Luckily, it\u2019s clear that fans have his back as his comment sections are overflowing with love for the new music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGosh, it\u2019s crazy. I just feel like it\u2019s the first time I put music out in quite some time and I am nervous about it. I\u2019m nervous to see what you guys will think about it,\u201d he said in a new Instagram post addressed directly to fans.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DPWUdL0kUok\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"\/>\n<p>In the candid post, Combs went on to explain that while he\u2019s feeling nervous, he\u2019s also confident in the songs he\u2019s recorded. He acknowledged that it\u2019s not lost on him that fans have been eager for new music, but balancing life as a dad of two with a third on the way and touring the world has kept him busy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know you guys have been waiting for music for a long time and I\u2019ve just been kind of doing as much as I can raising the kids and I mean, you can see these gray hairs, man. They\u2019re coming in and it\u2019s just wild. It\u2019s just wild,\u201d he admitted. \u201cTime flies and it feels like I\u2019ve been doing this for and for six months at the same time, if that makes any sense. So sometimes I feel like, I don\u2019t know what it even takes to promote your songs anymore as far as this stuff goes. It can be so complicated at times, but I just want you guys to know that I do have some new songs out today. I\u2019m super, super excited about \u2019em. Super excited about the rest of the stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"perfmatters-lazy-youtube\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NiLJXwtIKhY\" data-id=\"NiLJXwtIKhY\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" onclick=\"perfmattersLazyLoadYouTube(this);\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/NiLJXwtIKhY\/hqdefault.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/NiLJXwtIKhY\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Luke Combs - My Kinda Saturday Night (Official Studio Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NiLJXwtIKhY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Combs ended the post by recapping a bit of what his day will look like with tonight\u2019s headlining slot at Austin City Limits Music Festival.
