Luke Bryan Has Lived His Latest Song
Luke Bryan told us in a recent interview that his new music video and song “Love You, Miss You, Mean It” 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 not working and then 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 the song, “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.”
The music video shows Luke in a wet parking lot singing in a black jacket as a young couple sits in a car saying their goodbye, writing “Love, You, Miss You, Mean It” on the window.

The country superstar launched the U.S. leg of his “Mind Of A Country Boy Tour” in Jacksonville, Florida, to a sold-out crowd a few weeks ago. Just days later, the country superstar released the song, “Mind Of A Country Boy.”
Luke told us of co-writing the new song, “Every time I get in a room with The Peach Pickers we have so much fun because we have so much in common.”
He added, “This song not only shows what can run through my mind but also what most us country boys think about on any given day: the girl we love, the outdoors, life, and not getting above our raising.”
“Mind Of A Country Boy” was written by Luke, Ben Hayslip, Dallas Davidson, and Rhett Atkins (aka The Peach Pickers) and co-produced by Jeff Stevens and Jody Stevens.
The chorus of the new song’s lyrics are: “Does she like old-school Alabama or ‘Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies?’ / Is it farmers’ market roses or a handful of dirt road daisies? / Ooh-ooh, are them stars lined up just right / Ooh-ooh, for stealin’ me a kiss tonight? / That’s what weighs on, that’s what stays on / The mind of a country boy.”
