Bryan's Top 25 hit, was co-written by Rhett Akins, Ben Hayslip, Jordan Minton, and Jacob Rice. The five-time Entertainer of the Year's "Love You, Miss You, Mean It," is his current radio single and is the first to come from his forthcoming new project.
“This song was special from the first time I heard it,” said Bryan. “I knew it would resonate. It’s about young love and that whole process of trying to make relationships work through the on again and off again cycles. My wife and I went through that journey during college and I know a lot of people out there have too.”
Bryan's new "Love You, Miss You, Mean It," music video follows the announcement of his 10th Annual Crash My Playa. The country singer will return to Riviera Cancun, Mexico, from January 15-18, 2025, with Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Bailey Zimmerman, and more.
Earlier this month, Bryan not only kicked off his headlining 2024 'Mind Of A Country Boy Tour' with a sold-out show in Jacksonville, Florida, but he also released the track that inspired the tour name, "Mind Of A Country Boy. This country boy will make stops this coming weekend in Michigan in both Grand Rapids and Detroit.
Throughout the tour, Bryan will be joined by multiple special guests such as Tenille Arts, Chayce Beckham, George Birge, Dillon Carmichael, HunterGirl, Ella Langley, Chase Matthew, Meghan Patrick, Lily Rose, Josh Ross, Alana Springsteen, Zach Top, Vincent Mason, Tucker Wetmore, Dylan Schneider and DJ Rock on select dates.
Luke Bryan is a superstar today with twenty-seven number-one country songs to his credit. He is also a TV star as he is placed firmly as a celebrated Judge along with Katy Perry and Lionel Richie on TV's American Idol.
Last month, Bryan was rehearsing for his "Country On Tour" in the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville during CMA Fest week. He had some of his people go out into the street, which was full of CMA Fest fans from all over the world, and gather about 30 of them inside for something unique. The fans did not know what or who to expect, and then Luke appeared. When he entered the room, he said, "Alright, you all ready?" The fans erupted into cheers and screams.
Bryan then sang his new song "Beer In My Hand" for the intimate crowd, walking around meeting the fans and taking selfies with them. Luke posted a video clip of what happened on Instagram; he captioned the post, "I've always wanted to do that. Anything can happen at #CMAfest! #BeerInMyHand."
As he currently tours the country on his summer dates for his "Country On Tour," he recently announced that he will headline his fourteenth "Farm Tour" this September during a break from his "Country On Tour." The Georgia native will set up stages in the fields of local farms from September 14-23, 2023.
Luke said of his Farm tradition, "One of the reasons we created these Farm Tour shows – to bring the big-city tour to the people. These nights are one-of-a-kind, and we really enjoy getting to know the farmers and their families; we love the whole atmosphere of playing on these incredible farms and watching entire communities come together and get excited about these shows."

17. "Rain Is a Good Thing" (2010)
UMGOkay, the lyrics to this song are quite simple and give a simple recipe for making whiskey, but it’s a catchy tune and infectious. Luke also released the song during Nashville’s huge 2010 flood. At the flood relief concert Bryan told the press, “Okay, rain is a good thing but maybe not 17 inches of it.”
16. "Drink a Beer" (2013)
UMGWritten by Jim Beavers and Chris Stapleton, the song tells the story of a character who honors the recent passing of a loved one by watching the sunset on the edge of a pier; he drinks a beer, which is something they would have done together. Luke lost two siblings, who each passed away at a tragically young age. So Luke brings a lot of gravitas to this song.

UMGAnother party song for Bryan and it is also his thirteenth number-one single and his tenth consecutive chart-topper.
14. "What She Wants Tonight" (2019)
UMGLuke was a co-writer on this song, which he felt would appeal to female listeners because the girl in the song “controls the dynamic of the situation." He added, "I've been wanting to get a big, rocking tempo out for some time, and this is certainly it."
13. "The Only Way I Know" with Jason Aldean and Eric Church (2012)

11. "This Is How We Roll" (2014)
BMLGA great collaboration. The final single from Florida Georgia Line's debut album. The video of the song shows a biker named Kenny losing a bet and having to jump a tree. He fails, resulting in his dirt bike being stuck in the tree. When he, Travis Pastrana (a professional motorsports competitor), and some other guys are found stranded by Hubbard, Kelley, and Bryan as a result of the failed dirt bike trick, Kelley invites them to a party in the back of their semi-truck, which is revealed throughout the video to consist of dancing women and beer.
10. "Crash My Party" (2013)

6. "Most People Are Good" (2017)
UMGIn the song, Bryan sings about making "uplifting" statements about positive things in the world. At the time, Luke said that he was "captivated" the first time he heard the song, and that "It was something that I felt like that people always need to be reassured that there's way more good going on than negative."
5. "One Margarita" (2020)
UMGThe song we all needed to hear during quarantine and what fun it brought to so many. Bryan’s wife Caroline and mother appeared with him in the video.
4. “Home Alone Tonight” with Karen Fairchild (2015)
UMGBryan and Karen Fairchild performed the song live at the 2015 American Music Awards. The song was a groovy kind of ballad in which a man and woman meet in a bar and plot revenge on their former lovers together.
3. "That's My Kind of Night" (2013)
UMGThis tune is all about the beat and has a great one talking about catfish dinners, the Flint River, and where the corn rows grow. Oh, and love.
2. "Play It Again" (2014)
UMGIn the song, Luke sings about approaching a girl at a tailgate party. Suddenly, the girl's favorite song comes on, causing her to ask the protagonist to dance with her, and they both exclaim "play it again" when the song is finished. He drives her home that night, when the song comes on the radio, triggering a similar reaction."
1."Country Girl (Shake It for Me)" (2011)
UMGRoy Acuff (Grand Ole Opry star and considered one of the fathers of country music) had a saying, “Dance with the one who brought ya.” Acuff told many artists on the Grand Ole Opry to do just that when they performed. And like it or hate this catchy song is the one that brought Luke to the country music dance.
