Combs, an only child, was born in Charlotte, North Carolina and moved to Asheville, North Carolina at the age of 8. He has been performing as a vocalist since childhood. While attending A. C. Reynolds High School, Combs played football and performed with multiple vocal groups, including performing a solo in the world-renowned Carnegie Hall. Later, he attended Appalachian State University where he worked as a bouncer at a bar before gaining stage time in that same bar. He played his first country music show at the Parthenon Cafe. With less than a month left in his senior year, he dropped out to pursue his country music career. He later moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue a career in music.
Combs released his first EP, The Way She Rides, in February 2014. Later that year, he released his second EP, Can I Get an Outlaw. In 2016, Combs' first single, "Hurricane", sold 15,000 copies in its first week, and debuted at #46 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. In November 2015, Combs released his third EP, This One's for You. In late 2016, Combs was named one of Sounds Like Nashville's "Artists to Watch".
Combs signed a deal with Sony Music Nashville, and the debut single from This One's for You, "Hurricane", was re-released on Columbia Nashville. "Hurricane" reached #1 on the country radio airplay chart on May 15, 2017, holding that spot for two weeks.
In June 2017, Combs released his major label debut album, also titled This One's for You on Columbia Nashville and River House Artists. The album reached #1 on Billboard Top Country Albums and #5 on the US Billboard 200 in its first week. The album's second single, "When It Rains It Pours" was released to country radio on June 19, 2017. It reached #1 on the Country Airplay chart in October 2017. The album's third single, "One Number Away" was released to country radio on January 8, 2018. In mid-2018, Combs re-released This One's for You with several bonus tracks, two of which ("She Got the Best of Me" and "Beautiful Crazy") were also issued as singles. "Beautiful Crazy" reached #1 on Country Airplay in February 2019, giving Combs five #1's on the Billboard country chart with his first five singles. The song reached #1 on three additional country charts – Hot Country Songs, Country Streaming Songs, and Country Digital Song Sales.

In May 2020, Combs released the studio single "Six Feet Apart". This single quickly became popular to listeners as it illustrated the challenges of life during the COVID-19 pandemic. In June 2020, Combs confirmed his next single would be Lovin' on You, which was released on both his second album and the EP The Prequel, which predated the album.

on Where the Wild Things Are
Luke Combs's song "Where the Wild Things Are" is a story about someone's brother who passed away in a motorcycle accident. The lyrics paint a picture about the singer's older brother, who was a free-spirited and adventurous motorcyclist. The opening lines introduce the Indian Scout motorcycle that the older brother rode, which was black like his leather jacket. The American Spirit cigarette hanging out of his mouth was also a nod to the singer's father, who was most likely a smoker. The older brother rode out west, leaving their mother heartbroken but excited by the thought of exploring the western wilderness.
The chorus is about the thrill of living dangerously and chasing wild dreams- "Oh, it's hearts on fire and crazy dreams, Oh, the nights ignite like gasoline" – and the high-intensity buzz of cities like Los Angeles at night. The line "Out where the wild things are" is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the thrill of being in the wild and the danger that comes with it.
The second verse reveals that the singer eventually moved back east and that he and his brother continued to chat every couple of weeks. The singer moved back to safety, but his brother stayed in California, chasing dreams and living life to the fullest. However, he never stopped living in the singer's heart, and in the chorus, the singer remembers the wild times his brother had and the danger that came with being a motorcycle rebel. The song ends with the sad and poignant image of burying his brother under the West Coast stars.
Overall, "Where the Wild Things Are" is a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to a brother who lived life on his own terms, and who died too young. It's also a celebration of the thrill of living dangerously and chasing dreams.
