Megan Moroney’s brand new album, Am I Okay? is officially out now, July 12th on all streaming platforms. Learn more and listen to the new album below.
Following in the footsteps of her stellar debut, 2023’s Lucky, Megan Moroney is back with her sophomore effort on Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records, Am I Okay?. Out now, the new collection is a clear next step for the rising superstar.
Produced by Kristian Bush (of Sugarland), each of the album’s fourteen tracks were written or co-written by Moroney, alongside the likes of Luke Laird, Jessie Jo Dillon, Jessi Alexander, Ashley Gorley, Liz Rose, Shane McAnally, and more. The result is an exhilarating release, proving that the Georgia native’s meteoric rise is only bound to continue.
Am I Okay? opens with its title track, a triumphant midtempo that finds her stronger on the other side of a breakup. Accompanied by a triumphant chorus of gang vocals, she’s moving on and moving up with someone better than her no-good ex. “I don’t feel like a sad song soundtrack, The old me doesn’t know how to feel about that,” She muses, chock with self-realization. “Am I okay? I think I’m okay.”
Much of the album deals with the universal themes of breaking up, making up, and moving on, without ever sounding sameish or repetitive. There’s the stirring “28th of June,” a piano-ballad about the bittersweet recollections of an anniversary after a relationship ends. “Today would’ve been a day that we’d celebrate,” She sings. “And now it’s just another Tuesday.”
“Third Time’s the Charm” finds her buoyant and optimistic as she falls in love again, hoping that the third love in her life will also be the final one. Meanwhile, the previously released “No Caller ID,” finds her eager to move on despite late night calls from an ex. Similarly, “I Know You” finds her admitting to herself that the man in her life isn’t a good one. It’s a sparse and stirring guitar ballad, her broken heart on full display.
“I know you, And you’re out sipping whiskey with some girl you barely know // While you’re texting me you miss me, say you’re sitting home alone // I’m two-thousand miles away and you can’t help that you can’t change, you’ll wake up with her in the bed I made”
Moroney can do ballads like a pro, but she can also sell an uptempo with fervor, evidenced on tracks like “Man on the Moon” and “Indifferent.” The latter is a gritty and guitar-driven anthem about moving on and no longer caring about a “guy who was more wrong than right,” finding herself happy to have found indifference. Likewise, “Man on the Moon” is a roaring rocket to the stratosphere, a surefire hit of pop-tinted country perfection. On the kiss-off tune, she’s moving on, ejecting someone from her life into another atmosphere.
“‘Yeah but he’s the kind of man I’d like a hundred thousand miles from here // ‘Cause he wants me and he needs space // Someone take this cowboy away // Somewhere far, let him fly // Out of this world and off my mind // C’mon there’s gotta be a rocket somewhere taking off soon // I think it’s time we put another man on the moon”
“Heaven by Noon” shows her contemplating life and loss, a poignant and touching wish that she had said and done more before someone passed on. “When I talked to you this morning, I said I’ll see you soon,” She sings, voice laced with emotion. “Would have said so much more, If I only knew, That you’d be in heaven by noon.” Meanwhile, “The Girls” is a true celebration of the female support system, its lyrics primed for Instagram videos and TikTok montages of special moments with the friends who can get you through anything.
Lyrically, Moroney and her co-writers truly stretched themselves on this album, notably on songs like the cheeky “Miss Universe” and “Mama, I Lied.” On the former, she’s happy that if she had to be dumped, it was for a beauty queen, while the latter finds her admitting some hidden truths to her mom. On the rootsy and old-school country ballad, she confesses many of her lies, with the most prominent being that her ex was a good guy.
“Noah” feels very early Taylor Swift, as the Georgia native teasingly sings about a high school sweetheart, while “Hope You’re Happy” is a bittersweet ballad that finds her wishing an ex well, while remaining blissfully ignorant of his life. She’s joined by the unmistakable Vince Gill here, who lends his smooth harmonies to the gorgeous track.
The album ends on a stunning note, Moroney strong yet vulnerable on “Hell of a Show.” Much like Taylor Swift’s, “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” the sparse ballad speaks to putting on a smile while aching inside. It’s a short and sweet ballad that speaks to the power of a performer, her vulnerable vocals floating over a sparse acoustic guitar as she pulls back the curtain between the public and private personas.
“Keep it together, I can keep it together, For the room full of people here who love me better // Than he could’ve, or would’ve, and should’ve I know, I guess you could say I put on a hell of a show // ‘Cause I’ll smile and I’ll sing and I’ll wave and repeat // And tonight I’ll cry myself to sleep”
Since bursting onto the music scene with “Tennessee Orange,” Megan Moroney has been making quite the name for herself. Am I Okay? proves that she’s much more than just okay, she’s arguably country’s next big superstar.

