Luke Combs has another CMA Award to add to his collection. The singer-songwriter just won a CMA Award for Album of the Year, for his latest Growin’ Up record, which was released in June. This marks Combs’ eighth CMA Award, and his second for Album of the Year. Combs’ sophomore What You See Is What You Get also won the Album of the Year honor in 2020.

“I was not expecting this,” Combs said when accepting his trophy. “I don’t want to waste too much of your time. I’m so thankful anytime I get to stand up here with the real people to be thankful for, these two gentlemen standing behind me, Chip Matthews and Jonathan Singleton. These guys work their tails off on this album. Chip might have slept two hours since we put this record up … Thank y’all so much.”

Combs just released his new single, “Going, Going, Gone.” The song follows his latest No. 1 hit, with “The Kind of Love We Make.”

“’[The] Kind of Love We Make’ is one of those songs that I wouldn’t have been comfortable cutting when I was 24 or 25,” Combs previously told Rolling Stone. “But at 32, I feel like I’ve lived a hundred lifetimes in those seven years in a lot of ways because I’ve been all over the world. I’ve like met so many different people and it’s like I’m married. It’s like all these perspectives change. You’re inevitably a different person.”

Combs has much more to celebrate besides another CMA Award. The North Carolina native and his wife Nicole welcomed their first child, son Tex Lawrence, into the world in June.

“It’s amazing,” Combs told CMT of being a father. “It really is. It’s totally different. Your life just completely changes. People say that all the time, and it probably sounds like the most cliche thing in the entire world, but it’s really true. It’s just really like, instantly. Everything’s completely different.”

Growin’ Up also includes Combs’ “Outrunnin’ Your Memory” duet with Miranda Lambert.
