"Love You Anyway" is a song by American country music singer Luke Combs. It released on February 10, 2023, as the lead single from his fourth studio album Gettin' Old .
In 2022, Combs wanted to write a song about his wife, Nicole, whom he married in 2020. He presented the idea during a writing session with his friend Dan Fulcher, who suggested the title "Love You Anyway" to him. Combs described the song as "very poetic". [1] Jeremy Chua of Taste of Country thought the song had elements of the neotraditional country movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s, highlighting Combs' voice and the use of fiddle in particular. [2]
"Love You Anyway" reached number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart dated September 9, 2023. The same week, Combs' own "Fast Car" sat at number two, making it the first time in that chart's history that the top two positions were simultaneously occupied by a solo act with no accompanying acts, and only the second time that such a distinction has been accomplished by any act overall. [3] Additionally, it set a new record for the shortest timespan between number one singles by a lead artist, with a four-week span. [3]
