Combs finds "5 Leaf Clover"

Friday, March 17, 2023 – Luke Combs' new song, "5 Leaf Clover," written by Combs, Jessi Alexander and Chase McGill, is out today.

The song on his upcoming 18-song disc, "Gettin' Old," out next Friday.

Combs said, "A while back my buddy Newdy and I were looking around the clover plot at my house for 4 leaf clovers. I eventually found one, but shortly thereafter, he found a 5 leaf clover, and I thought to myself, 'Man, how lucky do you have to be to find a 5 leaf clover?' Didn't think too much of it at the time, but wrote that down as a title in my phone."

"A few weeks later, I was writing with Jessi Alexander and Chase McGill, and it came up. It still wasn't really anything that jumped off the page to me, but I shared the idea and guitar melody I had with them, and they loved it. We ended up writing the song that day. I eventually started playing it at shows and posting a video of the song, and y'all quickly let me know it was one I had to record; that's why I'm super pumped for y'all to finally hear it."

"5 Leaf Clover" is the fourth song unveiled from "Gettin' Old," a companion to his 2022 record, "Growin' Up."

Produced by Combs, Chip Matthews and Jonathan Singleton, "Gettin' Old" is Combs' fourth full-length album following "Growin' Up," 2019's 3x Platinum "What You See is What You Get" and his 4x Platinum debut, "This One's For You."

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 ...
