We love you, Friday. It’s a jam-packed week for our New Music Friday playlist.
Luke Bryan is came in hot today (April 5) with his newest misty-eyed walk down memory lane. “Love You, Miss You, Mean It”, written by Rhett Atkins, Jordan Minton, Jacob Rice and Ben Hayslip, documents the early days and echos Bryan’s relationship with his wife Caroline.

Kelsea Ballerini is also reflecting on the past with a reimagined version of one of her very first singles, “Love Me Like You Mean It.” The songstress posted on her socials, “Ten years ago, i was twenty, naive, starry-eyed, and absolutely relentless on putting my music out into the world. I’m proud to say, nothing has changed…except a DECADE of this wildly beautiful journey we’ve gotten to share full of tours and singalongs, wins and losses, and growing up together. Soooo, before we move into new music (yes, it’s coming i swear) I wanted to celebrate the beginning with you,” she says.
