Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd’s love story had all the makings of a great country song before they split. Morris and Hurd met while writing Tim McGraw’s song “Last Turn Home” in 2013. The pair remained friends for two years before their relationship turned romantic. Hurd detailed their journey in (…).
‘cut!’
The first single from this collection of songs, Morris stop She powerfully proves that “every good show needs a break” as she sings during the track’s bridge.
“‘Cut!’ is about me taking care of myself during the day, getting plenty of rest, not having a hair out of place, not canceling plans with friends, because I want people to think I’m doing so well,” she shared in a press release. “Maybe all of that is true, but at night, I take off my mask and scream or break down and let the steam out of the kettle.”
‘I hope you don’t fall in love’
Us We got our first taste of the track before its official release in July. Coming shortly after her divorce, the song details Morris’s thoughts on relationships. She called the song “the afterglow of a s—tshow” on Instagram.
“It’s a bittersweet heartbreak to be in self-preservation mode but still wanting to feel something. Throwing parties, going home to strangers, popping champagne, whatever it is you need to do to process your trauma is not a pretty path to healing,” she writes. “Of course I want to fall in love again, but I can’t commit to it yet. So here’s a song about this weird but constructive (and destructive) window in my life.”
‘Push me’
Morris came out as bisexual as June, and the song seems to be part of her sexual awakening.
“I’ve been waiting for a night like this / West Side, red lips / We can test my hypothesis / Your hands, my ass,” the first verse sings. Morris then sings about “the way I smell your perfume later,” before diving into a sexy chorus.
“I don’t need no more friends, I want you in my bed / The closer you come, the more I want you to push me away,” she sings. “It feels good to sit on the fence between my legs / The closer you come, the more I want you to push me away.”
‘Because, of course.’
It’s unclear exactly what Morris’ intentions are with the song, but there appears to be a callback to her 2020 song “Better Than We Found It” in the first verse.
Maren Morris isn’t afraid to use her voice, even if it means speaking out against her country stars. Morris first entered the country music scene in 2015 with her self-titled EP. Since then, she’s been making music and headlines. The “Circles Around This Town” singer (…)
“I’m not a mathematician/But the world did big things to you,” she sings. You could argue she’s singing to her son Hayes, especially when the chorus ends with the line, “I’ll always love you, ’cause, of course.”
‘How a Woman Leaves’
Morris has remained tight-lipped so far about the details surrounding his split from Heard, but the track sees the musician sharing the ups and downs of her past marriage.
“Close your eyes and listen carefully to me, as if you knew me before, as if you don’t know me anymore,” she begins the track. “Smile as if you understand me, as if you don’t understand me, as if you don’t understand me.”
Elsewhere in the song, Morris sings, “I don’t need to prove to you how nice I’ve been to you.” As she continues into the chorus, Morris packs a huge punch.
“I ain’t tryin’ to be friends, all I want is for you to get out of my mind, out of my head, that’s the way a girl leaves,” the lyrics read, “You’re killing me, but you’re gonna make it look easy enough for me to believe. Look me in the eye, and tell me you’re surprised.”
The last verse of this song also leaves a big impression.
“It’s impudent to ask why I don’t cry,” Morris sings. “I lay down next to you and cried.”
