ABC/Craig SjodinLuke Bryan may be the booty-shaking, good-time guy behind upbeat hits like “Rain Is a Good Thing” and “Country Girl (Shake It for Me),” but the Georgia native also jumps at the chance to put out thoughtful songs, like his latest single.
“I get kinda tapped as the party guy, you know, the big party at all my shows,” he reflects. “But whenever I have the opportunity to put a song out like ‘Most People Are Good,’ that really tugs at people’s emotion — I feel like more than ever, this is a song that truly people need to hear these days, and I think that’s what’s making it relate so well.”
Especially these days, when our country seems more divided than ever, Luke believes the song’s message is important.
“The bad people get shuffled to the front of the list,” he tells ABC Radio. “You know, it’s always nice to think about [how] there’s a lot of good people out there in the world, and I think this song truly captures that emotion.”
“I’ve had the song kinda in my back pocket for a quite awhile,” he reveals, “and it wasn’t our first single off this album, but I knew when we had the opportunity to put it out that it was going to be a special song.”
“Most People Are Good” follows “Light It Up” as the second single off Luke’s What Makes You Country record. It’s on track to become his latest #1. You can tune in to see Luke tonight when a new episode of American Idol airs at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
