Did you know one of Luke Combs’ most emotional songs is based on just 15 minutes? This deep song, “15 Minutes,” came out on his ‘The Prequel’ EP in October 2025. The whole idea is the short phone call time a person in prison gets with their family. It is a simple fact that makes the song hit so hard.
The song shows a side of Luke that is much different from his fun party songs. It is sung through the eyes of a man serving a life sentence, as he calls his mother. He asks heartbreaking questions like whether his dad will ever talk to him again and about God’s forgiveness.

Fans immediately connected with the sad story. One viewer wrote that the song reminds corrections officers that “inmates are people just like you and I.” Another viewer shared a powerful story about their mom taking all their calls while they were waiting for trial, showing how real this feeling is for many families.
The fan reaction to “15 Minutes” was huge after Luke first teased it in the summer of 2025. Fans had already loved his raw “unreleased original” version, and their love is what pushed him to release the song officially. This is a typical pattern for him, and it is the exact reason why another emotional song is so famous.

That other song is “Ever Mine,” an unreleased original from December 2020. This song is just as powerful, written as a soldier’s letter home to his wife during a war. He tells her he is “ever yours, you’re ever mine,” making a promise that even battle cannot break. Fans keep asking for a full studio version.
