The Voice season 27 continued with The Battles Premiere, which aired on March 10, 2025. This stage of the competition saw contestants paired against each other in duet battles, with only one advancing to the next round. Each coach brought an industry advisor to guide their team members.
Little Big Town joined Kelsea Ballerini, Kate Hudson supported Adam Levine, Coco Jones advised John Legend's team, and Cynthia Erivo teamed up with Michael Bublé.
During the battles, coaches had two options to retain talent, a save to keep a losing contestant or a steal to acquire an artist from another team. Notably, Adam Levine chose Britton Moore over Darius J after their performance of Creep.
Darius attracted both a save and a steal attempt but ultimately decided to remain with Team Adam.