Megan Moroney’s new song “28th of June,” is out now, March 22nd, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
Roaring in like a rocket headed straight into the stratosphere, Megan Moroney is back with her new song, “Man On The Moon.” The new track, out now, is a sneak peek into her sophomore album, Am I Okay?, out July 12.
Written by Moroney along with Ashley Gorley, Casey Smith, and David “Messy” Mescon, the pop-tinged country-rock twanger is a surefire hit. Moroney is fed up with a noncommittal dude, beginning with “Houston, he’s the problem…”
The kiss-off track is punctuated with a peppy, hand-clapping beat as she ejects an ex quite literally out of her atmosphere, luring him into space with the promise of “a bar up there” and “blondes for days.”
“Yeah but he’s the kind of man I’d like a hundred thousand miles from here // ‘Cause he wants me and he needs space // Someone take this cowboy away // Somewhere far, let him fly // Out of this world and off my mind // C’mon there’s gotta be a rocket somewhere taking off soon // I think it’s time we put another man on the moon”
“Man on the Moon” is just a glimpse of what’s to come from Moroney, whose new album is due out July 12. Check back here then for our full album review.

Fun, honest, and raw, “Indifferent” feels like the perfect song for Moroney to be singing now.
“I-I would cry one, two, three too many times // Just wastin’ my prime on a guy who was more wrong than right // Now I don’t even know what I’m missin’ // Don’t know what it is or isn’t // Don’t need your attention (No), or your time // They said, “Did you hear?” // I say, “No thanks I’m fine” // I think I could wish you the best // The truth is I couldn’t care less // How sweet it is to be so (so), so indifferent”

2024 is slated to be an even bigger year for the rising star. “No Caller ID” marks just the beginning of the new era of music for Moroney.

Old Dominion and Megan Moroney share new song, “Can’t Break Up Now,” out now, August 18th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
There is nothing like a country music collaboration! Today platinum-selling group, Old Dominion collaborate with rising superstar, Megan Moroney on a brand new song. Their new song, “Can’t Break Up Now” is officially out now.
According to Old Dominion frontman, Matthew Ramsey, this song came to fruition because love is a hard and complicated emotion to embody. He shared in a recent press release,“In a world that is increasingly dominated by social media our attention spans are growing ever shorter. In the glow of our phones, it can be easy to miss the millions of little moments and memories that stack up to build a real love. That is, until you’re on the brink of losing it. That’s the picture we are painting with ‘Can’t Break Up Now.'”
Both Moroney and Old Dominion do an incredible job conveying the push-pull of having so much history with someone. Ramsey adds later, “[Megan’s] performance really reinforces waking up, realizing what you’ve got — and know it’s worth fighting for.” The song is a true reminder that we have to fight for the things and the people we love, even during hard times.
“Can’t Break Up Now” is one of the best collaborations of the year so far. Old Dominion and Moroney showcase both of their talents perfectly, and the track is one that is sure to imprint on all of our hearts.

Megan Moroney scores her first number one single at country radio with her debut song, “Tennessee Orange.” Get all the details here.
Megan Moroney is an absolute superstar in the making. Her debut album, Lucky is one of the best records of the year so far and her fall, headlining tour is already sold out. If that is not exciting enough, Moroney and her team are celebrating another exciting feat. This week, the songstress’ debut single to country radio, “Tennessee Orange” officially marks her first number one.
While all of Moroney’s songs truly display her staying power, “Tennessee Orange” was the song that made everyone stop and listen. As a Georgia girl, Moroney would typically never root for the Tennessee Volunteers, but as the song says, [she’s] “wearing Tennessee orange for him.” A love song at heart, the single is all about the things you will do for love.
“I met somebody and he’s got blue eyes // He opens the door and he don’t make me cry // He ain’t from where we’re from // But he feels like home, yeah // He’s got me doin’ things I’ve never done // In Georgia, they call it a sin // I’m wearing Tennessee orange for him”
Congratulations to Megan and her team on scoring their first number one at country radio! There will definitely be more to come.

