Last Friday (7th June), Sony Music Nashville/ Columbia Records singer/songwriter, Megan Moroney shares her new song, “Man on the Moon” – an anthem for shaking off someone who won’t stop sending mixed signals. The latest in a series of can’t-miss releases from the Country superstar, “Man on the Moon” will appear on Megan’s immensely anticipated sophomore album Am I Okay? which is due out on Friday 12th July.

Written by Megan Moroney, Ashley Gorley, Casey Smith, and David “Messy” Mescon, “Man on the Moon” marks one of the most fun-loving and free-spirited tracks on Am I Okay? In a departure from the soul-baring songwriting that’s earned her the nickname the Emo Cowgirl, the Country-Rock bop flaunts her more playful side as Megan takes on a man who can’t make up his mind. By the time she reaches the chorus, Megan has found the perfect solution to her frustrations. Once again proving her incredible power as a lyricist, Megan infuses every moment of “Man on the Moon” with so much heart and raw emotion – even as she tosses off one killer line after another.
Produced by Megan’s frequent collaborator Kristian Bush who handled production for all of Am I Okay?, “Man on the Moon” matches the whip-smart wit of her storytelling with a fittingly fiery sound. As she lays down a glorious vocal performance packed with plenty of attitude, the unstoppably catchy and hand-clap-fueled track unfolds in swinging rhythms, smoldering steel guitar, soulful B-3 organ, and a wildly blazing guitar solo at the bridge.
Fresh off her debut appearance on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where she delivered a stunning rendition of Am I Okay?’s “No Caller ID” – Megan is now gearing up to take the stage at Nissan Stadium and the Chevy Riverfront Stage as part of CMA Fest 2024. On Tuesday 25th June, fans can check out Moroney’s must-see performances when CMA Fest airs on ABC.
Along with “Man on the Moon” and “No Caller ID”, a January release that set the record for the biggest Country female song debut in streams in the U.S., racking up 8.4 MILLION global streams in its first week alone – Am I Okay? will include “28th of June” (a heart-melting piano ballad about the pain of honoring a would-be anniversary) and “Indifferent” (a larger-than-life anthem that captures the pure thrill of realizing you’ve finally gotten over your ex).
One of the most highly awaited albums of 2024, Am I Okay? arrives on the heels of Megan’s blockbuster debut Lucky, a critically acclaimed LP that landed on best-of-the-year lists from major outlets like The New York Times and Rolling Stone and featured smash hits like 2X PLATINUM, No. 1 breakout single, “Tennessee Orange” and chart-rising Country radio single, “I’m Not Pretty.”
