Songfacts®:

• On this sultry track, Luke Combs sings about a woman who is the spark to his powder keg. Every time he made up his mind to walk away from their romance, one look from her collapses all his resolve. The song lands between the dependable comforts of "Beer Never Broke My Heart" and the emotional chaos of "Hurricane" as the moment he knowingly steps back into the storm because, frankly, the weather suits him.
• Of course, Combs is happily married to Nicole Hocking, so this isn't autobiography; it's performance. But like "Cold As You" or "Outrunnin' Your Memory," he delivers it with such lived-in conviction that you'd swear he's recounting a personal misadventure from last Thursday.
• Combs co-wrote "Rethink Some Things" alongside Jacob Davis, Dan Isbell, and Reid Isbell.
  
  Jacob Davis is the brother of country singer Jordan Davis and co-wrote Jordan's CMA Song of the Year winner "Buy Dirt."
  
  Dan and Reid Isbell - known collectively as The Brothers Hunt - are two of Nashville's most prolific country songwriters and hosts of the outdoor/music podcast God's Country. They previously co-wrote Combs' smash hit "The Kind of Love We Make" - their first collaborative #1 together - and Dan also has credits on Combs' hits "Better Together," "Love You Anyway" and "Back In The Saddle."
  
  The songwriting reunion between Combs and the Isbell brothers gives "Rethink Some Things" a natural kinship with "The Kind of Love We Make": both songs sharing that same simmering, sensual energy.
• Combs previewed "Rethink Some Things" on Instagram in January 2026, with the snippet making the rounds online two months before it was included on his sixth album, The Way I Am.
• The song was produced by Luke Combs, Jonathan Singleton, and Chip Matthews, Combs' core production team across The Way I Am.
