VIDEO – SONGS OF INNOCENCE –
Feb. 24, 2023 – Combs spoke about the subject of drinking in country music and said those who are sober or those who are currently battling addiction might be affected by that theme.
“Our genre has so many songs about drinking and partying, hell, I’m probably one of the worst culprits of it,” he wrote. “There’s nothing wrong with that I don’t think, but sometimes I wonder what someone in the crowd who doesn’t drink, or struggles with addiction is thinking or feeling when there’s thousands of people around them screaming ‘Beer Never Broke My Heart’ or ‘1, 2 Many.’”
Combs says “Joe” is for those people.
“I’ve always wanted a song for those people to have for themselves,” he continued, adding, “to have a song they can sing at the top of their lungs and feel like they’re not forgotten.”
