Morgan Wallen is seeing out 2024 with the unexpected released of new track ‘Smile'.
The track's arrival follows teasers on Wallen's Instagram and TikTik channels, and it comes with an official music video directed by Justin Clough. You can watch the video and listen to the song below:
‘Smile' is written by Wallen, Rocky Block, John Byron, Ernest Keith Smith, Ryan Vojtesak and Luis Witkiewitz. It is a continuation of a theme set by previous releases, ‘Lies Lies Lies' and ‘Love Somebody', as the narrator navigates life’s little moments and longings. The lyrics of the song depict a relationship as we see them today through filtered snapshots.
The release of ‘Smile' follows Wallen adding a sixteenth number 1 to his tally at Country Radio with ‘Lies Lies Lies' and the number 1 debut of ‘Love Somebody' on the Billboard 100 chart, marking his first solo song to do so.
‘Love Somebody' led Wallen to become the first artist to have three singles sit atop the Billboard 100 and Hot Country Songs charts simultaneously.
After concluding his record-breaking ‘One Night At A Time Tour' in October – which spanned 87 shows, 57 stadium shows and 10 countries across two years – Wallen will host his inaugural Sand In My Boots Festival on the beaches of Gulf Shores, AL in 2025.
The festival, which sold out in less than two hours of on-sale, will feature headlining sets by Wallen, Post Malone, Brooks & Dunn and HARDY across three days and three nights, with additional guests including Riley Green, Bailey Zimmerman, T-Pain, Diplo, Wiz Khalifa, The War on Drugs, 2 Chainz, Chase Rice, Three 6 Mafia, 3 Doors Down, Ella Langley, ERNEST, Morgan Wade, Moneybagg Yo and more.
