I am surprised that it doesn’t look like they will go for “Build Me a Daddy”. I thought that one was gonna connect really well.
Looking forward to hearing this since I loved his last two singles.

This better be good because they’re passing on most of the best songs on the album. Judging from the title, I’m expecting this to be a song with summer imagery.

No, that would mean Luke releasing a single with heart, good lyrics and deep meaning to it. We can't have that, it would ruin his image. ;)

No, that would mean Luke releasing a single with heart, good lyrics and deep meaning to it. We can't have that, it would ruin his image. He had that early on, with songs such as "Is Someone Else Calling You Baby" and "Do I," and has given them more recently with "Fast" and "Most People Are Good," but I agree we need more! Less bro-country from the inventor of it and more Do I's!!! "Build Me A Daddy" is one of his greatest songs and I can't believe he really passed on it. I fully expect "Waves" to be yet another summery song that crashes straight to #1.

It's been a minute since I've liked anything from Luke Bryan, so hopefully this is good, but I won't be holding my breath.

Pretty excited for this, not gonna lie. I enjoyed the base album quite a bit, hope the deluxe (and this especially) is up to par. :)

Of course he still chose more pop songs as single, but I like this the best out of all singles in this album era.

What is this 44 year old man’s obsession with summer? At this point it’s becoming redundant.

What is this 44 year old man’s obsession with summer? At this point it’s becoming redundant. It’s also probably a strategy. His huge tours are always in the summers and songs like this (I am guessing as I haven’t heard it yet) are perfect for it. I’m 39 and obsessed with summer. I know at least three people who only “listen/like” country music during the summer.

I’m liking it! Typical Luke Bryan and not any new territory but I’ll enjoy hearing it on the radio all summer long.

Audio out now. I like this. Chorus melody and the production is very strong, and it's quite unique, compared with previous singles.

This is... not very good. Sounds lyrically like a song for Dan + Shay or One Direction, not Luke. Production starts off weird, very Pop leaning but turns into forgettable fodder once you get into song. Shame they passed on “For A Boat” or “Little Less Broken” for this one. Either of those would have been light years better.

Wow. Um. Ok.
I am confused by this. The production jumps around SO much. Does it want to be a tempo? A mid? What's with eight note kick pattern in chorus? I'm just not feeling it.
Melody. Where is it? I guess the chorus melody is ok but the hook melody isn't really hooky to me. Verse melody is pretty lame.
It'll smash but I'm just scratching my head over here.

MR I mean...isn't this all probably by design? Just a little bit of everything so when it comes up on whatever Hot Country corporate streaming playlist, no one is bothered enough to turn it off?

This just feels so bleh. I know people hated "One Margarita" but that is so much better than this, because even after 3 listens to this song nothing is sticking with me at all

See, I really liked "one margarita". It was well written, catchy and fun. "Waves" is just a mess.

Now hold on a minute!!! What business does this have being one of Luke's greatest songs since the beginning of his career?!?! And why was this NOT the lead single?! And for heaven's sakes WHY was this EXCLUDED from the standard edition?!?! I have so many questions about those poor choices!!!
All I know is that I'm of the opinion that this is one of his greatest songs period. The instrumentation of that chorus is just heavenly and his vocal delivery is wonderful as well. I absolutely adore that music video too; it's his best in awhile imo.
"Down To One" was a favorite of mine, and this exceeds that and is easily my favorite single of this era. A+ from me

This is awful but par for the course with Bryan. Same topics since day one and same old non country drum beats. No thanks.

This song is definitely a grower. When he debuted it on the Idol finale, I had a mellow reaction, I suppose because it was live. I like him as a personality fine, but never really gravitated towards any song he's ever put out, but for whatever reason this one keeps getting stuck in my head. The video does it a lot of favors, too.
