The Voice coach described his new single as "literally a love song about how if times are tight and you ain't got much money — as long as you have love and you're happy — at the end of the day, that's all any of us can really hope for. You got it if you got that. That's all that matters."
"And if that's offensive to you, then we'll just have to agree to disagree," he added.
Shelton also feels like "these days, there are people out there who don't want to know the truth," he said when asked if he was surprised by the criticism, admitting he wasn't.
