Luke Combs, a long time SEC Network and College football fan, partners with the SEC Network on “South On Ya.”
LUKE COMBS: Yeah, so the story behind South On Ya, I was out on the bus at Orange Beach amphitheater a couple years ago and Jonathan Singleton and Dan Isbell were out there. And we had gotten a lead on maybe writing a song for the SEC, and we did and it didn’t work out. And, you know, we kind of had met Marty Smith. And, and I sent it to him. You know, I was like, hey, man, I want to do this and then the way that we kind of went back and forth with that, let’s do it – let’s don’t do it kind of thing. And I’m gonna put it on an album, I’m not gonna put it on an album and, and then one day, I just called him and I was telling him I was like, man, let’s do this thing, dude. Like, it’s just too perfect of a song to not be doing something. So he stuck his neck out for us and ran it up the ladder with some folks he knows at ESPN and I’m super thankful for that. I’m super thankful for Marty for doing that. He didn’t have to do that. And it’s just awesome. It’s just awesome to you know, be able to say that it’s you know, going to be used all over the SEC Game of the Week and SEC network, I’m just lucky man. That’s really great. And I hope you guys love it.
