A collaboration between Kelsea Ballerini and the Chainsmokers is coming Tuesday (Sept. 18), but blame a teaser leak on the dog.

“Bark ... the boys are in Denver but left their laptop behind. Idiots,” a post on the Chainsmokers' Instagram page reads. In the clip, a golden retriever named Fido can be seen climbing up on a chair to reach a laptop and ultimately pressing play on the new song, called "This Feeling."

Fully enjoying it, he even clapped his paws along to the beat of the song, which features country's Ballerini singing.

Maybe don't be too harsh on the dog. Ballerini and the Chainsmokers have shared a lot of the details of this collaboration ahead of its release — they've been hinting it was coming for two years!

It's not the first time that the Chainsmokers have blended with country waters. Just last year, they collaborated with Florida Georgia Line on the electro-pop song “Last Day Alive,” which was featured on their album Memories … Do Not Open.

The news of the collaboration comes at an exciting time in Ballerini’s personal and professional life. Not only will she soon be joining The Voice as a fifth coach, but she also recently announced her tour plans for 2019, which include a stint out on the road with pop's Kelly Clarkson.

These Country Crossovers Were More Forgettable
