The singer-songwriter releases his latest single
Rising singer, songwriter and celebrated storyteller Michael Marcagi shares a heartfelt new single entitled “Flyover State” via Warner Records.
“‘Flyover State’ is a song about falling into the trap of imposter syndrome and feeling like you don’t belong,” Marcagi explains. “It’s about taking risks, going new places, and stepping out of your comfort zone”
As with each new release from Marcagi, he reveals the heart of the matter from the very onset, with the upbeat mandolin underscoring his emotionally charged delivery. Lyrically, he wrestles with the day-to-day grind, “I look around, and this life ain’t mine. I’m in the backseat watching the world pass me by.” A driving beat kicks in and uplifts the soaring refrain, “I’m stuck in a flyover state of mind.”
“Flyover State” lands in the wake of the recent fan-favorite “Midwest Kid,” “Keep Me Honest,” “Good Enough”—which was co-written by Wesley Schultz of The Lumineers—and “Tear It All Apart.”
Marcagi arrived on the scene in 2024 with his Warner Records debut EP American Romance. Its platinum-certified lead single, “Scared to Start,” reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, amassing more than four billion TikTok views and nearly 800 million global streams in the process.
Marcagi is currently on the road for a run of US headline dates. Shortly after wrapping up in the US, Marcagi will be supporting The Lumineers on their European and UK arena tour in April and May, and then will join Rainbow Kitten Surprise across the Southeastern US in June.
