Luke Bryan is spending a SECOND week at No. 1 on both the Country Aircheck and Billboard country charts with his latest summer smash, “One Margarita.” The song, written by Michael Carter, Matt Dragstrem and Josh Thompson, is the follow-up to his previous chart-toppers, “What She Wants Tonight” and “Knockin’ Boots,” all from his upcoming studio album, Born Here, Live Here, Die Here, due out August 7th.

“’One Margarita’ is like the perfect summertime anthem party song, get on your boat, have a great time. The first time I heard it, I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s like the catchiest, most fun party song I’ve heard in a long time. So, we knew we had something special with the song,'” says Luke. “We get it recorded, and I’m like, ‘Hey! We’ve got Crash My Playa. What better place to put a song called ‘One Margarita’ out and then do the video?’ So, we go to Crash My Playa and we just start shooting it down there. And the video just feels fun. It came together amazing, and it gives fans a little glimpse of what Crash My Playa is if they’ve never been, and hey-it makes you want to have a margarita.”

Luke is set to host the ABC Special, CMA Best of Fest, which will include years past performances from Luke, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Darius Rucker, Dierks Bentley, Sam Hunt, Little Big Town, Lauren Alaina, Miranda Lambert and more, as well as a brand new performance by Luke and Darius. Check out all the action beginning at 8pm ET.
