Luke Bryan has been in and out of the Nashville recording studio lately, in between tour dates and trips to Hollywood to work on American Idol. He's released a couple of new songs already from his forthcoming album project, but he has yet to give details on what the album will be.
One of those new songs is "Love You, Miss, You, Mean It," which he told us he was inspired by what he and his wife, Caroline, and many more young couples have gone through.
Luke offered, "'Love You, Miss You, Mean It' is obviously about kids falling in love and that was their saying to let each other know that they loved one another. It's about young love. It's about going off to college and trying to make that work, and it is not working, so it's going full circle."
He added, "I've kind of lived that world with my relationship with my wife and I, and I know a lot of other people out there have too."
Bryan knew he had a gem on his hands the first time he heard it. "This song was special from the first time I heard it. 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."
Bryan has worked hard recording albums for years in Nashville, and as he told us in an interview not long ago, he has high standards when he's recording and doesn't take anything for granted. "I really don't want to get overconfident going into an album and then you kind of got egg on your face. I want people to be able to love the whole thing, but then I want them to have one or two songs that they can't live without."
The country superstar hopes for the same reaction from fans on every album he releases. He said, "I want them to be going, 'Oh yeah, this is what we wanted, this is what we expect, this is what we wanted.'"
Having many albums under his belt over the years, Luke says he feels he's become a better recording artist, "I am always having a blast singing these songs and always pushing myself vocally to become a better recording artist. I've always felt like a live singer. Now I feel like I've become an even more solid recording artist."
