Luke Bryan has released the follow-up to his current No. 1 single, “Kick the Dust Up.” The sultry “Strip It Down,” which he co-wrote with Ross Copperman and Jon Nite, is starting to hit the airwaves, just in time for Friday’s release of his new album, Kill the Lights.
The Georgia native says he’s never really recorded a song like “Strip It Down.” “I’m five albums in. This is my fifth album and I’ve never really done like that slow dance, take your girl and have a big ole, big ole night of romance and all that, and ‘Strip It Down’ kind of does that and I’m interested to see how the fans react to that. I think I got a good picture in my mind of how it’s going to go and I’m excited to see all of that transpire. But I do feel like ‘Strip It Down’ is a really, really special moment on the CD and I don’t think three years ago I could have delivered a song like ‘Strip It Down’ like I wanted to, but it felt right the way we wrote it.”
Catch Luke performing the tune when he hits the stage of Good Morning America’s 2015 Summer Concert Series on Friday (August 7th) and NBC’s Tonight Show on Monday (August 10th).

Me and Jon and Ross we just kind of huddled up at the house, same room – the loft at me and Caroline’s house (bust) Well the loft at me and Caroline’s house is kind of my little writing room and kind of got some good vibes going on in there writing some good songs. But Ross and Jon came out there, and we knocked out ‘Strip It Down’ and it was a pretty magical moment.”
