Luke Bryan is celebrating the hard workers all over the country, including farmers and police officers, with the video for his current single, “Country On,” out now. Throughout the video, the Georgia native honors soldiers, truck drivers and more, while also sharing stunning nighttime scenes from downtown Nashville.
“It was awesome to spotlight all these great people to create such a special message,” Bryan said on social media of the video.
Bryan previously said that “Country On,” from his forthcoming new album, was the perfect song to kick off summer, and introduce his next set of tunes.
“We were in the studio, and we’ve been in the studio,” Bryan shares on Apple Music’s Today’s Country Radio with Kelleigh Bannen. “We’ve got about eight or nine songs recorded and we just have been working for the past couple of months. We had kind of thought that we were going to come with something new in the latter part [of summer], maybe middle August … I started playing this particular song, ‘Country On,’ to people in my circle. I was having tremendous anxiety about not having a song out in the summer.”
The 46-year-old is still going strong, in a career that has already spanned more than 15 years. With so much success to his credit already, Bryan is enjoying a freedom that he has spent years seeking.
“I can kind of say what I want to at this age,” Bryan acknowledges. “I’ve really touched on a lot of — I’ve thrown the parties, I’ve done the emotional songs. I’ve done the love songs, I’ve done the uptempo [songs], I’ve done the tailgate songs, the truck songs. So, it’s hard for me to find something that really speaks to a new avenue for me. And it’s hard to, even with ‘Country On,’ I’ve never heard me sing on something in that baritone deal. … This is a different little sound for me and that’s what you have to start kind of trying to look for and attempt.”
Bryan is currently on his Raised Up Right Tour. with Riley Green, Mitchell Tenpenny and DJ Rock. Find music and tour dates at LukeBryan.com.
