The song drops ahead of his debut album
Multi No. 1 hit songwriter John Morgan drops the final preview of his debut album, Carolina Blue, out April 25th, with the stunning “Kid Myself.” As his party starter smash “Friends Like That” featuring Jason Aldean surges into the Top 5 at country radio, the rising star’s breathtaking track travels back to a regretful decision that cut a relationship short.
The final preview of Carolina Blue examines the tough but mature truth behind the past, pairing the tactful artist’s distinctly bold, emotive vocal delivery and striking, unexpected lyricism. With a delicately thoughtful spin on words, “Kid Myself” was written by John, Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line and Jordan Schmidt (Morgan Wallen, Hardy, Ernest).
“‘Kid Myself’ was the first time I ever wrote with Tyler Hubbard,” John shares. “I was so nervous the night before because I knew I had to come into the writing room with a good idea, or he might never write with me again. Luckily, I threw out ‘Kid Myself,’ and Tyler and Jordan both loved it. This song is about my life before I moved to Nashville and a past relationship that might have been the one – had I been ready for it. Ultimately though, it’s about forgiving yourself.”
The boldly gritty North Carolina native will deliver a tantalizing robust 12-track debut. A brilliantly curated collection of songs, the authentically humble and tenaciously driven powerhouse artist not only co-wrote every track and played every guitar, but he also co-produced it alongside Brent Anderson.
The captivating entertainer will open for Chase Matthew, bring the heat to Tortuga Music Festival and Stagecoach, and hit the road with Kane Brown this year.
