The new song, dubbed "Ain't No Cowboy" by fans on social media, was performed solo by Combs on Dec. 17 at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand.
A clip of Combs' performance was uploaded to TikTok, featuring Combs singing of a man longing for a lost relationship in the new ballad.
“Ain’t no cowboy, but I wish I was / We would’ve rode off together / In the setting sun / Instead of watching her / Ride right out of my mind," Combs sings in the new song. "If I could have roped her heart back / I could have been what she needed when / She saddled up, and she kicked up a pile a dust."
"Ain’t no cowboy / But now I wish I was”
The performance has left fans speculating whether he will once again perform the song tonight during his second performance in Eden Park.
