Some radio stations said last year that "Baby It's Cold Outside" was no longer part of their playlists.

Some of the lyrics of the original songs include the woman singer asking, "What's in this drink?"

The controversy grew in light of the #MeToo movement.

The back and forth in the song, which Legend sings with Kelly Clarkson, will now go as such, according to the Vanity Fair interview:

Clarkson: "What will my friends think..."

Legend: "I think they should rejoice."

Clarkson: "...If I have one more drink?"

Legend: "It's your body, and your choice."

The entire album will be released next month, but you can preorder the CD or vinyl, both of which come with digital albums, here.
