Renowned Nashville producer and composer Shane McAnnally created the slowed-down track.

This duet version, which is significantly different from Parton's original 1980 recording, substitutes a reflective, pop-influenced production for the upbeat, jovial rhythm.

The 1980 version was uplifting and anthemic, but this re-recording is sentimental and has a simple production.

"I was blown away when I heard what Shane had done with my song," Dolly Parton said.
