Some of modern country's biggest artists jumped into the comments section to share their excitement. “Oh my god this is going to be incredible,” Luke Combs wrote. “I'm getting chills,” Kody Johnson said. “👀Very excited,” Cole Swindell commented. “I'm getting chills all over. I can't wait for this ❤️,” exclaimed Lauren Alaina.
More than 2,000 fans joined these country artists in the comments. Fans added to the conversation, “Randy is back?! This and Johnny Cash's new album is the best news I've ever received,” and “I didn't have this on my bingo card.”

He shared a second video on TikTok that includes a 36-second clip of the new song. “It's been a long time since our last new recording, but we're excited to share with you that this Friday, May 3rd, we'll be releasing our first brand new studio recording in over 10 years, 'Where That Came From.' he said.
