La canción deLuke Combs casi fue a parar a otra leyenda de la música country.
During a recent interview with Country Now, Combs and some members of his team, Dan Isbell, Jonathan Singleton, Ray Fulcher, Chip Matthews and Rob Williford, discussed the origin of his song "Where The Wild Things Are," from his most recent album, "Gettin' Old."
Isbell told the outlet, singer Eric Church "almost cut" the song, and it bounced around for a few years, with Isbell saying, "I couldn’t believe that song couldn’t land somewhere."
"At the time, nobody was cutting story songs at all, really. I mean, outside of Eric Church, probably," Combs said.

The song is a story told from the perspective of a young man whose brother leaves their hometown and moves out West. Throughout the song, he tells tales of his brother's adventures in his new life, "out where the wild things are," only to find out at the end of the song, he ultimately passed away in a motorcycle accident.
Although Combs loved the song, he almost passed on it as he considers it "a really tough song to sing," saying "we struggle with it even in studio."
"Recuerdo que alguien me dijo, creo que fue cuandoSean] Moffitt y yo aún hacíamos cosas, y yo le decía: 'Bueno, no podemos hacer esto, porque no voy a poder cantar esto en directo así'. Y él decía: 'Tío, no podemos rebajar el disco. Ya te las apañarás, tenemos que hacerlo lo mejor posible, y ya te las apañarás. Te lo prometo". Así que siempre lo he recordado", explicó Combs.
"I don’t know how that song never get cut, because it’s an awesome, awesome song," he continued.

While Church didn't end up recording the song, he and Combs have worked together in the past on the song "Does to Me," from Combs' second studio album, "What You See Is What You Get."
Combs opened up to Taste of Country in November 2019 about how much it meant to him to collaborate with Church on the song, saying, "He's been a big influence on me for a really long time."
"Me encantó esta canción cuando la escribimos allá por 2016, y pensé que sonaba como una canción de Church. Bromeábamos con hacérsela llegar, pero en aquel momento no teníamos forma de ponernos en contacto con él", escribió Combs en las redes sociales cuando promocionaba la canción en enero de 2020. "Pasaron unos años y empezamos a pensar que realmente podría funcionar".
"I never wanted Eric to feel like it was something he had to be a part of, but thankfully he loved the song when I sent it to him, and helped us take it to another level," he continued.
