Writing and composition [edit]

Afterwards Underwood's Play On Tour wrapped in Dec 2010, she started to work on her 4th studio album, which was then untitled. Sony Music Nashville chairman/CEO Gary Overton said that the singer "took about a year to compile and record the songs."[2] Songwriters Chris Tompkins and Josh Kear, who previously wrote "Before He Cheats" for Underwood'due south debut album, Some Hearts (2005), worked on "Diddled Away" initially without a specific artist in mind.[3] At get-go, they built the drums and the string parts that of the introduction and verses.[4] Tompkins started playing his keyboard to find sound effects for the introduction, and concluded up using 1 that was a thunderstorm. "I think that's what kind of threw us into it. Nosotros just started writing it," he said.[3]

The songwriters then came up with the first verse of the vocal: "Dry lighting cracks across the skies / Those storm clouds gather in her optics / Her daddy was a mean old mister / Momma was an affections in the ground / The weatherman called for a twister / She prayed blow it down."[iii] Kear commented that it was non the duo's intent or goal to make it a dark, revenge-themed song. Equally they wrote the pre-chorus line "not enough pelting in Oklahoma", both knew that it was a Carrie Underwood song, as the singer is from that state. "We knew if we stuck with that lyric ["Oklahoma"—which is Carrie's habitation country] it was Carrie's song or maybe no ane would e'er record information technology," Kear commented.[4]

After the theme of the song had been established, the songwriters wanted to "dig upwards as much drama as [they] could."[4] Lyrically, "Blown Abroad" tells the story of a daughter locking herself in a tempest cellar while her alcoholic father is passed out on the couch in the path of a tornado.[v] Underwood revealed that "Blown Away" was the song that divers the direction of the album, and recalled the outset time she heard the demo:

"I listened to it on my crappy calculator speakers and and so I had to become find my headphones considering every bit soon equally I listened to a few bars, I had to listen more closely and I got chills. I remember where I was when I heard information technology and chosen my managing director, Ann, and I was like, 'Do not let anyone else have this song! It'south my song.' In talking to Chris and Josh about it, they [told me], 'We said we're either writing a song for Carrie Underwood or this vocal is never going to come across the light of day.' It made me feel so good that they were thinking of me when they wrote it."[5]

As noted past interviewer Kurt Wolff, "the melody and overall audio of the vocal as well stand up out every bit something fresh and very different."[4] Tompkins explained to Wolff that "Blown Abroad" was an "attempt at 'melodic pop' that was 'unique' yet withal 'land.'"[4] Tompkins also commented that "Blown Away" is "not fifty-fifty mine and Josh's song anymore; it's [Carrie's] song now. She'due south completely claimed it. The song is Carrie. It's not fifty-fifty a vocal that had a take chances of being pitched to anybody else. It's a completely different type of vocal for Carrie. She's got a lot of pop elements, and I listen to a lot of popular, just I listen to everything from Randy Newman to Mozart to Rihanna to Steely Dan. I think all that stuff shows upwards in my music, and I think it showed upwards in 'Blown Away.'"[four]

The final version of the song was produced by Mark Bright, who drew inspiration from 1980s music. Underwood recalled Bright adding an effect to her vocals similar to the ones used in Def Leppard songs: "That was a big affair with [the band], all of that hollow vocal sound. And I liked it."[two] Bright used a similar consequence on "See You Over again", another song from Blown Away.[2] Melodically, "Blown Away" is written in the key of A minor, and is set in the mutual fourth dimension with a tempo of 134 beats per infinitesimal. The song follows the sequence of Am - C - Thou as its chord progression, and Underwood'due south voice spans from the low note of G3 to the loftier note of Due eastv.[6]
