Morgan Wallen released three new songs from his just-announced third studio album, One Thing At A Time

On Tuesday (Jan. 31), the East Tennessee native shared a trio of tunes, including “Everything I Love,” “Last Night” and the previously teased tune, “I Wrote The Book.” The set of new songs is just a taste of what’s to come on his highly-anticipated new album, which follows his record-breaking sophomore project, Dangerous: The Double Album.

“Everything I Love”

The tune, which was written by Wallen alongside Ashley Gorley, ERNEST and Ryan Vojtesak, finds Wallen singing about how an ex-lover “ruined damn near everything” he loved as everything he does reminds him of her, from fishing to drinking whiskey to hitting the dive bars and even driving to his hometown.

“Wish I would’ve known that by now / you’d be good and gone / And you’d leave us / In a cloud of dust / Can’t you see what you’re doin’ girl / You ruined damn near everything I love,” Wallen sings on the chorus.

“Everything I Love” also contains interpolation from the Allman Brothers Band’s “Midnight Rider,” which was written by Gregg Allman, Robert Kim Payne.

“Last Night”

“Last Night” was co-written by HARDY, Mark Holman and Ashley Gorley. “I know that last night we let the liquor talk  / I can’t remember everything we said but we said it all / You told me that you wish I was somebody you never met / But baby, baby somethin’s tellin’ me this ain’t over yet / No way it was our last night / No way it was our last night,” Wallen sings on the tune’s first chorus. 

“I Wrote The Book”

Co-written by Wallen alongside HARDY and Cameron Montgomery, the reflective track begins with Wallen singing about all the things he excels at, such as fishing, hunting, baseball and more, which he details he could write a novel about. “When it comes to hitching the boat up / backing down the ramp / in my old truck / to find a bunch of logs / to catch a bunch of hogs / yeah, I wrote the book, yeah, I wrote the book / If you want to learn to throw a curve right / catch a clean up looking on a third strike / talk a little smack while he’s walking back / yeah, I wrote the book.”

As the song continues, Wallen realizes there’s more important things in life he struggles with or is a novice at. “But there’s one that lays by the lamp on the night stand / One that says don’t cuss and don’t fight / Or let the bottle turn you into a devil man / But damn if I don’t do it every Friday night / Those get you into Heaven words written in red / Ain’t getting read enough to keep me on the straight line / I’m a jack of all trades, but man I gotta say / That’s one book I didn’t write.”

On Monday (Jan. 30), the country superstar took to social media to announce his brand-new album, One Thing At A Time.

Arriving on March 3, One Thing At A Time will feature 36 new songs, including duets with Eric Church, HARDY and ERNEST. Wallen’s sister Ashlyne will also make an appearance on the project, singing harmonies on the song titled “Outlook.”

“I grew up in church singing three-part harmonies with my two sisters. That’s how I learned to sing, so this was a full-circle moment for Ashlyne and me,” Wallen continued.

The 36-track project follows the December release of Wallen’s three-song One Thing At A Time – Sampler, which included “One Thing At A Time,” “Days That End In Why,” and “Tennessee Fan.”

One Thing At A Time will showcase Wallen’s wide range of musical influences as well as combine his love for country, rock and hip-hop.

“This record represents the last few years of my life, the highs and the lows,” Wallen said in a press release. “It also brings together the musical influences that have shaped me as an artist – country, alternative and hip-hop.”

“I just try to tell it how it is – the good, the bad, the love, the heartbreak. That’s all I know how to do,” Wallen admitted. “My hope is that this album makes my fans proud; makes ’em laugh, smirk, cry, and think – just like it did for me.”

Also included on the much anticipated project are several previously teased tunes such as “Ain’t That Some,” “Whiskey Friends,” “Keith Whitley,” “Me + All Your Reasons,” as well as latest No. 1 hit, “You Proof,” and his current single, “Thought You Should Know.”

“There are 36 songs on this album because we just kept exploring with fresh lyrics, music and production ideas and these are the songs that felt right to me,” Wallen added. “It was a blast to create, and I was so grateful to be back in the studio to lay this out for my fans.”

The project’s album art holds family significance for Wallen as the photo was captured at the home of his late Mamaw (grandmother) in Sneedville, Tennessee. “My Mamaw Boots helped raise me. I had such a special bond with her, so I wanted to honor her with this new record,” Wallen said.

Marking one of the largest tours of 2023 so far and the biggest tour of Wallen’s career, the 63-show trek will visit 30 stadiums, plus arenas, amphitheaters and festivals to fans across four countries and two continents. The trek will feature support from ERNEST and Bailey Zimmerman on all dates. HARDY and Parker McCollum will also appear on select dates.

After making his stadium debut with a record-breaking show at Globe Life Field in Texas, Wallen will visit several ballparks throughout North America, including New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, Milwaukee’s American Family Field, Chicago’s Wrigley Field, Boston’s Fenway Park and more.

Produced by Live Nation, the North American leg of the trek will wrap up on October 7 at Tacoma Dome in Washington.

The One Night At A Time World Tour comes after Wallen’s highly successful Dangerous Tour, which included more than 50 sold-out shows. The record-breaking trek broke records at 30 venues across the U.S. during its 8-month-long run, including historic sellouts at 11 venues, while simultaneously breaking attendance records with stops at XFINITY Theatre, AmericanBank Center and Darien Lake Amphitheater.

In an effort to give back to those in need, Wallen will donate $3 of every ticket sold on the U.S. dates to the More Than My Hometown Foundation. Established in 2021, the foundation benefits causes near and dear to the superstar’s heart, including organizations such as Greater Good Music, Children Are People, the Salvation Army, and the National Museum of African American Music.
