Maren Morris hopes “I never fall in love again,” she said as she shared a sneak peek of an unreleased track on her EP that’s set to release next month.
Morris shared a 15-second clip of “I Hope I Never Fall In Love” on Instagram and TikTok on Tuesday afternoon (July 2). The Grammy Award winner said the song is “a situationship in sonic form,” and it’s “coming soon to ruin your life.” Morris responded to one TikTok commenter, “get in loser we’re going healing.”
Morris released the first song from her 5-track EP, “Cut!,” on June 21. She described the collaboration with Julia Michaels as a song “about me holding myself together through the day, looking well-rested, not a hair out of place, not canceling any plans with friends because that’s how well I want you to think I’m doing. Perhaps those things are all true, but at night I let the mask slip and let myself scream or fall apart to let the steam out of the kettle. It’s a cathartic release that doesn’t require secrecy, but there are worldly expectations to keep it together despite your feelings. This song gives me permission to fall apart.”
The soon-to-release EP, Intermission, will arrive months after Morris finalized her divorce from fellow singer-songwriter Ryan Hurd. Morris filed for divorce in October 2023, citing “irreconcilable differences.” They reached a settlement earlier this year. Intermission will follow Morris’ reimagined rendition of Billy Idol’s “Dancing with Myself,” and The Bridge, a 2-track collection featuring “The Tree” and “Get The Hell Out Of Here.” Morris’ latest full-length project is Humble Quest, her 11-track album that released in 2022 with Humble Quest: In Rare Form arriving months later, spotlighting seven songs from the album performed as acoustic versions.
Intermission will release on August 2.
