The "Tennessee Orange" singer is still on tour for her 2024 Am I Okay? album, and we're already in talks about her next album. When PEOPLE caught up with Moroney on the ACM Awards red carpet, she discussed the album, and told us a little about what we can expect.
So, first things first, let's get the good news out the way. Her album is already almost done.
"I'm always writing," she began. "I mean, I would say that my next album is probably like 80% written." I'm sure her fans are delighted to hear that. However, if you're expecting this third album to be as heartbreaking as the others, you may be disappointed.
Megan Moroney is known as the emo cowgirl of country music, her next album will be a little happier. Of course, this is ultimately a good thing, but those really banking on having a slew of tearjerkers may need to shift their expectations.
"I just try to live my life and write about it. So that's kind of how this next album is shaping up, too. Just like the last ones — I was writing about my life experiences," she explains. "So the strategy behind it hasn't changed. It's still the same"
Megan Moroney Says Next Album Will Be Happier
Moroney shared that her next album is more "light and carefree and happy."
Don't fret, however. "I would say I've still got the emo cowgirl staples on there because it wouldn't be a Megan Moroney album without some heart-wrenching thing," she countered. "But I do think it's lighter and it's really fun."
"I've got so many songs on my phone right now that I'm just like... I know my fans are just going to freak out," she said with an evil laugh, apparently.
Moroney then spoke about her honestly and influence on her fans, "There's definitely strength in being painfully honest, even if it's hard to talk about whatever it is."
"And I feel like I've got a fan base of younger girls that really look up to me. So if I can be the one that tells them it's going to be okay, or I once felt this way and now I don't — I think it's brave, and I don't feel weaker for it."
