Luke Bryan Rides the ‘Waves’ of Passion in Romantic New Single
Sometimes summer love is epic.
Luke Bryan catches a wave of young love in his new single, letting a swell of emotion rise up and crash onto the metaphorical beach of his heart in “Waves.” And with its sandy music video, the crooner captures his forever-romantic sentiment.
Written by Zach Crowell, fellow country singer Ryan Hurd and Chase McGill, the heart-pounding track features a dramatic midtempo presences and some truly epic instrumentation, as Bryan sings about the power of young love. The lush sounds of a pop orchestra mix with arena-rock drums, some hip-hop beats and Bryan’s comfortable vocal, while nostalgic lyrics soak in made-for-you attraction. It’s the kind of feeling that lasts long after the initial rush, Bryan sings, and a beachside music video looks back on one of those special stories — connecting the past and present in one never-ending “wave.”
“’Waves’ is a song about kids falling in love during the summer and just all the images and everything about just how beautiful that summer love is, and how the emotions just keep coming in waves,” Bryan says of the new song. “‘Waves’ is kind of a play on words, and I feel in love with the song the second I heard it.”
“You were made for summer / Just like these stars we’re under/ Were made for lighting this July sky up / Blanket down made for me and you tied up / All night long, over and over / Crash into me and pull me closer / Kiss by kiss, one after another / Don’t let go, baby let this summer / Just keep on coming in waves,” goes the passionate chorus.
“Waves” is featured on the deluxe edition of BORN HERE, LIVE HERE, DIE HERE, the seventh album from Luke Bryan originally released last summer. The project also featured four previous Number One hits, with his last topping the country radio charts just a week ago, including “Down To One,” “Knockin’ Boots,” “What She Wants Tonight,” “One Margarita”
