"Six Feet Apart" is a song recorded by American country music singer Luke Combs. It was released on May 1, 2020 as a direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Combs wrote the song with Brent Cobb and Rob Snyder, and it was added to the digital version of his second album, What You See Is What You Get.

Before the pandemic had hit, Combs was scheduled to meet with songwriters Brent Cobb and Rob Snyder on April 14 for a writing session. Combs said that all three of them had wanted to write a song about the COVID-19 pandemic, but he was initially apprehensive because he thought the concept would be "too cheesy". Combs then uploaded an acoustic version of the song to YouTube, and after the video trended on that site, he also performed the song on the Grand Ole Opry. Combs then recorded a studio version as well, and he noted that during the recording session, everyone involved wore masks and was in a different room. The studio version of the song was officially sent to country radio on May 1, 2020.[1][2] The song has a theme of missing major activities such as the arrival of the spring season, and touring as a musician, due to the pandemic.[3]
