Luke Combs dropped his brand-new album Daddies & & Sons on Friday, which very same night– properly, on Father’s Day Weekend– he remained in front of 70,000-some fans at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, to commemorate his love of household … and his love of beer too.
Ahead of carrying out a string of love tunes blogged about his better half of 4 years Nicole, Combs stated fans frequently ask him why he tapes a lot of romantic ballads.
“I still sing beer-drinking tunes too. I still like beer-drinking tunes,” Combs stated to wild applause. “But I like my other half. I like my kids. And if it wasn’t for her, I ‘d have to do with 5 No. 1sts except where I am right now. These next couple of tunes are about her.” (For the record, Combs has actually scored 17 No. 1 strikes on Signboard‘s Country Airplay chart, so obviously he ‘d be down to a lots without those love tunes.)
Combs committed the latest tune he carried out, “The Man He Sees in Me,” to his 2 young kids: Tex, who was born upon Father’s Day 2022 and turns 2 next week, and 10-month-old Beau. It’s the lead single from his brand-new album, and it records Combs’ drive to be a terrific papa while comprehending that his kids will mature and recognize he’s not Superman (“One day in between him leaving home and driving on my knee/ Maybe I’ll lastly be the male he sees in me”). While the tune was just launched on June 6, he’s been playing it given that April on his Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old Tour.

Ahead of the tune, he spoke about the release of his 12-track brand-new album Dads & & Sons“Thank you for listening to it,” he humbly informed the crowd, using a Los Angeles Chargers hat on the home field of both the NFL’s Chargers and Rams. “If you listened to it, thank you. If you have not, I hope that you do.”
Simply like he stated onstage, there was plenty of time for beer-drinking tunes too.
The last 2 tracks before his repetition truly drove that home, beginning with Combs’ 2019 Brooks & & Dunn collab “1, 2 Many.” More than midway through the tune, Combs was signed up with by star Luke Wilson and Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler to shotgun a beer onstage. (Well, a minimum of among the Lukes shotgunned a beer; Wilson took a couple of generous swigs before chucking his Miller Lite can into the crowd.) And next up was perhaps Combs’ most significant party-starter of a tune: among those 17 Country Airplay No.
