Boyd just released his first single, My Baby's Got a Smile on Her Face, which his coach was initially said to have penned due to his comments during the finale regarding the song, but Shelton actually only passed it off to Boyd. Stephanie Urbina Jones and Mark Marchetti penned the song as Jones mentioned on her Facebook Saturday. Boyd performed it during the finale of The Voice.

@opry Wow, that is great but what about others who have "paid their dues" and should be invited who have not been on a TV show? hmm.. — Lynnie (@TweetThisBabe) December 19, 2014
