While I usually like his materials, the last two singles were awful. Hopefully he'll come back with something stronger...

So this obviously hasn’t happened yet and it’s practically February. Country Aircheck is usually never off about this stuff so I wonder what the reason for the delay is? I’m guessing Luke and his team are all disappointed by the lackluster performance of “Country On”, but that song was so phoned in and corny that they shouldn’t be that surprised that it didnt smash..

[recordyear]

The fact that I forgot about this thread I made

He did announce the tour today with the name of previous single.

To be fair they could have thought of the song as an instant smash that was gonna be huge when they first heard "Country In" since you know one man's trash is another man's treasure.

I wonder for Luke Bryan if they aren't confident in any of the songs recorded for this album and got spooked by "Country On" underperforming.

[zdm1998]

I could definitely see them being spooked, because Country On followed Up, which didn’t even go top 20.

I am here for the downfall of Luke Bryan. His output since "Most People Are Good" has been horrible and his drunken tirades on stage + random Ron DeSantis appearance tells me he thinks he is untouchable.

[zdm1998]

Really I think a lot of the early 2000s artist have seen a shift from radio. Some of the main hitters like Luke, Jason, and Carrie have all seen some type of ding to their radio success.

So is this never coming out? lol

3 months

[recordyear]

Well he is releasing a new song called But I Got A Beer In My Hand next Friday. I assume this is a radio single.

[HeyHeyHey]

Him having a beer in his hand is the reason this is coming out 4 months after it was originally supposed to.

[recordyear]

[raylatch98]

This isn't horrible by any means, but outside of the hook I don't remember much about this at all after two listens. Not helping is that the melody is kind of clunky. 

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

They made us wait extra 4 months and give this?? The verse is fine, but the chorus melody is quite annoying. Another miss from Luke Bryan.

[.indulgecountry]

This... sucks. I miss when Luke Bryan was good tolerable. Very underwhelming and clumsy, especially considering the break and coming off a bit of an underperformer by his standards in "Country On."

[recordyear]

I wonder why this won't be sent to radio a few days later rather than on May 15th. The competitions are so weak that this will easily be most added either way.

[Kanenrá:ke]

The verses aren’t terrible just extremely generic. That chorus though is laughably bad. How did this get approved as a single lol

[recordyear]

Second most added with 45 adds this week despite official add day being next Monday.

[bdrm87]

This is pretty terrible, but honestly I kinda prefer it to “Country On.” They both sound like they were written by early stage AI.

[dm2081]

It’s not terrible but just feels like a little flat. I can see it’s purpose as a fun summer type song but really doesn’t add much to his single catalog.

[recordyear]

Debut at #41 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart this week.

[austin]

I heard this today and the verses sound like a parody song both in lyrics and delivery. What an odd song.

[recordyear]

Third most added this week with 46 adds and 91 total historic adds.

[LBTrocks]

That wordy, almost robotic chant in the chorus... YUCK! Luke Bryan continues to be awful, he hasn't been consistently good since his first two albums.

[recordyear]

Debut at #16 on Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart.

[aldo01]

I hope this flops HARD!! Just heard it and it is extremely annoying. I prefer "Shake it For Me" and "That's My Kinda Night" over this, which is saying a lot.

[austin]

When he says “country done came to town” I want to rip my radio out and throw it out the window.

[raylatch98]

I will say this song is kind of a grower for me, mainly the chorus which I do find catchy once you get past the initial hook. This song isn't anything special, that's for damn sure but for what it is, I find it harmless.
