Luke Combs Revisits Unreleased Song ‘Ever Mine’ In Honor of Veterans Day

With today being Veteran’s Day, Luke Combs felt that it was an appropriate time to revisit an unreleased tune called “Ever Mine.”

Co-written with Hailey Whitters and Charlie Worsham, the moving song is written as a letter from a soldier to his wife, capturing his uncertainty and longing while away at war. Combs originally introduced “Ever Mine” in 2020, but never officially released the track.

He celebrated the heavy yet important sentiment behind today’s holiday by once again sharing the emotional story. The North Carolina native’s smooth vocals glide above his acoustic guitar strums as he effortlessly captures the challenge of separation, the fear of the unknown, and the hope that love provides even in the darkest moments. Through the lyrics delivered from the soldier’s perspective, listeners are reminded of the sacrifices made by those serving our country as well as the power that love holds in our lives.

“My dearest darling/ I miss you more than words can tell/ I hope the garden’s growing tall,” Combs begins.

The chorus continues with the soldier hoping his other half is in “good spirits and good health” while back home and acknowledging that he’s unsure when or if he will ever return home to her.

Combs’ words once again carry immense weight as he sings, “Each day grows colder/ Filled with powder, smoke and steel/ I worry before it’s over/ I’ve forgotten how to feel/ I keep your picture in the pocket of my coat/ I sometimes find when I’m alone/ It’s my last bit of hope.”

He expanded on the song’s important message in his caption, writing, “In honor of Veterans Day tomorrow, here’s “Ever Mine.” We wrote this from the perspective of a soldier writing a letter to his wife during war without knowing if he’ll ever see her again. Love this one a lot.”

Fans willed the comment section, pleading with Combs to officially release the track, as it has already touched so many lives.

One user wrote, “We need this one released ASAP” while another said, “I can’t stop listening to this song!!! It’s been on repeat for like 7 times! 🤌🤌”

Luke Combs has been known to write songs from the heart that never fail to leave an emotional impact on his listeners, lately, as he’s entered into his chapter as a dad of two with one on the way, he has also leaned into that side of his life with powerful songs about parenthood.

The country star and his wife Nicole surprised fans in late September with the exciting news that they’re expecting their third child this winter. While answering a few questions regarding her pregnancy in a recent Instagram Q&A, Nicole explained they won’t be finding out the gender until the baby is born.

“If I could go back and not find out each time, I would,” she said. “We don’t care what we have, I know a lot of people say that but we truly don’t. Happy and healthy is always the goal.”

In addition to welcoming another child in the coming year, Combs is preparing to embark on a world tour that will take him across two continents and eight countries. He’s also teased a new album on the way, but has shared little details so far.

His My Kinda Saturday Night world tour is slated to launch in March of 2026.
