Megan Moroney is teasing new music, and I LOVE this song.
She shared a demo of a tune she just wrote called “28th of June,” which is a breakup song as the date signifies an old anniversary, though she and the guy are no longer together.
Meg recalls how last summer she and her ex spent the evening exchanging cards and having a romantic night with “rose petals on the bed,” and this year, it’s “just another Tuesday”:
“28th of June it was me and you
Rose petals on the bed and I love you
Written on a ‘Happy one year’ card,
Here’s to forever you have my heart
Drank a bottle of red and opened up another
Danced around the room holdin’ on to each other
Like we were never gonna let go
I was too naive to know
Just cuz something’s good don’t mean it lasts”
I love the perspective and the way this song was written, or at least the part she shared on Instagram, and I really hope it makes the cut when it comes time to pick songs for the next album.
And actually, Meg commented on the post that she’s “almost done” writing her second album, which hopefully means we might get another full-length project from her sometime next year:
“Almost done writing my second record.”
The Georgia native released her debut studio album Lucky earlier this year, and it was easily one of my favorites from 2023.
You can listen to “28th of June” below, and I highly recommend doing so because it already sounds like a stone cold country heartbreaker:
Her current single at country radio is “I’m Not Pretty”:
