Luke Combs counted his blessings as he finally released his widely-requested anthem, â5 Leaf Clover,â just in time for St. Patrickâs Day on Friday (March 17).
âI know Iâm a lucky man but I ainât sure why I am,â Combs wrote in an Instagram caption, referencing the lyrics to the long-awaited song. He continued: âMy wife, son, family, friends, and YâALL are some of the biggest reasons why Iâm a lucky man. And Iâll be forever grateful to yâall for giving me the opportunity to get to do something I love - create and play country music. Thank you!â
Earlier this week, Combs shared the story behind â5 Leaf Clover,â remembering that the idea âwasnât really anything that jumped off the page to meâ at first, but it quickly turned into a fan-favorite when he started to perform it live. â5 Leaf Cloverâ is one of 18 tracks set to appear on Combsâ soon-to-release album, Gettinâ Old. the project serves as a follow-up to Growinâ Up, which Combs debuted in June, days after he and his wife welcomed their firstborn child.
âThis album is about the stage of life Iâm in right now. One that Iâm sure a lot of us are in, have been through, or will go through,â Combs previously said of his upcoming album. âItâs about coming of age, loving where life is now but at the same time missing how it used to be, continuing to fall for the one you love and loving them no matter what, living in the moment but still wondering how much time you have left, family, friends, being thankful, and leaving a legacy. Me and so many others have poured their hearts and souls into this record and I hope you love it as much as we do.â
Gettinâ Old is set to release on March 24, just in time for Combs to kick off his world tour. Listen to â5 Leaf Cloverâ here:
