If you've ever wanted to watch Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton make puppy dog eyes at each other for nearly four minutes straight, you're in luck.

The couple and Voice judges debuted their new single, "Go Ahead and Break My Heart," on the singing show Monday night. It's more Shelton than Stefani, a romantic country ballad with ample guitars (at least three on stage!) and a Southern twang.

The new tune also has apparently autobiographical lyrics about falling in love with someone when you're trying to get over someone else. 

"I never ever meant to get so into you," the song goes. "Thought I was using you just to get me through/You know I’m broken I don’t trust anyone/Last thing I needed was to fall in love."

The pair started dating late last year, after both got out of longterm marriages. Shelton was previously married to country singer Miranda Lambert, while Stefani was married to Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale.
