Combs debuts "Love You Anyway"

Friday, February 10, 2023 – Luke Combs' new song, "Love You Anyway," written by Combs, Ray Fulcher and Dan Isbell, is debuting today.

Combs said, "It was Valentine's Day 2020. I was playing a show and had dedicated 'Beautiful Crazy' to Nicole (my fiance at the time) and said something along the lines of, 'If you're in here (the arena), I love you. If not, you know I do anyway.' Unknown to me, my buddy Dan had written down 'Love You Anyway' as a title in his phone, then he told me the story later that year when he and I were writing with my good friend Ray Fulcher."

"We loved the idea as a title and decided to write about loving someone so much that even if you knew from the beginning they were going to break your heart, you'd love them anyway. It came off very poetic, and we wanted to find the words that could really give meaning to what we were trying to say, but as we say in the song, we didn't know if there were deep enough words made for that. But it all came together and essentially it's a heartbreak and love song all in one. And long story short, me dedicating a song I wrote about Nicole ended up turning into another song about Nicole, and now three years later the song is finally out at the same time of year. It's a special one to me and I hope the fans love it as much as I do."

"Love You Anyway" is the second song unveiled from Combs' new album, Gettin' Old—a companion to his 2022 record, "Growin' Up." The new disc will be released March 24 via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville.

CD reviews for Luke Combs

CD review - The Prequel EP The saying, 'Strike while the iron's hot,' applies to many situations, but especially to the music business. The scene moves so fast these days that this last year's star could be this year's 'Where are they now?' Luke Combs moved quickly up the country music popularity ladder, so he's smart to put out this five-song EP between full-lengths. First single, "Beer Never Broke My Heart," is a throwaway tune, built upon a solidly thumping, Waylon Jennings-like groove. ...
CD review - This One's For You Too Luke Combs has gotten a lot of life out of his album "This One's for You," which includes his breakthrough hit "Hurricane," as well as the popular single "When It Rains It Pours." This deluxe edition includes five new tracks, many of which are just as strong as the original 12. "Houston, We Got a Problem" includes a smart lyric highlighting specific details about that big Texas city. Even though it has all these famous landmarks, it doesn't have ...
CD review - This One's For You Five years ago, when beer-drinking, truck-driving-in-the-country country songs were en vogue, Luke Combs' full-length debut would have fit right in. In 2017, when pop music rules the country market and male singers are more likely to wear a stylish jacket instead of a flannel shirt, Combs is positively refreshing. "Hurricane," the first single and first top five hit of Combs' career, sounds like a typical Jason Aldean ballad at the onset, but then builds into something more ...
