Fans are begging Luke Combs to release a new song after the country hitmaker dropped another teaser for his latest tune “Back in the Saddle” via Instagram on Sunday, July 6.
“I really think y’all are gonna like this one,” Luke, 35, captioned the post.
The new track features the artist’s powerhouse vocals and raspy riffs. The acoustics hit hard, as an electric guitar, a banjo and the drums shined through. In the video, Luke gave one heck of a performance behind the mic during a studio session.

The intro was enough to get listeners going, but the chorus of the unreleased song will guarantee fans to kick their boots in the dirt.
“‘Cause I’m back in the saddle like some old cowboy who dug his way out of his grave / Pulled up his boots/ Put his pistol on his hip / Climbed up until he could up to rain / Don’t worry where I’ve been / I’m back in the saddle again.”
Luke’s tease did successfully hit home with fans, as they practically begged for him to release the song ASAP.
