Luke Bryan released a sizzling new summer anthem, “Country On,” on Friday, and it’s no accident that it’s the latest in a long line of warm-weather bangers from the singer.

Speaking to Today’s Country Radio With Kelleigh Bannen on Apple Music, Luke says that it stresses him out when he doesn’t have a great summer party track in the holster.

“I was having tremendous anxiety about not having a song out in the summer,” he says, talking about the lead-up to the release of “Country On.” “I just always love having a summer song out. And not actually always pointed at summer, but to know that people are out on the lake and on their boats [playing the song.]”

Mission accomplished: “Country On” is the perfect soundtrack to a carefree day out on the boat. Luke has also hinted that it’s the first of a lot of new music ahead. He says he’s currently working on a new album that’s about halfway done.
