Jennifer Love Hewitt is resurrecting a former part of her career everyone loved, and she did it for an exciting reason.

For the May 2 episode of 9-1-1, fans of the actress were surprised to learn she performed an acoustic cover of Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers' duet "Islands in the Stream" in character as Maddie Buckley singing to her husband Howard "Chimney" Han (Kenneth Choi).

After eliciting a heartfelt reaction from viewers, Jennifer took to Instagram on May 13 to reveal that she not only recorded a studio version of the tune, she released a music video to accompany it as well.

"Our Islands in the Stream video is out!" read the caption. "Head over to YouTube to watch the full song!"

When fans saw that Jennifer released a cover of the song she's sung multiple times on 9-1-1, they immediately remembered her previous ventures in music and wanted more original work from her.

"Omg Yas I missed your music 😭😭😭," one person voiced in the comments. "Such a beautiful voice. I hope we will get an other album soon ❤️," another agreed. "I have chills all over my body when I listen to this, Jennifer you have the most angelic voice ever 🤍," a different follower added.

As fans of the Criminal Minds alum may remember, Jennifer released four albums (Love Songs, Lets Go Bang, Jennifer Love Hewitt and BareNaked) throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. She also put out music for the soundtrack of her TV show The Client List, which came out in October 2018.

As far as Jennifer's history with "Islands in the Stream," fans watched Maddie sing this with Chimney at a karaoke bar on 9-1-1 back in season 2. The moment quickly became a favorite among viewers, and Jennifer later shared why she wanted to revisit the tune for the couple's big day.

"Kenny loves to listen to music when he has emotional scenes," she told Entertainment Weekly in May. "And so, when the episode was coming up, I was like, 'What can I do for him to kind of keep Maddie in his brain, even though he's not supposed to remember Maddie, but to kind of draw him back to that room where he needs to be?' And for us, we always think of Maddie and Chimney's real beginning as that moment in the karaoke bar where they sang 'Islands in the Stream.' So I woke up one night in the middle of the night and I was like, "Oh, God, that's it! I have to give Kenny a wedding gift from Maddie, and it has to be this very emotional, sort of ballad version of 'Islands in the Stream.'"
