Luke Bryan is back on top. The Georgia native is celebrating his 32nd No. 1 hit, with “Country Song Came On.” The song is from his Mind of a Country Boy album.
“When I first heard this song, it took me right back to the clubs and honky tonks I played before I got to Nashville,” Bryan says. “I love how the writers kept the simplicity in the track and let the lyric paint the story. WOW #32! I love standing on that stage for country fans more than ever. Thank you for showing up for me.”
“Country Song Came On” was written by Dan Alley, Ryan Beaver and Neil Medley. But Bryan says it is so true to his life, he could have written it himself.
“From the time I was 16 years old till I got my record deal, I [played] most of my concerts in little bars and honky tonks,” Bryan tells Billboard. “So I spent a good 12, 13 years playing in those environments and playing the Merle Haggard songs and the Waylon Jennings songs and the Keith Whitleys and all that. So it’s nice to find one like this that really is authentically me.”

Luke Bryan’s Next Album
“Country Song Came On” is likely the last single from Mind of a Country Boy. The 49-year-old is working on his next album, one he says won’t be like anything he has released in the past.
“It’s nice to kind of depart from what they expect and give them something new,” Bryan tells Country Countdown USA. “Now they’ll be wanting, hopefully, the next chapter of my singles, and keeping them guessing, and me trying to stay on top of my game.”
Even while on his Country Song Came On Tour, Bryan has been working on his new record.
“I’m actively writing songs,” Bryan tells The Tennesseean. “People always ask me, ‘Are you working on a new album?’ I don’t think I ever stop really working on a new album. I’m always trying to write a little bit and find songs. My current single, ‘Country Song Came On,’ is nearing the Top 10 right now, which I’m excited about. But the bottom line is, get in the studio at some point and record some new music, and just keep doing the deal. Keep enjoying being a country music singer.”
