Although fans loved the album, they had no idea it would be nearly two years before Combs would release another one.\u00a0With Combs becoming a father and growing his family alongside his wife, Nicole Hocking, the singer decided to take a break from his rigorous schedule to spend time at home. But getting back into the studio, the wait is almost over. And with fans excited, Combs admitted he couldn\u2019t get \u201cBe By You\u201d out of his head.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Every fan has that one song they can\u2019t shake. All it takes is just a snippet, and the rest of the day is reserved for that song playing over and over in their mind.

And with his newest album, <em>The Way I Am<\/em>, expected to hit streaming platforms on March 20, that number is sure to soar into the millions.\u00a0 But what did <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/luke-combs-unveils-22-song-tracklist-for-upcoming-album-the-way-i-am-including-an-alison-krauss-collab\/\">Combs<\/a> say about \u201cBe By You\u201d?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/3-luke-combs-songs-that-prove-he-is-a-great-father-and-a-stellar-musician\/\">[RELATED: 3 Luke Combs Songs That Prove He Is a Great Father (and a Stellar Musician)]<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-one-problem-luke-combs-had-with-be-by-you\">The One Problem Luke Combs Had With \u201cBe By You\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Sharing a video on his Instagram Stories, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lukecombs\/?hl=en\">Combs revealed<\/a>, \u201cSo I\u2019m sitting here making kids dinners, and a couple things.

Luke really said \u2018let me heal you real quick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With fans counting down the days until <em>The Way I Am<\/em> hits the airwaves, Combs genuinely thanked them for their unwavering support. \u201cI just want to say thank you guys for loving the song so much.
