Fans are calling for a new musician collaboration after watching Keith Urban pull off an impromptu cover of one of this year’s most successful pop songs.

Urban, 56, delivered the unexpected performance during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, Sept. 24. At one point during the show, the “Somebody Like You” singer pulled out a banjo guitar—also called a ganjo—and began strumming and singing Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso.”

Urban’s twangy spin on the 25-year-old singer’s pop hit and his modified lyrics—“I’m working late ’cause I’m a banjo player / I can’t relate to people who love Slayer”—had fans raving over the performance when the late night show posted a video clip of it on social media.

“The man can do literally anything 💃🏼🎶❤️… such a talent!!” one TikTok user commented, as another called Urban “such an underrated musician.”
