Morgan Wallen – “Superman” 

With just one week until Morgan Wallen drops his fourth studio album I'm The Problem, he’s giving fans a heartfelt final preview with “Superman,”  a high-energy ballad dedicated to his son. Co-written with Ryan Vojtesak, John Byron, Blake Pendergrass, and James Maddocks, the track finds Wallen striking a powerful balance between raw emotion and his signature swagger.

With its honest lyrics and stadium-ready sound, “Superman” offers a glimpse into a more personal side of Wallen – proving he’s not afraid to open up, as long as it still sounds unapologetically like him.

Miley Cyrus strips it all back in “More to Lose,” the second single from her upcoming album Something Beautiful, out May 30. Produced by Jonathan Rado, Michael Pollack, Shawn Everett, and BJ Burton, the track is raw, emotional, and intentionally imperfect.

Her cool, effortless delivery makes each lyric land with clarity and conviction. With dreamy sonics and a glow-up spirit, “Too Good” is bold, honest, and a shining example of the fearless storytelling that defines Dreamsicle.

Megan Moroney & Kenny Chesney – “You Had To Be There” 

Megan Moroney and Kenny Chesney strike gold with “You Had To Be There,” a heartfelt anthem that captures the magic of a live country concert,  the kind of night that stays with you long after the encore. Written by Ben Williams, Micah Carpenter, and Mackenzie Carpenter and produced by Kristian Bush, who also provides background vocals, the track immerses listeners in the excitement of getting ready for a show with No Shoes Nation, breaking in new cowboy boots, stealing kisses under neon lights, and feeling part of something bigger than yourself – a fandom. The lyrics are so relatable that every country fan will find a piece of their own story within the song. Chesney and Moroney’s harmonies make it clear that “You Had To Be There” isn’t just about a concert,  it’s a celebration of fans, music, and moments that can’t be explained but are cherished forever.

Dierks Bentley’s latest track, “Standing in the Sun,” is an absolute gem, and it’s a perfect teaser for his upcoming album BROKEN BRANCHES (out June 13). Written by Kyle Sturrock, the song starts off with a simple, sparse guitar that lets Bentley’s gravelly voice shine through, before it builds into something much bigger, full of emotion and gratitude. Bentley himself has said that this is a song he never could’ve written on his own but is so glad someone else did,  and it’s clear why. The way the song builds, almost like a sunrise.

Blake Shelton – For Recreational Use Only 

Blake Shelton’s For Recreational Use Only feels like one of those albums you throw on during a long drive or a laid-back weekend – it’s grounded, a little rowdy, and full of heart. It’s his first full record in four years, and you can tell he poured a lot into it. With 12 tracks that blend grit, charm, and that classic Shelton wit, it hits all the right notes. One of the most personal songs, “The Keys,” co-written by HARDY, is a total standout. Shelton admits it hit him in the gut, and when you hear it, you’ll get why. It’s about holding onto old keys, but really, it’s about holding onto memories. The whole album has that kind of emotional weight mixed with easygoing fun.

That kind of honesty is what makes “Mama Ain’t Jesus” so powerful.
