Happy New Year from Luke Combs.
The country music superstar isn’t wasting the last day of 2024. While a lot of other people are dodging work, recklessly pounding alcohol at any hour of the day, and getting the champagne ready for New Year’s Eve, Luke Combs is sharing a teaser for unreleased music.
And he’s asking for some help from his fans.
Combs’ latest release was his fatherhood concept album titled Fathers & Sons, which dropped on June 14. I’d also be remiss if I didn’t mention his single “Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma” that was put together specifically for the country music powered Twisters soundtrack. Needless to say, Luke Combs fans were treated very well in 2024.
Now, thanks to a teaser that the country singer shared on his social media accounts, it appears that 2025 will also be a great year filled with new music from Luke Combs. A screen recording of a voice memo titled “More Less Than Perfect” shared a track that will seemingly act as a new duet. The chorus of the song goes as follows:
“Just because I’m broken it don’t mean I’m worthless
The heart you let me hold I know I don’t deserve it
You could run away and save yourself some hurting
But you kept loving me, when I couldn’t be
More less than perfect.”
Luke Combs love ballads are BACK.
The bones of the song sound solid, but its the caption that Luke Combs shared with the video that have fans excited. Along with the minute long teaser came a question to Luke Combs fans and country music fans alike:
“Who should I duet this with?”

Oh, so we are getting a Luke Combs duet in 2025? Now we’re talking…
Though only time will tell who Luke calls in to help him with this one. It’ll definitely be interesting to see if he and his team look at some of the artist suggestions that fans have flooded the reply section with:

I don’t think Luke Combs could go wrong with any of those country artists that were suggested above. However, there were actually a number of really intriguing non-country-artists that fans shouted out for a potential duet:

Definitely @kellyclarkson

Stevie Nicks

Miley Cyrus would sound great

Have to say that Miley Cyrus would be cool, but can’t really see it happening. When I first heard it, without looking at any of the comments, my mind immediately went to Ella Langley or Megan Moroney… two of the most promising young female voices in country music right now. Meg is a labelmate too.
But if I know one thing, you can always count on Luke Combs to throw you a bit of a curveball, and on more than one occasion, he’s shouted out or collaborated with really cool artists who aren’t exactly in the mainstream, front and center. He’s also used his tour and concerts to bring attention to really good country acts like The Wilder Blue, Flatland Cavalry, Charles Wesley Godwin, Colby Acuff, Hailey Whitters and more… actually, wait…. Hailey Whitters… that’s your answer.
Make it happen, Luke.
