MORGAN WALLEN

                                                               "Wasted On You"

                                                                Big Loud Records

There may be no more controversial artist in country music today than Morgan Wallen.  Similarly, there may be no more popular artist on the circuit either, as the Big Loud Records recording artist is on fire, with accolades, awards, and fans growing by the minute it seems.

Wallen’s latest release, “Wasted On You”, is his fourth radio single from his ‘Dangerous: The Double Album’, released in January 2021.  The song has already been certified 2X Platinum, having reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, debuting there after the release of the album.

The song is a heartbreak ballad, pure and simple, as it finds Wallen reflecting on his inability to “get over” his ex.  The intricacy of the lyrics, however, present another subject line, as well, as he comes to the realization about how much time and money that he wasted on a relationship that didn’t last.

For country music fans that don’t like Morgan Wallen – you won’t like this song.

For country music fans that love Morgan Wallen – you will love this song.

It finds the singer-songwriter right in his wheelhouse, where he has been on this entire double album from last January.  Co-written by Morgan along with Josh Thompson, Ernest K. Smith, and Ryan Vojtesa, this song a crooning ode to a love gone bad, finding an internal conflict (longing to find balance) between bitterness and sadness.

“I’ve wasted on you

All of this time and all of this money

All of these sorrys’ I don’t owe you honey

All of these miles on this Chevy and prayers in a pew, all them days

I spent wasted on you

Wasted on you”

Fresh off his ACM award for Album Of The Year, Wallen is on the road throughout the spring, summer and into the fall on his nationwide “The Dangerous Tour”, as well as appearances at some of the biggest country festivals of the year.
