Luke Bryan shared a sneak peek of an unreleased ballad as he gets ready to release his next studio album.
The five-time Entertainer of the Year posted a snippet of “Made It A Memory” on Instagram on Thursday (June 18). He sings: “When you lit up my phone/ Said you were coming a little later on/ I can’t imagine a world where you don’t/ ‘Cause leaning on the side of my Chevy/ I was feeling like the luckiest guy/ Like the stars were falling just right/ It could’ve been just me and the guys with that truck bed full of empties/ But you took the same old night/ I’ve lived a thousand times/ And made it a memory.”
“You took the same old night… and made it a memory,” Bryan wrote in his caption on Instagram. He did not share additional details — including a possible release date — as of publication time on Thursday.
Bryan’s next song will follow “Country And She Knows It,” “Fish Hunt Golf Drink” and “Word On The Street,” which inspired the title of Bryan’s 2026 headlining run. The tour includes Drew Baldridge, Karley Scott Collins, Lanie Gardner, Randall King, Zach John King, Shane Profitt, RaeLynn, Lauren Watkins, Jake Worthington and DJ Rock on select dates. Bryan will also take the stage during Alan Jackson’s star-studded, sold-out final show, “Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale,” which will air as a televised concert special. The American Idol judge also recently announced new details for his annual Crash My Playa event in 2027.
Bryan’s new songs arrive as he gets ready to release his new 12-track studio album, Signs. He said in the Signs album trailer, “this record is a little bit of everything that shaped me. It’s heartbreak and healing, backroads and barstools. It’s the signs you miss and the ones you can’t ignore. It’s the nights that went wrong and the ones you wish you could live again. It’s where I come from, the woods, the fields, the people, and how love, loss, and time have a way of straightening you out or crooking your rows of corn for good. These are my signs.”
Signs will arrive on September 18. See Bryan’s latest sneak peek here, and scroll to see his upcoming tour stops below.
