Morgan Wallen has teased fans with the promise of new music over the past few months, sharing photos of himself in the studio. Now, as his third studio album One Thing at a Time reaches RIAA certified 7x multi-platinum status, Wallen is offering up an early glimpse of his upcoming new album, with the release of his new song, “Love Somebody.”

He wrote the song with John Byron, Ashley Gorley, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Elof Loelv and Ryan Vojtesak, with production from Joey Moi and Charlie Handsome. Together, they crafted a song about someone seeking a lover who “won’t leave a hole in my heart.” Elsewhere, in the song, Wallen sings, “And I’ll be lucky if I ever find a somethin’ more than just a crazy night.”

“‘Love Somebody’ is a little bit of a new approach lyrically and sonically,” Wallen said in a statement. “I wanted to try something different, with what I wanted to talk about, how I wanted it to sound, and we were inspired by Latin-leaning influences. I’m really excited about this song and pumped that it is out.”

Wallen initially previewed “Love Somebody” on his TikTok account back in May, then performed the song during the European leg of his One Night at a Time Tour. He announced the song’s release during his double-shot of headlining shows at UT Knoxville’s Neyland Stadium, and also performed the song during the TJ Martell Foundation Gala event honoring Big Loud partner/CEO Seth England last month.

Wallen’s One Night At A Time Tour concludes this weekend with two nights at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium on Oct. 18-19. The tour spanned two years, 87 shows, 10 countries, and 51 stadium plays, in addition to festivals and arenas and was named Billboard’s country tour of the year in 2023.

The Weeknd’s ‘Call Out My Name’ Video Reaches 1 Billion YouTube Views

The song was released back in 2018.

The Weeknd added yet another music video to YouTube’s Billion Views Club, as the “Call Out My Name” visual surpassed the milestone. The achievement marks the star’s sixth music video to surpass one billion views.

In the 2018 clip, The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) wanders an empty road at dusk, before bats explode from his head at the chorus. “So call out my name/ Call out my name when I kiss you so gently/ I want you to stay,” he sings in the hook.
