Luke Bryan is back in the top ten on the country charts this week with his latest single “What She Wants Tonight,” which Luke wrote along with Ross Copperman, Hillary Lindsey and Jon Nite.

The song is the second release from Bryan's upcoming studio album, Born Here, Live Here, Die Here, due April 24.

Luke told us of the song, "We were able to just really put a really great lyric (together) with a high energy track. When we came up with the hook – ‘She gets what she wants/and I get to be what she wants tonight,’ I was just, it just felt like something that could be played on the radio and it felt like something like that’s what women want to hear. They want to have a confident guy kind of singing to them in that way, and I hadn’t been this excited about a song in some time.”

Bryan is gearing up to back on American Idol on ABC. He posted to Instagram a few days ago, "No one does it like @ryanseacrest. Two weeks ‘til we’re back! @americanidol @katyperry @lionelrichie."
