Speaking with Today, Morris confirmed that she will be taking a step back from performing after her current dreamGIRL Tour. She wants to spend time with her son and focus on music. That tour wraps up in August in Nashville.
"This is sort of my last tour for a bit, because I want to be able to free think more and be in the studio more, and just figure out what I want to say next," Morris said. "It's been 10 years of touring, so no real time to stop and truly be creative unless I carve out the time."
Morris stopped in on the program to promote HERO: A Second Wind, an expanded anniversary album. She recorded news songs, including "Hard Liquor and Soft Rock" and "We Can't Be Friends."

She's looking forward to spending time with her son as well.
"I'm excited to home a little bit more after this run," Morris said. "So we'll do this string of shows, knock it out, and I'll go home. My son is starting kindergarten and I really wanted to be off the road when that began. I'll just get back in the studio and figure out what the eff happens next."
She's looking forward to doing Broadway in the future as well.
"I feel like Broadway - it's just a storytelling medium and you get more time," the singer said. "So I would love to do something like that, write for a musical."
More recently, she reunited with ex Ryan Hurd for "We Can't Be Friends."
"What a hilarious song for us to be revisiting... This is why we can't be friends, and it's, like, this hookup song," said Morris. "I just love the song, and I always have. It was so fun the day we that wrote it with Caitlyn [Smith], and I was like, 'I don't want to let it go. I want to give it some love and let people hear it — like, a real version of it.'"
