Doin' This

Combs released "Doin' This" after he performed at the 2021 CMA Awards. In a press release, Combs stated that regardless how much money or success he had, singing and songwriting was "always the plan for his life": "There was never a plan B. Once I decided that this is what I was gonna do, it's what I was gonna do whether that was at this level or at the level that I was at when I started. Music is the thing that I think makes everybody who does what I do's blood pump and gets them out of bed in the morning, and just to be able to do that and write a song about it that you feel like genuinely can connect with some of your peers is really cool".{{cite web|url=https://vermilioncountyfirst.com/2021/11/16/luke-combs-says-he-always-knew-hed-be-doin-this/|title=Luke Combs Says He Always Knew He'd Be 'Doin' This'|work=Vermilion County First|date=November 16, 2021|access-date=November 27, 2021}}

Jon Freeman of Rolling Stone described the song as "an ode to making music regardless of any fame or riches".{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/luke-combs-new-song-doin-this-cma-awards-1256766/|title=Luke Combs Sings for the Love of Music in New Song 'Doin' This'|magazine=Rolling Stone|last=Freeman|first=Jon|date=November 11, 2021|access-date=November 27, 2021}} Tricia Despres of Taste of Country stated that the lyrics means "whether he was playing in some no-name town or on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, Combs would be doing exactly this: Playing music for all who will listen".{{cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/luke-combs-new-song-doin-this-cma-awards-1256766/|title=Luke Combs Keeps Promise, Debuts New Song 'Doin' This' at 2021 CMA Awards|work=Taste of Country|last=Despres|first=Tricia|date=November 10, 2021|access-date=November 27, 2021}}

TA Films created the music video for "Doin' This." The video takes a "behind the scenes" approach, with a director asking Combs "If you could be doing anything, what would you be doing if you weren't doing this?" The question prompts Combs to "recall a time when a journalist asked him the very same question during an interview". Combs then goes on to tease a stadium tour and introduce his friend Adam Church, who will be joining him on his tour.{{cite web|url=https://countrynow.com/watch-luke-combs-teases-stadium-tour-in-just-released-doin-this-music-video/|title=WATCH: Luke Combs Teases Stadium Tour In Just-Released 'Doin' This' Music Video|work=Country Now|last=Goldstein|first=Tiffany|date=November 10, 2021|access-date=November 27, 2021}} Church, who is also a country music singer, attended Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina with Combs and McLonghorn. Combs stated to Taste of Country that Church is "a married father with an ordinary 9 to 5 kind of job who also fills up bars in western Carolina. He's a pretty big deal in Boone, N.C".{{cite web|url=https://tasteofcountry.com/adam-church-luke-combs-interview-doin-this/|title=Luke Combs' Friend Adam Church Surprised and Grateful to Star in 'Doin' This' Music Video|work=Taste of Country|last=Duke|first=Billy|date=November 24, 2021|access-date=November 27, 2021}} The other parts show "the life of a small-town guy who never made it big", who, at the end of the video, "winds up sitting on his couch with his acoustic guitar and playing a show for two VIPS — his wife and young daughter" before Combs "welcomes him out onto a big stage to perform with him".{{cite web|url=https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/luke-combs-drops-song-doin-announces-1st-stadium-81130531|title=Luke Combs drops new song 'Doin' This,' announces 1st headlining stadium tour|work=Good Morning America|last=Liptak|first=Carena|date=November 12, 2021|access-date=November 27, 2021}}
