The Real Meaning Behind Luke Bryan's 'Down To One'

Publish date: 2024-03-25

Luke Bryan released "Down To One" in August 2020; a love song about a couple spending some quality time together, but neither want the moment to end.

When he sings, per Genius, "Thinkin' I want more than just one night out here with you alone / Down to that last Bud Light / In the back of that two-tone half-ton/My heart was tellin' me that one more kiss and I'd be done / Down to one hand in mine / Down to one beautiful smile/ I was done with the girl I want / Straight fallin' in love, right there that night," it's obvious he's thinking about his love interest and nothing else. He also hints that there's nothing wrong with falling in love quickly.

Bryan opened up about the song in an interview with CMT in February. "First time I heard it — it's written by one of my dear friends Dallas Davidson who I've had a lot of success with as a co-writer with through the years — it just sounds like a big ole hit," he said. "'Down To One' is a real like typical song of mine that you kind of expect from me from the years ... guy and a girl out there, in the middle of nowhere enjoying a moment together, a romantic moment, and I always feel like you gotta have those on an album." Perhaps fans will hear the tune in Las Vegas soon!
