Luke Bryan is releasing a new song today across all digital platforms,“Love You, Miss You, Mean It.” He first showcased the song in late February performing it during Country Radio Seminar in Nashville at Universal Music Group Nashville’s annual luncheon and then shared the performance with his fans on social media. “Love You, Miss You, Mean It,” written by Rhett Akins, Ben Hayslip, Jordan Minton and Jacob Rice.

“This song was special from the first time I heard it,” said Luke. “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. My wife and I went through that journey during college and I know a lot of people out there have too.”

Laci Kaye Booth’s captivating new song, “Sometimes,” is out today via Geffen Records.
Of the song, a raw reflection on heartbreak, Booth shares, “‘Sometimes’ is a song I wrote four years ago, under the full moon, in the middle of lockdown. There was a yearning for some kind of freedom in that moment that I think you can feel all within the song. It feels free and it feels nostalgic. My dear friends Ben West and Melissa Peirce helped me bring it to life. After four hard years, I’m glad it’s finally getting its moment to shine.”
