Billboard reports the 13-track project, due out Nov. 1, features one song, "Wild Fire Love," co-written by Ed Sheeran.
"Ed and I have been talking about writing for a while and just never got to do it," lead singer Darius Rucker tells Billboard. "Finally, I flew over to England and we're sitting around writing a couple of songs and we get this really great melody and I'm freaking out."
