AUDIO: Luke Bryan says his Spring Break music is a way to express himself creatively.

Luke Bryan (Spring Break album) OC: …creatively. :39
“This whole Spring Break idea started from writing music without parameters. You know, if we want to drop a little cuss word in there or something, we don’t sweat it. And that frees us up more creatively to where we don’t get too bound by what’s going on when we’re in the writing room. My whole idea is that if 10 years down the road, and we’ve done 10 Spring Break albums and two or three of those Spring Break songs went on to become big hits that were kind of quirky songs that were spawned from it, then this whole ride has been a success, and it’s fun putting the songs out. So, it’s a fun little thing to kind of free yourself up a little bit creatively.”
