You and me both, Luke.
Country music superstar Luke Combs may only be 35 years old, but he already knows the pesky thing that comes with being an adult… never having enough time in the day. 24 hours seems like a lot, until you consider that a typical work day is 8 hours, and commuting to and from eats up an hour or so, and you’re supposed to get 8 hours of sleep, and so on and so forth.
As one of the biggest artist’s in the world, I can only imagine how much time Luke Combs has to give to everything and everyone around him. And there’s only so much Luke Combs to go around, so now he’s longing for more time in the day to alleviate all of that.
That topic came up during an interview with Apple music when the singer was asked about his songwriting credits on Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion album, and whether or not country music fans could get used to seeing more of that. Though Luke Combs wishes he could help more on the songwriting side of things, he doesn’t have the time to do it:
“I would love to do that. I think right now, it’s more of a time issue than anything, you know what I mean? Listen, if I could spend my money on doubling the time I have, I would. Just because I would spend twice as much time pursuing my passion of writing and singing and playing.”
Wouldn’t that be a great use of money?
Combs went on to say that songwriting is one of his favorite things about his profession. But as he’s grown in popularity, his time available for sitting down and writing has dwindled. Though he appreciates the perks that come with being a country music superstar, the singer sometimes longs for the early days of his career:
“That’s the thing, I think, that you don’t get to do as much of anymore. When you’ve reached a certain level, it’s like, ‘Well we do the record, then we go to the studio.’ I love doing that stuff so much. And I’d love to be able to do that even more.
Writing… I’d love to have a month of just nothing to do. Just like, ‘Hey there’s nothing to do this month. Let’s go write five days a week for the next month,’ and just write. That used to just be the normal thing I did every week for years.”
The “Beautiful Crazy” singer even thinks that the additional time he had when he was just getting started led to some of the best songs of his career:
“If I wasn’t on the road, I was in the writing room. That was it. And I loved doing that. I think that’s why the first couple of records had so many great songs on them because you had so many attempts to do this thing. I feel like we’re at that place with this next record because it’s been… two years? Two and a half years, just building that base over those years.”
Obviously, the last big project we got from the country star was Fathers & Sons, and though that was good in its own right, Combs is at his best when he’s crafting anthemic country music bangers. All signs are pointing towards the next album that Luke puts together being one that captures the essence of his earlier projects.

And I just thought I’d add that personally, I’ve been excited to see and hear what Luke Combs is cooking up ever since he posted this message to his X/Twitter account back in March. It was a short but very informative and inspiring post, and promised that the music he’s currently working on could come together to create the best album he’s ever released:
“I’ve been spending the last couple of weeks working on what my next record looks like and as it begins to take shape I can honestly say I’ve never felt better about one at this stage. It’s early on but I really do think it could wind up being the best record I’ve ever made.”
