Luke Combs has released his new single ‘Back in the Saddle', which was written by the superstar with Dan Isbell and Jonathan Singleton.
The song’s official music video also debuts today, which was directed by Tyler Adams and features NASCAR legends Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Richard Petty. Watch it below:
“So much work goes into making these songs, so much time we spend making them, from the studio writing them to the videos. I got to make the video with Dale Jr. and Richard Petty, which is a total dream come true. My grandpa would be rolling over in his grave in a good way if he knew that I got to hang out with Richard Petty and Dale Jr,” says Combs.
Produced by Combs, Singleton and Chip Matthews, the song arrives while Combs is in the midst of an extensive festival run, headlining major all-genre events through this fall. Following historic sets at festivals such as Bonnaroo and New Orleans JazzFest, Combs will perform at Newport Folk Festival, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits this year, making him the first country artist ever to headline both Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza.
A Grand Ole Opry member and 11x CMA, 4x ACM, 6x Billboard Music Award-winner from Asheville, NC, Combs is in the midst of a historic career. He recently became the second most RIAA certified country artist of all time (155.5 million RIAA certified units), was inducted into the Music City Walk of Fame, became the first country artist to have two songs reach a billion streams on Spotify and the first with four singles certified RIAA Diamond.
Furthermore, Combs’ Grammy-nominated single, “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma”, reached #1 at country radio, leading him to spend 53 cumulative weeks atop the Billboard Country Airplay chart throughout his career.
