• The twang of nostalgia rings clear in "Remember Him That Way." Luke Combs offers a glimpse into the bittersweet realities of watching his father, Chester Combs, grow older.
• The tender track brims with memories of a strong, dependable figure – a man who seemed "10-feet tall and bulletproof." But time, that great equalizer, leaves its mark. There's a "little less rock in his roll, these days" and the "S" on his chest is starting to fade. His dad who may not be invincible anymore, but Combs will always remember him that way.
• Combs co-wrote the song with a team of Nashville heavyweights: Jonathan Singleton (a frequent collaborator on such Combs hits as "Beer Never Broke My Heart" and "Love You Anyway"), Erik Dylan (known for his work with Eric Paslay and Riley Green), and Jessi Alexander (who co-penned Miley Cyrus' "The Climb" and Morgan Wallen's "Don't Think Jesus").
• Combs and Singleton produced the song alongside Chip Matthews. This trio has been the driving force behind Combs' sound since his 2019 album What You See Is What You Get.
• "Remember Him That Way" is a track from Combs' fifth studio album, Fathers & Sons. The project delves into the complexities of fatherhood, exploring not just the joys of raising children but also the unique bond between fathers and sons. Released on June 14, 2024, two days before Father's Day in the US, the record is a reminder to appreciate the men who shaped us, even if they're not quite the superheroes they once seemed.
