Soaring country star rolls dice with new song
Placing a fun-loving bet on a late-night romance, Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records’ rising star Megan Moroney delivers the title track, “Lucky,” from her forthcoming debut album, due May 5th. The track is available across all streaming platforms and digital retailers with the visualizer below.
Co-written by Moroney with Casey Smith, Ben Williams, and David “Messy” Mescon, the Kristian Bush-produced song “Lucky” gambles on pour decisions as it finds a young woman choosing a surefire fix for her lonely heart with a former flame – at least temporarily. With buzzy guitar riffs, saloon-style pianos, and a shuffle beat – plus Moroney’s electrifying vocal as she sings, “Cause me my phone and the neon’s buzzing / three four in and I’m missing your loving / We said naw never again / and we said we’d be better as friends / but come over and don’t overthink it / Tonight you’re lucky I’m drinking” – the up-tempo luck-struck tune mixes classic twang with a contemporary mindset.
Catapulting onto the country music scene with “Tennessee Orange,” the viral breakout hit is verging on Top 20 at country radio, and has secured Moroney’s first CMT Music Awards nominations – as she’s vying for Breakthrough Female Video of the Year for her Jason Lester-directed clip and CMT Digital-First Performance of the Year for her CMT Viral To Verified performance. The 2023 CMT Music Awards airs live on April 2nd from the Moody Center in Austin, TX from at 8-11 pm ET/PT on CBS and will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
Moroney kicks off her sold out first headlining Pistol Made of Roses Tour next month, and she’s also slated to support country music icons Brooks & Dunn this summer.
