An endearing single with a new sonic direction for this superstar". The melodic song holds snapshots of simple country living. Robert K Oermann of Music Row called the song "Beautifully produced, with airy, echoey space around Luke's vocal. The music video for "Up" is now live on YouTube. Add to that the fact that the songwriters used just a simple word as 'up,' to create so many images is pretty special". It talks about what I love and what's dear to me. Content īryan stated in a press release: "'Up' is a song that just checks all the boxes for a country song to me. Bryan also stated in an interview with The Boot that the song is "a story of how you're looking up to God to get you through in this". Bryan would become known for being one of Nashville’s more genre-busting performers, covering Lady Gaga and OneRepublic songs while releasing singles like the hip-hop-tinged “Country Girl (Shake It for Me)” and the shimmering ballad “Do I.” His time spent on the college circuit inspired his series of Spring Break EPs, a party-minded run of releases that, along with tracks like the stomping “Kick the Dust Up” and the chilled-out Florida Georgia Line collaboration “This Is How We Roll,” positioned him as the king of the brawny subgenre called “bro country.” Yet Bryan has held on to the sense of humanity and hope that informed his earliest songwriting, with the elegiac “Drink a Beer” and the sanguine “Most People Are Good” showing off his vulnerable side, and his annual Farm Tour benefit concerts bringing his celebratory live sets to the rural areas that shaped him.Cillea Houghton of The Boot described "Up" as "a farmer's anthem that speaks to the heart of rural America while painting a picture of what it's like to live there and devote your life to farming". His 2007 debut single “All My Friends Say,” a hip-shaking recollection of a rough night out, blended honky-tonk attitude with heartbroken candor. Shortly after he graduated, he moved to Nashville, where he broke in as a songwriter before scoring his own record deal.
Born in Leesburg, GA, in 1976, Bryan began playing guitar as a teen, and while in college at Georgia Southern University he gigged on and around campus. One of country music’s brightest 21st-century stars, Luke Bryan rose from humble beginnings to become a stadium headliner whose affable charm and resolute optimism fueled a series of carefree country-rock jams.
