"Where the Wild Things Are" is a song written by Randy Montana and Dave Turnbull, and recorded by American country music singer Luke Combs. It was released on October 16, 2023 as the third single from his fourth studio album Gettin' Old.
History and content
Songwriters Randy Montana and Dave Turnbull wrote "Where the Wild Things Are" several years prior to it being recorded by Combs. According to Combs in an interview with the blog Country Now, the song was originally submitted to Eric Church, who declined to record it. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country thought the song had "outlaw" imagery and noted it to be one of the few "storytelling" songs in Combs's discography.
Commercial performance
"Where the Wild Things Are" peaked at number three on the BillboardCountry Airplay chart in late February 2024, becoming Combs's second single to miss the number one spot on that chart, and with a number four peak on Hot Country Songs, it was his first single to miss the top spot on either. It did, however, reach number one on the Canada Country chart.
