Luke Bryan releases his new single, “I See You” on Monday (November 3rd). It’s the sixth single from his CMA-nominated, platinum-selling album, Crash My Party. 

When choosing the first single from his Crash My Party album, Luke and his team went back and forth on whether to release the title track or “I See You.” They’re both huge songs, and Luke says he always thought it would be a huge single for him.

“I do believe that ‘I See You’ is a huge single. It has everything of that emotion of it’s got that youthful lyric, kind of almost a hip-hop lyric and then that big ole chorus that really kind of jumps off the speakers at you,” he says. “And then that ‘jumping up and down with the band,’ that’s so melodic and hooky and catchy.”

Luke is nominated for Entertainer, Male Vocalist and Album of the Year at this week’s CMA Awards. The48th Annual CMA Awards will be broadcast live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena November 5th at 8pm ET on ABC.

“‘I See You’ and ‘Crash My Party’ were the two that we were going back and forth with on what should be the [first] single, and we chose ‘Crash My Party,’ and I do believe that ‘I See You’ is a huge single. It has everything of that emotion of it’s got that youthful lyric, kind of almost a hip-hop lyric and then that big ole chorus that really kind of jumps off the speakers at you. And then that ‘jumping up and down with the band,’ that’s so melodic and hooky and catchy. And then the one thing that stands out is that big guitar riff.”
