Morgan Wallen teases new track, ‘Superman’
Morgan Wallen opening up in his new track.
The singer is getting actual about his previous—by means of the eyes of his 4-year-old son, Indigo Wilder.
The nation singer, 31, took to Instagram on Monday, Feb. 24, to share a snippet of his heartfelt new track, Superman, devoted to his little boy.
Writing in regards to the battle of capturing such deep feelings in lyrics, he admitted, “Been trying for a long time to write a song I loved to my son. None of them ever feel good enough because of how perfect I want something like this to be. And not saying this is perfect, but I am very proud of it.”
Within the track, Wallen displays on his missteps—together with his April arrest—and attracts a parallel between his struggles and people of the enduring DC superhero.
Superman is likely to be invincible, however even he has kryptonite—and, for Wallen, that’s been a bit an excessive amount of of “that bottle.”
“One day you’re gonna see my mugshot / From a night when I got a little too drunk,” he sings. “Hear a song about a girl I lost / From the times that I just wouldn’t grow up / And when you ain’t a kid no more / I hope you don’t think less of me / I try to hide my falling short / But you’re gonna see.”
Acknowledging his flaws, Wallen makes it clear that whereas he might not all the time “save the day,” his son can all the time rely on him.
“No, I don’t always save the day / But you know for you I’ll always try / I do the best I can / But Superman [is] still just a man sometimes.”
Wallen, who shares Indie with ex Katie “KT” Smith, has had a tumultuous few years.
In April 2024, he made headlines for throwing a chair off the roof of Chief’s Bar in Nashville.
The incident led to his arrest and, later, a December sentencing that included one week at a DUI schooling middle, two years of probation, and a $350 advantageous. Nonetheless, if he efficiently completes probation, his fees could also be dismissed and expunged.
Regardless of the setbacks, Wallen isn’t slowing down. In January, he introduced his upcoming fourth album, I’m the Drawback, together with a large stadium tour set to kick off in June.
By way of all of it, Wallen’s message to his son is evident—he’s human, he’s studying, and he’ll all the time be there.
