Megan Moroney has released her powerful, heart-rending track – 28th of June, available everywhere.
Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records singer/songwriter Megan Moroney returns with her new song “28th of June” — a quietly gut-punching piano ballad that marks one of her most vulnerable offerings yet. It’s a song that devastates at every turn, marking her as an artist of pure emotional depth.
Written by Moroney, Ben Williams, Mackenzie Carpenter, and Micah Carpenter, “28th of June” serves as the follow-up to “No Caller ID” — a January release that quickly set the record for the biggest Country female song debut in streams in the U.S. Like its predecessor, “28th of June” brings Moroney’s nuanced yet powerful songwriting to a bittersweet reflection on a broken relationship. This time around, the Georgia-bred artist explores one of the more devastating aspects of moving on from a breakup — the undeniable pain that hits when your would-be anniversary rolls around and stirs up so many hurtful memories (from the first verse: “Drank a bottle of red and opened up another/Danced around the room holding onto each other/Like we were never gonna let go/I was too naïve to know”).
Recorded at the legendary Blackbird Studio in Nashville and produced by her frequent collaborator Kristian Bush — who also helmed production on her widely lauded debut album LUCKY — “28th of June” sets Moroney’s storytelling to a breathtakingly sparse, piano-driven arrangement adorned with plenty of lovely details, including graceful steel-guitar tones and Moroney’s delicate background vocals. As she narrates all the different dimensions of her heartbreak (the sting of nostalgia, the empty comfort of sleeping alone in her ex’s shirt, the raw betrayal of being replaced), Moroney ultimately infuses the song with all the dreamy sensitivity and unflinching honesty that audiences have come to expect from one of Country’s brightest young stars.
Solidifying her status as an in-demand headliner, her third consecutive headline tour kicks off on April 19 in Dothan, Alabama, and is currently set to continue through July 26 in Aspen, Colorado, with special guest Logan Crosby as support. Soon after completing that run, she’ll head overseas for the GEORGIA GIRL TOUR: a 15-date headlining tour of the UK and Europe, beginning on September 4 in Cardiff, UK, and wrapping up on September 27 in Zurich, Switzerland.
