If you're anything like me, you've been biding your time for the next Morgan Wallen release.
Well, I have some wonderful news to share. He just debuted a brand new single in front of a roaring crowd in Baltimore. As reported by Whiskey Riff, he revealed it on July 17.
Before playing the song to fans, he gave a bit of backstory behind it. "I just had a few weeks off the tour so you all know me, I can't help but work a little bit," he mused. "I've been in the studio working on whatever's next."
He did however acknowledge that he wasn't sure about his next era exactly. But, he explained, "I do know that this song that I'm about to play right now is gonna be my very next single and it comes out on July 24."
The stadium erupted in cheers and screams and applause at the wonderful announcement!
Other than that, we know Wallen wrote this one alongside Charlie Handsome, John Byron, Blake Pendergrass, Rocky Block and Taylor Phillips. He announced its name as "Been By Now".
According to a video of the song posted on social media, the song appears to be about a rocky relationship. Give it a listen:

Some of the best lyrics are "If it was meant to be, we'd have been by now / We wouldn't have to keep trying to work that out". But, despite everything, they're "a breeze when the lights go down."

Of course, with a song as good as that, people were absolutely enamoured by it.
One fan in the crowd was particularly excited - as he announced the then-mysterious new track, she exclaimed, "Is he gonna sing it?!"
People in the comments shared that sentiment. One commenter wrote, "im jelous the way i love this song alrdy and it hasnt came out yet," with another commenter writing, "I have this song pre saved the moment it was available. eeeek I can't wait!!!!!!"
Other commenters were seemingly quite jealous (can you blame them?) One commenter lamented, "Ugh I knew I should've went last night, hopefully he plays it again tonight," with another saying, "I was hoping he'd play it in Clemson, but I decided to go to Philly and do the pit, hopefully he will play it then."
I'm counting down the days to Wallen's new release - are you?
