Luke Combs' second collaboration with Brooks & Dunn is called "1, 2 Many." They've previously worked together on "Brand New Man" from Brooks & Dunn's latest album, Reboot.

Kix Brooks later said of Combs, "Well man, we love Luke Combs. Anytime somebody’s on a run like he’s having right now and every time you see him, he’s got on a Brooks & Dunn hat or a Brooks & Dunn t-shirt, you can’t help but like the guy. You know I love Luke’s singing too, I love his off-the-cuff attitude, I love his kind of 'I’m not worried about this' approach to everything he’s doing. I think I can kind of identify with it, and it’s great to see that success. Obviously, we had Luke sing on our Reboot album, he did a great job and really excited to see that track nominated for a CMA Award."

He continued, "And I guess as fate would have it, Luke just said, 'Hey, turnabout’s fair play,' and he sent a song over that he’d written and wanted to know if we’d sing on it with him and so we did. It’s a really fun, rockin’ track, something like we might’ve done back in the day."

Brooks and Dunn posted to Instagram last week saying, "Hey now... how ‘bout @lukecombs inviting us to sing on his new song “1, 2 Many”....!!!! Hot as a %#^*€?! firecracker !!! Dang You go Luke !! RD"
