Luke Combs has given more details about his upcoming album. He posted an image of the album cover, which looks a lot like his Grown’ Up album but with a drawing of a home instead of a bar on Instagram.

Luke wrote, “This album is about the stage of life I’m in right now. One that I’m sure a lot of us are in have been through or will go through. It’s 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.”

He added, “It’ll be out March 24, but the new song ‘Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old’ out tomorrow.”

Fans are excited about the post, with one writing, “So so so excited. Only wish this was out BEFORE I have my baby so I can listen to it while in labor! Due March 19.” Another fan commented, “Growing up w Luke.” One more fan said, “Let’s go.”

Combs has been announced as a performer on the 2023 Grammy Awards, which airs live on Sunday, February 5, on CBS. Other Grammy performers announced are Bad Bunny, Mary J. Blige, Brandi Carlile, Kim Petras, Sam Smith, and Lizzo and Steve Lacy. Additional performers will be announced in the coming days.

Luke’s Grammy nominations are for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “Outrunnin’ Your Memory” with Miranda Lambert, Best Country Song for “Doin’ This,” and Best Country Album for Growin’ Up.
