been trying
To find someone
There just ain’t no more where that came from
Oh, where that came from
