Megan Moroney has unveiled the first taste of her upcoming third studio album with the release of her new single, “Beautiful Things.” The song made its debut during a surprise performance at Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe in March, alongside pop icon Ed Sheeran, and has since become a standout track on her “Am I Okay?” Tour. Fans can also enjoy a live version of “Beautiful Things,” recorded during her historic headlining show at a stadium in Charleston, South Carolina.
Megan drew inspiration for the heartfelt song following the birth of her niece. Reflecting on that moment, she shared, “When she was born, I remember just looking at her and being like, ‘She’s so perfect, and I just never want anything sad to happen to her.’”
“Beautiful Things” serves as a poignant reminder amid life’s challenges, capturing both vulnerability and strength. In her lyrics, she poignantly illustrates the struggles people face, stating, “Fires burn up canyons, a hurricane can wreck a beach/ Words can make a mockingbird forget they’re born to sing/ Lies can break a fragile heart and doubt can crush your dreams.” Yet, she reassures listeners by emphasizing that despite its hardships, the world is tough on beautiful things.
Listeners can now stream the studio version of “Beautiful Things,” marking another exciting chapter in Megan Moroney’s evolving musical journey. With her authenticity and emotional depth, this release promises to resonate deeply with fans and newcomers alike.
