Early in my songwriting career, when I was learning a lot about writing songs, I'd force myself to sit down until I came up with something.

I think it's always important to constantly keep the band on their toes and try new things that you hope will work. That's how 'Apologize' was born, and maybe down the line another little song will be born by that mentality. I've always really liked that song.

Anytime I sing the anthem, it is an honor and my heart beats out of my chest.

Growing up in Georgia, my dad was a farmer and we worked in agriculture, so we were always looking up at the sky, checking if rain was in the forecast. That always set the tone for the mood in my household, whether we had rain coming in or not - we knew the crops would be good and it was going to be a good week around the Bryan household.

Anytime you have a fellow artist say, 'Loving the new Luke Bryan album,' that's awesome.

I think certainly after every show I headline, I will be available to the fans. When I'm headlining a show, I don't walk off stage. I'll walk to the front of the stage and sign hats and shirts and tickets for 15 to 30 minutes, until everyone has everything signed.

You want women to think of you in a sexy manner. It's all part of the business. It drives ticket sales. It's all a part of it.
