by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey  |  October 6, 2017

Luke Bryan announced the Dec. 8 release of his sixth studio album, What Makes You Country, on Good Morning America today (Oct. 6).

Produced by Jeff Stevens and Jody Stevens, What Makes You Country features 15 songs, seven of which were co-written by Luke, including the title track. The album’s lead single, “Light It Up,” is currently No. 11 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart after just six weeks.

“My favorite part of making a new album is getting to collaborate with the songwriting community in this town,” said Luke. “It is important to me to continue to push myself to grow on all levels and I feel like we did that on this project. Making and performing music never gets old and I can honestly say I am having the time of my life. I will be forever grateful to every fan who sings along each night.”

Pre-orders are available now.

In conjunction with the announcement of What Makes You Country, Luke also shared a sneak peek of his What Makes You Country digital campaign. The video engages people from all walks of life to represent what “country” means to them, using the hashtag, #WhatMakesMeCountry.
