The audio isn't available to post just yet but you can hear it on most iHeartMedia stations at the top of every hour (WSIX played it about 7 minutes after 5:00 pm ET). I'm assuming it'll be out to iTunes/Spotify later tonight.
There's a lot of P!nk vocals on this. I need to listen to it again but it's definitely better than "Noise."

Just heard it on WPGB. I agree with you sabre14 that was better than "Noise". I grew to like "Noise" a lot but it took me a few listens. This one grabs you right away. There is definitely a lot of P!nk vocals, but I think their voices work well together. The guitar work is very Big Revival esk which is a good thing. Overall, the song is kind of like a sonic extension of something from Big Revival thus it's a Cosmic Hallelujah! Haha. It's not a whole new musical direction like "Noise" was. A lot of Kenny's romantic songs are slow but this is a different romantic song for him in that it's very upbeat. It's in the key of C major for all you musically inclined people haha.

I really like both Kenny and Pink, but I'm not really feeling this on first listen... A bit bland. It's definitely better than "Noise", but I feel his collaborations with Grace Potter where much stronger.

You can listen to it as much as you want here. Definitely the best of the recent cross-genre collaborations. Pink is one of the finest vocalists of the current generation across any genre (willing to debate this with anyone; I'll win) so I wasn't afraid of her sounding weird on this, but I was concerned with her and Kenny Chesney's vocals not blending very well. Luckily, that wasn't the case, and the song isn't bad at all, either. I usually can't stand Kenny Chesney, but I'm into this. (Probably because of Pink.)

Had to listen more than once so the song could grow on me lol let's see how it's gonna be on the charts. For sure it's better than Noise.

I agree, I like the song and I think Pink sounds great but I didn't think their voices blended together well at all. I also think Kenny's voice sounds a little strained, but this is definitely much better than "Noise".

I actually really like this. Not really big on Kenny or any of his music, but P!nk really makes this song good!

This isn't bad, but it isn't really legendary at the same time. It doesn't sound that country, especially during the chorus where P!nk turns it into a Hot AC song. I honestly don't think this will be that big or be Kenny's salvation for this album cycle. This just seems too familiar to me, almost as if I've heard this before. I think it will be a safe hit, but I don't see this being as popular as "Different For Girls", another combined genre feature.

Nearly identical drum backing as "Different for Girls."
Same vocal effects in the verses as in "Noise."
Will radio play this song heavy considering it legitimately sounds like Pink is singing alone in the chorus?

This is pretty good, mostly because it has A LOT of P!nk on it; I love that the chorus is basically all P!nk, so that's definitely the highlight of the song for me, lol. Still have to put up with hearing Kenny Chesney so I'll probably never love it, but I'll definitely be able to tolerate this one on the radio, which is something I can say for very few of his songs. But yeah, P!nk sounds great on this and she was definitely an excellent choice for it vocally. I can see this doing really well and should easily outperform "Noise."

I imagine a large portion of these digital purchases are from P!nk's strong fan club, so I think that is inflating the digital sales. The real testament will be once the first week dies down and this is only visible on country radio.

Wow, I absolutely love this. This is already my favorite Chesney single since "El Cerrito Place". At first I was surprised that they gave the chorus solely to P!nk, but after listening to the song several times, it just really works. Kenny sounds great on the verses, P!nk sounds great on the chorus, and then they sound great together on the final chorus. Her background vocals also harmonize very well with his.
I think this will be a really big hit and get Kenny back to #1. I'm a little surprised that they left the lyric "got a little higher than we probably should" in for radio, though. Lyrics like "high on loving you" or "drunk on you, high on summertime" are more acceptable because they aren't explicit references to drugs -- they merely play on the "high on" phrase. This is different though, but hopefully it's not an issue for programmers. I just really like the lyrics of this song (other than that line, although it doesn't bug me either), and the production is great too. This song just has a really great feel to it.
"Noise" was my least favorite Chesney single in years, probably going back to "I'm Alive" or the annoying "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven". I appreciated that Kenny was trying to cover new ground with "Noise". The theme and topic of the song was certainly interesting and fairly unique, but the song felt disjointed and it just didn't flow well at all and I found myself changing the station when it came on the radio. I'm not surprised that "Noise" was one of Chesney's least successful radio songs in a while. I don't think he'll have that problem with "Setting The World On Fire", though. This sounds like a hit to me.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to think this but first El Cerrito Place and now La Cienega Boulevard. Kenny dropping those street names haha. The first thing I thought of when I heard "La Cienega Boulevard" was "El Cerrito Place". Upon further research and as I expected, both are streets in the same area. Both are in the Los Angeles area.

Yep, I definitely thought of "El Cerrito Place" when I heard him sing "La Cienega Boulevard". (I didn't do the research like you did though!) "El Cerrito Place" and "Setting The World On Fire" are definitely different songs (the first is about a guy who's desperate to track down his lover, the second is about a young couple that's still together...and of course the production on the two songs is vastly different) but they both evoke a similar feeling in me. I like "El Cerrito Place" better, but "Setting The World On Fire" is a great song, too.

I love this. Sure, it's plain but it works. This is going to sound great on the radio. Loving that P!nk is getting her foot in the door of country music as well - would love a full country album from her at some point.

Don't forget Mulholland Drive from "You & Tequila."

I am pleasantly surprised by this song and enjoyed it a lot! Been a fan of Pink since she first game out and saw her back when she opened up for NSYNC. Crazy to see how far she's come as a person and artist. I do enjoy a good bit of Kenny's tracks and have seen him in concert countless time. But yes, I really enjoyed this song a lot, so much more than I expected to.

This is great! My favorite Kenny single... maybe ever? I'm not sure, but definitely his best single in a looooong while for me!
The harmonies are great!!! P!nk and Kenny's vocals blend really well!

IMO, this is PINK's song...not Kenny's. She owns the song. It's still kind of ho-hum though.
