2. The Kind of Love We Make by Luke Combs

Combs has delivered another hit! While his songs about mending a broken heart make the most impact, songs about how deeply he loves someone like the song “The Kind of Love We Make” are always welcome.

3. Wasted On You by Morgan Wallen

Many country fans truly relate to this slow-burning track, “Wasted on you,” as Wallen sings from the point of view of a man lamenting for the time, money, and all the other things he wasted on a relationship that ended up failing.

4. She Had Me At Heads Carolina by Cole Swindell

The song, inspired by the love of 90s country, truly has a groove that works in Swindell’s favor, making it his fastest single to date. 

5. 5 Foot 9 by Tyler Hubbard

This feel-good tune has everything fans love about Florida Georgia Line. It is a sunny, pop-inflected ballad that celebrates the good stuff in life.

6. Something In The Orange by Zach Bryan

Bryan definitely captured so much emotion as he sang this sad ballad about a doomed relationship and desperately missing his lover.

Zimmerman is definitely one of the most popular country artists at the moment. He’s building a strong fan base, and most importantly, he’s here to deliver another painful song about a relationship’s end.

8. Fall In Love by Bailey Zimmerman

Despite its title, the raw-voiced singer finds himself singing about his lost love in this song – which impacts many country fans and is simply fascinating. This is especially when Zimmerman showcased how his vocals work to set him apart from his peers.

9. Son Of A Sinner by Jelly Roll

The country-rock-leaning track is a gripping account of life after rock bottom, as Jelly Roll reflects on his edgy lifestyle – navigating the divide between right and wrong.

10. Thank God by Kane Brown with Katelyn Brown

11. Whiskey On You by Nate Smith

This gritty, rock ‘n’ roll drinking song driven by thumping drums and a rock guitar line truly shows how talented and wide-ranging Smith is. It’s a breakup song to its core, with Smith resorting to whiskey to drown the memory of a broken relationship.

12. What My World Spins Around by Jordan Davis

Davis definitely has a knack for delivering the right song at the right time. The song is a perfect blend of a love ballad and nostalgia as Davis shares all the things he loves about his life.

13. Wishful Drinking by Ingrid Andress with Sam Hunt

While this sleek, R&B-flavored production is a song about a commonly overused topic, it is delivered with clever lyrical resourcefulness – prompting an engaging discussion about the wistfulness and regret of going back to an old love.

14. Don’t Come Lookin’ by Jackson Dean

This up-tempo ballad sings about getting away, going after your path, and enjoying the freedom of the road. “I think everyone’s wanted that kind of escape or freedom,” Dean said. “I figured it’d make a good song for anyone who’s ever been there.”

15. Half Of Me by Thomas Rhett Featuring Riley Green

Rhett teamed up with Green to deliver a rollicking duet – and we must say, it is undeniably catchy. No one can definitely beat Rhett when it comes to genre experimentation.
