Luke Bryan’s new song “Build Me a Daddy” is an absolute tearjerker. Luke tweeted that “Build Me a Daddy” might turn listeners into puddles of tears: “I’ve played this song for a lot of my hardcore buddies and it chokes them up,” he shared on Wednesday (June 10). “I think that’s the beauty of country music, to really make you feel emotional,” Bryan adds.
Jake Mitchell, Josh Thompson and Brett Tyler co-wrote “Build Me a Daddy,” the sixth of 10 tracks on Bryan’s forthcoming new album, Born Here, Live Here, Die Here. The song follows a young boy whose father, a soldier, has died.
Born Here, Live Here, Die Here is set for release on Aug. 7, after being postponed from April 24. Bryan is hoping to support the album with his Proud to Be Right Here Tour, which was supposed to start on May 28 but has been pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, his website shows dates beginning in August.
