Luke Combs Teases New Song ‘Sleepless In A Hotel Room’

Nashville, TN — Luke Combs sparked excitement among fans on January 4, 2026, with a teaser for his upcoming song “Sleepless In A Hotel Room.” The announcement comes as he prepares to release a new studio album, stirring anticipation about its content and direction.

Combs, originally from North Carolina, hinted at his new track on social media. He originally wrote it about five years ago, during quarantine, while missing his wife, Nicole Hocking, as he prepared for a performance at the Billboard Music Awards. This song marks a continuation of his exploration of themes that resonate with many fans—the struggles of touring and time away from loved ones.

His post gained immediate attention, with phrases like “Luke Combs just casually dropping a banger” echoing across social media. Fans expressed their eagerness, stating things like, “Convinced you cannot make a bad song.” While the official release date for “Sleepless In A Hotel Room” has yet to be announced, the buzz surrounding it continues to grow.

This new track could potentially be part of a larger collection, as fans noticed a countdown clock on his website, suggesting an announcement regarding his next album may be imminent. The speculation centers around whether this new music will highlight previously unreleased tracks or fresh material.

In a recent performance clip, which garnered over 120,000 likes, Combs performed the song in the studio, detailing its emotional origins. Commenting on the songwriting process, he mentioned, “Hope y’all dig this preview of it. Wrote it with Jonathan Singleton and Randy Montana.”

Combs’ fans are eager for him to provide more signs of musical evolution, particularly in light of recent critiques that his prior albums felt repetitive. Songs like “Giving Her Away” and “Back in the Saddle” were well-received but noted for their adherence to traditional country sounds.

The anticipation builds not only for the new single but also for Combs’ sixth studio album, expected later this year. With his previous releases, such as “The Prequel,” drawing praise, fans are hopeful that his upcoming work will deliver even greater depth and innovation.

Amidst his professional milestones, Combs is also preparing for personal changes, as he and Nicole expect their third child this winter. The combination of new family responsibilities and creative output will mark 2026 as a significant year for the singer-songwriter.
