Luke Combs shared an update on an unreleased ballad on Sunday evening (September 28).
The award-winning country artist shared about a minute of the heartfelt storytelling ballad, titled “15 Minutes,” on his social media accounts, and confirmed he finished the song. “15 Minutes” depicts a conversation between the speaker, who is serving a life sentence, and their mother during a brief phone call. Instagram and TikTok commenters said it’s “another great song hitting close to home,” “I cry every time I hear a new Luke song,” “I’m not emotionally ready for Luke Combs doin what he does best,” “we really need this album,” and more.
Combs shared a clip of the unreleased song on YouTube over the summer. He shared in his caption at the time that songwriter Rob Pennington teamed up with Trey Pendley and Grant Vogel to write “15 Minutes,” and sent the ballad to Combs. Combs said “as soon as I heard it I asked Rob if I could write on it with him and make it my own somehow. Ended up recording it in the studio a few weeks back and just been messing with it at the house here lately and thought y’all might wanna hear it. Hope y’all enjoy and pumped up for this next record.”
Combs has not announced a release date for “15 Minutes” as of publication time on Monday (September 29); however, he confirmed in his caption that he finished the song. His latest update arrives shortly after he snared sneak peeks of “Days Like These” (which he and his wife, Nicole Combs, used as they announced last week that Baby No. 3 is on the way), “My Kinda Saturday Night” and more.
