Luke Bryan is preparing to share another song from his much-anticipated new album, Born Here, Live Here, Die Here, with the upcoming release of “Build Me A Daddy.”

The superstar offered fans a sneak preview of the song on Twitter Wednesday morning (June 10) with a 14-second teaser.

Although it’s only a small sample of the track, one thing is clear: this one sounds like a tear-jerker.

“I’ve played this song for a lot of my hardcore buddies and it chokes them up. I think that’s the beauty of country music, to really make you feel emotional,” he wrote alongside the clip. “I can’t wait to share my new song, ‘Build Me A Daddy,’ with you guys this Friday.”
