Shelton explained to Entertainment Tonight on Thursday why Stefani ended up revealing his album's track names online.
"We finally got a mock-up of the album, what the artwork was going to look like. And we flip it over and it has all the songs. I said, 'You know what? Take a picture of that and tweet it. It'll be our way to announce that yes, we have a duet together,'" Shelton revealed.
The country singer, 39, apparently co-wrote the song with Stefani, 46, so it wasn't just their vocals they collaborated on.
"[The song] is very personal for us both because, you know, we obviously have this bond that is remarkable together," Shelton gushed.
"The fact that we wrote a song together -- I know that I don't co-write that much because I'm very insecure about it, I guess, and [Gwen's] kind of got her circle of people that she writes with. But for us to reach out to each other as writers, it may never happen again. Who knows."
Shelton doesn't want to hype up the "Go Ahead and Break My Heart" track too much, but he's extremely proud of the results.
"I hesitate to brag on it too much but I really think that it's as good of a song as I've ever written in my life," added Shelton, who went public with the romance in late October after both individuals were recently divorced.
Shelton's latest album If I'm Honest hits stores on May 20.
