‘Wanted To Crawl Into A Hole’: Luke Combs Recalls When Tracy Chapman Claimed He Botched Her Song’s Lyrics While Recording His Cover

Country artist Luke Combs recorded a cover of Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car that recently earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Country Solo Performance. He admitted that he flubbed a lyric, and it was Champman herself who pointed out his mistake.  

In the middle of his recent concert, Combs recalled the error that would haunt him forever. In a TikTok video posted by a concertgoer, the singer revealed that instead of singing the lyric “We gotta make a decision,” he mistakenly recorded it as “Still gotta make a decision.” He told the crowd that realization hit him amid his conversation with Chapman. 

“That was the first time that I knew that I recorded the song incorrectly,” he recalled.  “It was her telling me that. Because I remember when she said that, I wanted to crawl into a hole.” Fortunately, she was cool about it, yet he couldn’t help but think about it every time he sang the song. “I will think about it every single time I sing this song for the rest of my whole life,” he added. 

Combs then informed the attendees that he would sing the original version and chuck his recorded version. “So tonight, I’m going to sing ‘We gotta make a decision.’ Because Tracy Chapman told me to, and dammit, I’m gonna do it,” he added. The Grammy-nominated singer released his cover of the 1988 iconic country song in April 2023, and it quickly became a fan favorite.  

It reached no. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, topped the country music charts, and earned the singer several accolades. At the 66th annual Grammy Awards in February, Combs—who was nominated that night—performed the song with the OG creator, Chapman. Speaking to Billboard before their performance, the latter said she was happy to see that people are enjoying the song 30 years later. 

“I never expected to find myself on the country charts, but I’m honored to be there,” she said at the time. “I’m happy for Luke and his success and grateful that new fans have found and embraced ‘Fast Car,’” Chapman added.

THROWBACK: When Priyanka Chopra revealed her rule of marriage with Nick Jonas; ‘Wherever we are in the world…’

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are one of the well-known couples in Bollywood. They have been happily married for more than six years. In a previous discussion, the Citadel actress revealed a fascinating rule they follow since tying the knot. She mentioned that regardless of where they are in the world, they make it a point to spend a couple of days together at least once a month.

In an interview with Elle UK back in 2021, Priyanka Chopra revealed an interesting rule of her marriage with Nick Jonas. The actress reflected on how the two manage time for each other, considering their tight schedules because of the professional setting. She shared that no matter whichever corner of the world they’re in; they fly once a month to meet each other for a couple of days.

“We see each other every three weeks,” she explained, matter-of-factly. “Wherever we are in the world, we fly to each other at least once a month for a couple of days. It was our rule when we first got married. Otherwise, we’d never see each other.”

The actress further humorously mentioned that not just them, but rather their teams also had to get married. She explained that they had to talk to each other discussing each other’s schedule and noted that it was a big marriage where not just them but their teams and families were also involved.

On various occasions, the actress is seen documenting adorable family pictures with her husband and daughter. Just a few days back, the Desi Girl had also shared endearing moments from her Karwa Chauth, Diwali, and Halloween celebrations that dished major family goals.

Priyanka and Nick tied the nuptial knot in an extravagant wedding ceremony at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur in December 2018. The couple followed both Hindu and Christian ceremonies on their D-Day. They welcomed their first child, a daughter who they named, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas in January 2022 through surrogacy.

On the work front, PeeCee has an exciting line-up of projects, including Heads Of State and The Bluff in the pipeline. She is currently busy working on the second season of her beloved American series, Citadel.
