Luke Combs will return with a new album, The Way I Am, on March 20.

The set, his sixth release for Sony Music Nashville, will include new track “Sleepless in a Hotel Room,” which was released Wednesday (Jan. 7) with the album announcement.


“It’s been a long process getting this thing going, but I’m really proud of this record,” Combs said in a statement. “I’ve loved the song ‘Sleepless in a Hotel Room’ for a long time, and it’s been awesome to see how excited the fans are for that one as well.”

The album is Combs’ first full length set since 2024’s reflective Fathers & Sons, which peaked at No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, continuing a streak of all five of his studio albums reaching No. 1 or 2 on the tally.

Combs produced the album with longtime collaborators Chip Matthews and Jonathan Singleton. He has already released a number of tracks from the 22-song set, including “My Kinda Saturday Night,” “Days Like These,” “15 Minutes,” “Giving Her Away” and “Back in the Saddle,” which reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart dated Nov. 1. It marked Combs’ 19th No. 1 on the chart.

The album release coincides with a U.S. stadium tour for Combs that kicks off March 21 at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, and runs through May 16 at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field in Wisconsin before heading to Canada and then Europe before concluding with three nights at London’s Wembley Stadium.

It’s shaping up for another big year for Combs, with the singer and his wife expecting their third child this winter.
