Luke Combs Surprises Fans With a Heart-Melting New Ballad, “Giving Her Away,” and It’s Already Being Called One of His Most Special Releases Yet. ML

Country superstar Luke Combs has dropped his latest track, ‘Giving Her Away’, an emotional ballad that’s already pulling at the heartstrings of his enormous fanbase. This tender new single arrives as Combs continues one of the most remarkable career runs in modern music, extending his unprecedented streak of successes while gearing up for an absolutely colossal world tour.

The song is a departure from the rowdy energy of his previous release, ‘My Kinda Saturday Night’, offering a sentimental look at a wedding day from the unique perspective of a groom addressing his future father-in-law. It’s the kind of heartfelt, story-driven songwriting that has cemented the North Carolina native as a powerhouse in the genre.

Combs was quick to shout out the writer of the track, an old friend. He shared, “One of my good buddies Josh Phillips sent me this song that he wrote and I was just absolutely blown away by it. Josh has just been on an absolute streak recently with these songs that he’s been writing and this one luckily made it to my inbox.” He also added a personal touch, reflecting on their history: “Josh used to crash on the couch with me back in Boone and I used to go down and play shows with him, so it’s kind of a full circle moment for me to get to record one of his songs and put it out there for you guys. I think it’s real special and I hope you guys love it.”

‘Giving Her Away’ follows Combs’ latest single, ‘Back in the Saddle’, which recently clinched the number one spot on country radio. This milestone extends his record-breaking run to a whopping 20 consecutive chart-toppers to kick off his career—a feat that continues to astonish industry watchers.

This wave of new music comes just after ‘The Prequel’, a three-song collection released earlier this autumn featuring fan favourites like ’15 Minutes’ and ‘Days Like These’. It’s all a brilliant appetiser for the main event: his massive ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’ kicking off next year.
