Luke Combs dropped new details about his highly-anticipated 18-track album on Tuesday morning (February 7), confirming that heâs finally releasing the widely-demanded â5 Leaf Cloverâ as he posted the track list.
Combs teased on Monday (February 6) that the 18-track project would include one cover song. The track list he posted on Tuesday morning shows that âFast Car,â originally released by Tracy Chapman in the late 1980s, is the lone cover on the country giantâs soon-to-release fourth LP. The track list also shows that âTattoo on a Sunburnâ and other songs Combs has previously teased with snippets on his social media channels will appear on Gettinâ Old next month.
So far, Combs has released the lead single of Gettinâ Old, and revealed that âLove You Anywayâ â a heartache ballad heâs previously teased on his social media channels â will make its debut on Friday morning (February 10). The reigning iHeartRadio Music Awards Country Artist of the Year (who is nominated in multiple categories at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards) previously shared that his 18-track project is a âcoming of ageâ album that offers an autobiographical insight into of âthe stage of life Iâm in right now.â
âThis album is about the stage of life Iâm in right now. One that Iâm sure a lot of us are in, have been through, or will go through,â Combs said. âItâs about coming of age, loving where life is now but at the same time missing how it used to be, continuing to fall for the one you love and loving them no matter what, living in the moment but still wondering how much time you have left, family, friends, being thankful, and leaving a legacy. Me and so many others have poured their hearts and souls into this record and I hope you love it as much as we do.â
Gettinâ Old is Combsâ follow-up to Growinâ Up, his 12-track album that released in June 2022, days after he and his wife welcomed their firstborn child. Combs recently shared the side-by-side artwork of the two album covers, and even shared his sketched drawing, the rough mockup and the first hand sketch of the album covers before arriving at the final version: âNow does it all make sense? âŚKudos to everyone who called it!â
Combs is set to release Gettinâ Old on March 24, just before kicking off his massive world tour that stops in 16 countries. Combs previously announced that heâs bringing special guests Riley Green, Lainey Wilson, Flatland Cavalry, Brent Cobb, Cody Johnson and Lane Pittman on select dates.
