Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have captured hearts as one of music’s most beloved couples. But on their wedding day, Blake took his love for Gwen to another level — he wrote and performed a song just for her. Titled “We Can Reach the Stars,” this touching ballad was first shared during their vows on July 3, 2021, creating a memory that left not a dry eye in the room.
How “We Can Reach the Stars” Came to Life
Instead of reading traditional vows, Blake decided to give Gwen something truly personal — a song that told their story. Wanting it to be perfect, he teamed up with hit songwriter Craig Wiseman. Together, they wrote “We Can Reach the Stars” — a song straight from Blake’s heart.
“I didn’t want to just speak my vows,” Blake later shared in an interview. “I wanted to give Gwen something that would last forever — something that was only for her.”
That first performance was part of their emotional wedding ceremony on Blake’s Oklahoma ranch. Fans later got to hear it too, when the song was officially released on November 5, 2021, as part of the deluxe edition of Blake’s Body Language album.
Why This Song Means So Much
“We Can Reach the Stars” is more than a love song. It’s Blake’s promise to Gwen — a vow set to music. The lyrics tell a story of love, trust, and believing that together, two people can overcome anything. The song reflects their real-life journey: meeting at a difficult time, finding comfort in each other, and slowly building a bond that turned into lasting love.
This wasn’t just a performance — it was Blake sharing his heart with Gwen in the most honest way. And that’s what makes the song so special.
Where You Can Listen
“We Can Reach the Stars” is available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and as part of the Body Language Deluxe album. If you haven’t heard it yet, it’s a must-listen for anyone who believes in true love.
A Quick Look at Their Love Story
Blake and Gwen met in 2014 as coaches on The Voice. Both were going through painful divorces — Blake from Miranda Lambert and Gwen from Gavin Rossdale. They leaned on each other as friends, and that friendship blossomed into love. They went public as a couple in 2015, got engaged in October 2020, and married in a small, beautiful ceremony in July 2021, with The Voice host Carson Daly officiating.
Final Thoughts
“We Can Reach the Stars” is a reminder that love can heal and inspire. It’s Blake’s gift to Gwen — a song full of real emotion, promises, and hope. And it proves that even country’s biggest stars have a soft, poetic side when it comes to matters of the heart.
