Lambert said she did so after being asked by Witherspoon to contribute a track for the upcoming comedy, "Hot Pursuit."

Lambert said, "Reese texted me and told me about the movie and wanted me to write something or sing or both. I got inspired. I love Reese and Sofia (Vergara). It was a bit of a 'Thelma and Louise' theme, and that's totally up my alley. It is really so fun to be part of it."

"It was the first time I wrote a song specifically for a movie, so it was a different experience for me."

Lambert penned wrote the song with frequent collaborators Natalie Hemby and Nicolle Galyon. The notes from Witherspoon were that she wanted to have a "Southern and a Latin flavor" represented in the song.

Lambert's recording of "Two of a Crime" will be available at iTunes on April 28th. The film is slated to open May 8.

Having just wrapped her Certified Platinum Tour, Miranda is looking forward to performing for her fans at the Stagecoach Festival on Saturday, April 25th in Indio, Cal.

(Come to think of it, such old school values as these may in fact be revolutionary around Nashville). Lambert vocalizes a bit like a little girl at ...
CD review - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Even though it sounds like a cliche from the big book of country songwriting, the truth is that, when the timing's right, a loser can end up being the biggest winner of all. Today's object lesson comes from Miranda Lambert and her sophomore album, the follow-up to her 2005 near-platinum debut, "Kerosene." Imagine for a moment if the then-19-year-old had actually taken the crown in 2003's Nashville Star and then been forced into the studio within weeks to be primped and ...
