Country music stars Bailey Zimmerman and Luke Combs roused excitement this evening with their newly-teased collaboration, “Backup Plan.” The duo recently shared a snippet of the track’s lyrics on social media, revealing an anthem of resilience with a country-rock, Jason Aldean-esque sound. With Combs slated to headline Stagecoach this weekend, April 25-27, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA, excitement is building for new music from both stars, who have stayed pretty under-the-radar as of late.
The teased lyrics focus on perseverance, urging listeners to keep pushing forward with the core idea that “gettin’ back up” is the only backup plan needed. The song’s high-energy, guitar-led vibe pairs well with the artists’ gritty aesthetics. The combination of Zimmerman’s raw delivery, Combs’ powerful vocals, and a country-rock edge screams “radio hit” on first listen.
