Aspiring country music singer Ethan Payne met Luke Bryan back in 2016 through Make-a-Wish. Check out his 'American Idol' audition!
Country music superstar and American Idol judge Luke Bryan got a pleasant surprise while conducting auditions in Iowa, he was reunited with his previous Make-a-Wish recipient, 15-year-old Ethan Payne!
The two first crossed paths in late 2016 when Payne’s wish to meet the star in person was granted. During their meeting, Bryan decided to invite the young Georgia native to join him on stage in concert to perform “Do I” in front of the crowd. The teen, who suffers from cystic fibrosis, also walked away with the star’s own guitar. Obviously that encounter stuck with Ethan and his passion for music has only grown deeper!
Watch Ethan Payne cover Luke Bryan’s “Do I” with the star below!
Ethan Payne and Luke Bryan made the most of their reunion and the budding artist easily convinced all three judges to invite him to Hollywood!
Congrats to this inspiring young man! Share this moment with other country music fans!
“Do I” Lyrics
Baby what are we becoming
It feels just like we’re always running
Rolling through the motions everyday
I could lean in to hold you, or act like I don’t even know you
Seems like you could care less either way
What happened to that girl I used to know
I just want us back to the way we were before
Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby
Does the sight of me wanting you drive you crazy
Do I have your love, am I still enough
Tell me don’t I, or tell me do I, baby
Give you everything that you ever wanted
Would you rather just turn away and leave me lonely
Do I just need to give up and get on with my life
Baby, do I
Remember when we didn’t have nothing
But a perfect simple kind of loving
Baby those sure were the days
There was a time our love ran wild and free
Now I’m second guessing everything thing I see
Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby
Does the sight of me wanting you drive you crazy
Do I have your love, am I still enough
Tell me don’t I, or tell me do I, baby
Give you everything that you ever wanted
Would you rather just turn away and leave me lonely
Do I just need to give up and get on with my life
Baby, do I
Still give you what you need
Still take your breath away
Light up the spark way down deep, baby do I
Whoa,
Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby
Does the sight of me wanting you drive you crazy
Do I have your love, am I still enough
Tell me don’t I, or tell me do I baby
Give you everything that you ever wanted
Would you rather just turn away and leave me lonely
Do I just need to give up and get on with my life
Tell me baby do I get one more try
Do I, baby do I
