Morgan Wade has another heater coming our way very soon.
She just announced a new song called “2AM in London” will be out everywhere this Friday, and she even shared a little teaser of it on Instagram.
As far as I know, Morgan has only played it once or maybe a few times (at most) live, notably at Fire on the Mountain Fundraiser in her hometown of Floyd, Virginia at Floyd Country Store last December in what was a gorgeous acoustic rendition.
It immediately caught my attention from the first listen, and is right in her wheelhouse in terms of subject matter that finds her missing someone special who’s back home in the states, laying awake in the middle of the night because of jet lag, wishing she could just go home and be with them.
Morgan most recently put out her amazing sophomore album Psychopath in 2023, and it was easily one of my favorite albums from last year, and this new single stands to be no different.
With such beautifully authentic, honest songwriting and an ability to convey those feelings so meaningfully with her twangy, gritty voice, Morgan simply doesn’t miss and whether she’s leaning into her rock sensibilities or keeping it decidedly more country on a song like this, I always seem to love it.
Friday can’t come soon enough…
“‘2AM in London.’ Pre-save now (link in story and bio). Coming Friday.”

And I cannot recommend highly enough checking out the full acoustic performance. It’s stunning:
