In recent years, Luke Combs has established himself as one of the prominent figures in contemporary country music.

Since 2017, native Charlotte, North Carolina has been thriving in the country music scene, with stadiums consistently selling out and hit after hit being pumped out, shaping the format and bursting onto the scene.

Some of the project’s 30 songs demonstrate a more contemplative and mature Combs, as the albums unveil a more introspective and wise Combs. With a young son and another one on the horizon in September, Combs, who is now 33 years old, started to establish a stable life and build a family with his wife, Nicole. When it came to his most recent set of albums, Growin’ Up and its companion, Gettin’ Old, the records highlighted a fresh aspect of the charismatic singer-songwriter.

The release of “Gettin’ Old’s Upon” marked the 15th and 14th singles from his album, respectively. This trilogy of hits, including “Gone’, Going, Going”, “Make’ We Love of Kind The”, and “Doin’ Up Growin'”, immediately presented a unique and singular radio experience.

As the weeks have been progressing steadily, April 15th marked a significant milestone for country singer Combs. His single “Love,” which was released on radio, emerged victorious in an unprecedented social media poll. This success left his fans, who are part of his large legion of listeners, with a tough decision to make between two frontrunners from his album ‘Clover’ Leaf 5 – ‘Anyway,’ and ‘You Love and.’

Attention listeners, the iconic musician studio helmed by Duncan Stuart, sits at the forefront with a commanding song, namely “Crazy’ Beautiful,” which interestingly possesses some unique production choices, centering around a lone fiddle.

Alongside the weather-worn and gravelly vocals of Combs, the acoustic guitar and low drum beat take their place in front, with the fiddle not playing a significant role in this stripped-back tune.

‘Love You Anyway’ indicates a conventional country sound, with the majority of the production components. Throughout his collection of music, which is a genre that Combs has remained committed to, although tracks such as ‘The Kind of Love We Make’ have certainly ventured into more R&B territories.

The mastermind key behind the entirety of ‘Love Anyway,’ ‘Pours It Rains It When,’ and ‘Make We Love of Kind The’ was Jonathan Singleton, the longtime collaborator of Chip Matthews. Combs was also behind the soundboard for ‘Even Though I’m Leaving.’ The tune was written by Combs, along with some of his co-writers, including Dan Isbell.

Singleton, an ever-present figure throughout Combs’ career, has been credited as a composer and/or producer on each of Combs’ four records. Singleton was also a co-writer on Combs’ mega-hit “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” as well as “Cold Beer Calling My Name,” “You Must’ve Never Met You,” and “We Got a Problem.”

If you were to touch me, I would be like a tall standing statue made of stone, shattered into pieces like the glass in a break-in, trying to make me last. And if you were to kiss me, I would become an ancient Roman statue in Rome.

Although some of the songs in the discography of tunesmith ‘Hurricane’ provide the most stunning imagery and flowery prose, this particular song, written by Nicole, mainly focuses on his wife (with a few exceptions, including a song called ‘Anyway You Love’ with lyrics from a different perspective).

In a moment, their affection has the power to both weaken and fortify him, employing the metaphor where Combs illustrates the image of the stone sculptures found in ancient Rome and other locations.

Nevertheless, I deeply cherish you. Oh, this heart shatters, the cause you became the day we encountered, if I had known, even if a compass needle requiring its accurate direction, similar to certain circumstances that deprive a person of options, there is simply no alternative.

Joining the chorus, Combs essentially describes that their love is limitless, steadfast, and inevitable.

Regardless of the situation, Combs will opt to adore her, acknowledging that their bond could potentially fade away and ultimately result in his heartache. ‘Love You Anyway’ revolves around this fact.

I’m just trying to write a song, you know. I understand that I might make mistakes and take risks. I guess I’m trying to say what I’m feeling, well. The weight on my shoulders could have been made much lighter if there weren’t any words there.

I probably should have put my song out on TikTok a couple of years ago to get it seen and heard by more people. I thought that the response would be better, but it turns out it wasn’t as good as I expected.

The hit-in-the-making, ‘Anyway You Love,’ has already notched its spot on the charts, climbing the country charts in Canada and the U.S. Within just eight weeks. It is quickly becoming a staple among the setlist for Combs’ 2023 World Tour.

Luke Combs’ stunning new song, “Anyway You Love,” will mark his 16th trip to the top of the charts, showcasing his arsenal of heartfelt ballads.

[In the last attempt to break me, I resemble a shattered glass, as if a tall standing statue of ancient Rome turned into stone, I kiss you.]

[Pre-Chorus] If it took one look to turn my days to nightAt least I’d have the stars, the sparkle in your eyes.

In any case, I deeply care for you. Oh, this heart shatters because of the reason that if I had known you on the day we met, even if it’s in the true north, like a compass needing a needle, there’s no choice for a man to leave some things.

In the second verse, I am attempting to write a song by taking the risk of trying to convey my thoughts and feelings, even though the words may not be perfect. I acknowledge that there is a possibility of making mistakes, but I’m determined to express myself in the best way possible.

[Pre-Chorus] And if you decided to abandon me and departedNot a single aspect of my emotions would alter.

In any case, I deeply care for you. Oh, this heart shatters because of the reason that if I had known you on the day we met, even if it’s in the true north, like a compass needing a needle, there’s no choice for a man to leave some things.

In any case, I have strong affection for you. Oh, this heart is shattered because if I had known the day we met, even for a moment, I would still love you. It’s like a compass needle needing the North, there are certain things that a man cannot simply leave behind.

[Conclusion] Despite knowing that you would be the reason for my heart breaking the day we met, I would still love you.
