Let alone answer fans\u2019 questions about it. But that\u2019s exactly what he did on Friday morning (March 29), right after he shared the new tune, \u201cKnockin\u2019 Boots.\u201d And would you believe that even at his level of stardom, Bryan admitted that he still gets anxious when he plays new music for fans?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s always an anxiety level. You\u2019re very anxious, because you\u2019re wanting to hear feedback from your fans. And the most important thing is that you\u2019re always trying to grow musically, change things and do things a little different because you don\u2019t want to bore everybody with the same stuff over and over,\u201d Bryan said in the quick Q&amp;A. \u201cSo that makes it a little stressful: to see if the fans are on board with the way you\u2019ve changed some things about your music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other questions Bryan answered:<br \/><em><br \/>Favorite part of touring?<\/em><br \/>\u201cThere\u2019s like 100 amazing aspects, but walking out on stage, seeing the crowd for the first time and watching the fans react to the old music and to the new music. It\u2019s just a blast every single night. Touring and being on the road is a dream come true every time I\u2019m out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Getting excited for the summer tour?<\/em><br \/>\u201cTo be able to have a whole summer to be able to see (Cole) and see how his show has grown, and then obvioulsy I\u2019m excited for my buddy Jon Langston to get out there and get in front of you guys and learn a little more about touring and amphitheaters and stadiums. It\u2019s gonna be a great summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The sound of the new song?<\/em><br \/>\u201cIt\u2019s got kind of a retro sound \u2014 really just simple \u2014 and it lets my voice hopefully really carry the whole tune. Ready for the world to hear it now.\u201d<br \/><em><br \/>The biggest fish he\u2019s caught?<\/em><br \/>\u201cI\u2019m still on my quest for a 10-pound bass. I have never caught a 10-pound bass, but it\u2019s going to happen. The biggest fish I\u2019ve ever caught was like probably a 100-pound sailfish. And I\u2019ve caught some big grouper. I caught a 300-pound nurse shark one time. I\u2019ve caught a lot of fish, but I plan on do some marlin fishing one day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhich reminds me,\u201d he said when the session was over, \u201cI\u2019m going fishing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hillary Lindsey, Gordie Sampson and Jon Nite wrote the new song, and it will be on Bryan\u2019s next album due out later this year. His Sunset Repeat Tour starts on May 31 in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en\">Q: Hi Luke!
