Country music superstar and beloved entertainer, Dolly Parton, will perform her brand new single, "Together You And I," on "The Tonight Show" Friday, July 22. The single is the first release from her new album, Better Day, which hits stores Tuesday, June 28.
"Together You And I" was written by Dolly and is an uplifting song about love and life.
"Everyone seems to love it. It's got a beautiful melody. It is a very positive sounding song, and I love positive songs. I am kind of like a hopeless romantic; I believe that love can just last forever, or at least that it should," says Dolly. "Sometimes forever is not as long as we'd like to believe, but it's like, 'Together you and I can stop the rain and make the sun shine and just make it all happen as long as we're together.' So it can be a love song or it can be just about love in general. Just human love and love around the world."
Dolly will begin her world tour in Knoxville, Tenn. on July 17, and after completing her U.S. dates on August 3, she will head over to England, Ireland, Denmark and Sweden. In November, she will tour Australia. Currently, more concerts are being planned for the U.S. and Canada for 2012.
