Global superstar Luke Combs‘ new song, ‘I Ain’t No Cowboy,’ is out today. Listen/share HERE.
Of the song, written by Combs, Cody Johnson and Jake Mears, Combs shares, “We were on tour in Australia with Cody Johnson and had planned to get together while we were there. I had this cowboy idea for a song, and ironically, he’d started writing something really similar that same day. We ended up finding time to write and finished ‘I Ain’t No Cowboy’ with his guitar player Jake Mears, and I even got to play it at one of the shows Down Under. The fans really seemed to love it, so I’m excited they get to hear it a week before the full album comes out.”
‘I Ain’t No Cowboy’ is the latest track unveiled from Combs’ highly anticipated new album, The Way I Am, which will be released next Friday, March 20 via Sony Music Nashville. Already receiving widespread attention, Combs was recently featured on The New York Times Popcast, The Zane Lowe Show, On Purpose with Jay Shetty, NBC’s Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist, Track Star and Bussin’ with the Boys.
Produced by Combs, Jonathan Singleton and Chip Matthews, The Way I Am cements Combs as a singular talent, showcasing his powerful, resonant voice and adept storytelling with songs that balance heartfelt vulnerability with anthemic energy. With the new 22-track album, which includes a collaboration with Alison Krauss as well as previously released songs ‘Sleepless in a Hotel Room,’ ‘My Kinda Saturday Night,’ ‘Days Like These,’ ‘15 Minutes,’ ‘Giving Her Away‘ and ‘Back in the Saddle,’ Combs dives deeper than ever into his life behind the scenes—the challenges of balancing family and career, self-doubt and self-belief and the clarity that comes from focusing on what truly matters.
In celebration of the new music, Combs will kick off his massive My Kinda Saturday Night Tour next weekend, with sold-out stadium shows across the U.S., U.K. and Europe. Upcoming stops include three nights at London’s Wembley Stadium (the first country artist to sell out multiple shows), two nights at Edinburgh’s Scottish Gas Murrayfield, two nights at Ireland’s Slane Castle, two nights at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field and stops at South Bend’s Notre Dame Stadium, Knoxville’s Neyland Stadium, Columbus’ Ohio Stadium, Paris’ Accor Arena and Sweden’s Ullevi among others.

The new album adds to an already groundbreaking career for Combs, who made history last year as the first country artist to headline both Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, in addition to topping the bills at several other all-genre festivals including Austin City Limits, Newport Folk Festival and New Orleans JazzFest. Additionally, he became the first country artist with two songs earning a billion streams on Spotify, the first with four singles certified RIAA Diamond and recently extended his record for the most consecutive #1 singles at country radio as he earned his 20th #1 with ‘Back in the Saddle.’ These accomplishments follow Combs’ last album, Fathers & Sons, which reflects on his experiences as a dad and the unique bond between parents and their children, and led NPR Music to praise, “he’s going beyond the country realm now and really has become a popstar, a global popstar.”
A Grand Ole Opry member and 11x CMA, 4x ACM, 6x Billboard Music Award-winner from Asheville, NC, Combs recently collaborated with artists such as Post Malone (‘Guy For That’ + ‘Missin’ You Like This’), Bailey Zimmerman (‘Backup Plan,’the 2025 SEC Network anthem), Jon Bellion (‘WHY’) and Alex Warren (“‘Ordinary (Live at Lollapalooza)’), and partnered with Opry Entertainment Group to open Category 10—an entertainment complex in downtown Nashville, with a second location opening in Las Vegas this year. Combs also performed an unforgettable duet of ‘Fast Car’ with Tracy Chapman at the 66th Grammy Awards and joined forces with Eric Church, Billy Strings and James Taylor to headline “Concert for Carolina,” a special benefit show that raised over $24.5 million for Hurricane Helene relief efforts.