Megan Moroney’s major-label debut album, Lucky is officially out now, May 5th on all streaming platforms. Learn more and listen to the new album below.
Since the release of 2022’s “Tennessee Orange,” Megan Moroney has been one of Nashville’s most buzzed about new talents. Today, the Sony Music Nashville/ Columbia Records’ recording artist released her debut album, Lucky, a compelling mix of lyrical prowess, infectious melodies, and traditional country twang.
As the follow up to her EP, Pistol Made of Roses, the Lucky LP is the next step for the Georgia native. Produced by Kristian Bush of Sugarland, the album allows her to flex her impressive songwriting skills, co-writing on each of the project’s thirteen tracks.
”After we wrote the title track ‘Lucky,’ I knew I wanted it to be the name of my debut album,” she explained in a press release. “If you know anything about me and my story, a lot of things (both good and bad) happened to get me to where I am today, and I just feel very lucky.”
From the first listen of the album, it’s glaringly apparent why she chose “Lucky” as the album’s title, as the track is truly an immediate standout. It’s a catchy, two-stepping, hand-clapping country tune about not being afraid to make bad decisions with an ex while drunk. However, the twist here is that it’s him who’s the lucky one, as she’s not afraid to give in when inebriated.
“Cause me my phone and the neon’s buzzin’ // Three four in and I’m missin’ your lovin’,” She sings. “We said naw never again// And we said we’d be better as friends // But come over and don’t overthink it // Tonight you’re lucky I’m drinkin.”
Throughout the album, most of the tracks center around relationship issues, broken hearts, and losing yourself in a relationship, but lyrically, Moroney does this differently than most. There’s the heartwrenching “Girl in the Mirror,” which finds her grappling with the fact that she no longer recognizes herself in the light of a relationship that may not be the best. “She loves the boy more than the girl in the mirror,” She sings on one of the album’s most poignant lyrics.
She’s more savage on “Sleep On My Side,” which has her tangled up with a Mr. Wrong, declaring that his wandering eye makes him not-so-right for her. “I sleep on my side and you sleep with everyone,” She muses. Likewise, the twangy “Georgia Girl” deals with a two-timer, as she mentions all of her man’s other women by the states they’re from.
“Kansas Anymore” is a sparse breakup ballad that finds her realizing that a relationship has ended with a play on the old adage that they’re “not in Kansas anymore,” while “Mustang on the Me” finds her wondering which will break down first as she literally and figuratively leaves an ex in the rearview mirror.
One of the album’s clear standouts is “Why Johnny,” which finds her musically chatting with June Carter Cash on her relationship with notorious womanizer, Johnny Cash. On the stripped ballad, she muses, “I think I’ve got a Johnny of my own,” asking the elder woman “What made you wanna make it work?” despite a man drowning himself in “booze and pills and perfume smells.”
It’s not all heartbreak on Lucky, as the album’s opener, “I’m Not Pretty,” finds the singer-songwriter playfully musing about all the untrue things her ex’s new flame may say about her.
“Somewhere out there my ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend’s scrolling through my Instagram // Tearing me down, passing the phone around like there’s nothing better to talk about // Zooming out, Zooming in, overanalyzin’ // Like the queen of the mean girls’ committee // But hey whatever helps // Keep on telling yourself I’m not pretty.”
“Another on the Way” is a sassy ode to moving on, as there’s always another man, and another drink, just around the corner, while “Traitor Joe” is a classic story song that has Moroney letting Joe know his girlfriend is cheating on him.
“Tennessee Orange” is an interesting juxtaposition of lyrics versus music as the instrumentation sounds downtrodden and dark, which has her proclaiming her love for her man through wearing his team’s, and her family’s rival’s, colors. “So ‘Tennessee Orange’ is about me being a Georgia girl. I was born and raised in Georgia and I graduated from the University of Georgia. And, I moved to Nashville for music and I met and fell for a Tennessee boy. So, this is kinda my version of a love song,” Megan explains.
The album ends with the lush and almost ethereal “Sad Songs for Sad People” which finds Moroney confused over writing a love song when she tends to thrive on the writing about broken hearts.
“I write sad songs for sad people // Something ’bout the pain // I want every word to hurt like blue eyes crying in the rain,” She proclaims. “They say do what you love and that’s just what I do // I write sad songs for sad people // But I wrote this love song for you.”
On Lucky, Megan Moroney continues to prove why she’s one of country music’s fastest rising stars. With a well-balanced mix of brilliant lyrics, classic country instrumentation and pop sensibilities, she toes the line perfectly in the vein of Maren Morris, Kelsea Ballerini, and even early Taylor Swift.
