"Growin' Up and Gettin' Old" finds Luke Combs reflecting how far he's come. The one-time raucous adolescent acknowledges he's now settled down and come of age. Now he's a father and husband. I spend most my happy hours here at home In the middle of growin' up and gettin' old But he still has a wild steak and occasionally lets loose. I can still raise hell all night with the boys when I want to Lay that hammer down to see how fast she'll go Combs wrote "Growin' Up and Gettin' Old" with Rob Snyder and Channing Wilson. They first hooked up in 2014 when Snyder and Wilson's friend missed a writing appointment with them. Combs' buddy passed along the young singer-songwriter's phone number to the pair and the trio wrote "She Got the Best of Me" that day. Combs released the song as the lead single from his fourth studio album, Gettin' Old, on January 27, 2023. The longplayer effectively serves as a sequel to his third album, the June 2022-released Growin' Up. The two album titles, taken together, create the name of this tune. Chip Matthews and Jonathan Singleton produced "Growin' Up and Gettin' Old." Matthews and Singleton also co-produced Growin' Up with Combs. Matthews and Singleton sang background vocals and Matthews played percussion. The other musicians are: Acoustic guitar: Charlie Worsham Electric guitar: Derek Wells, Rob McNelley, Pat Buchanan, and Sol Philcox-Littlefield Bass: Steve Mackey Drums: Jerry Roe Keyboards: Jim "Moose" Brown

I spend most my happy hours here at home
In the middle of growin' up and gettin' old

But he still has a wild steak and occasionally lets loose.

I can still raise hell all night with the boys when I want to
Lay that hammer down to see how fast she'll go
