MEGAN MORONEY FACES THE “GIRL IN THE MIRROR” IN THIRD RELEASE OFF ANTICIPATED DEBUT ALBUM

NOMINATED FOR NEW FEMALE ARTIST OF THE YEAR AT THE 58TH ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS

LAUNCHES FULL-LENGTH LUCKY ON MAY 5

NASHVILLE, TENN. (April 14, 2023) – “I loved the boy more than I love the girl in the mirror,” admits Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records’ rising star Megan Moroney in an introspective gut-punch with her third release titled “Girl In The Mirror” off her forthcoming debut album, LUCKY. With her new song available today (4/14) across all streaming platforms and digital retailers, fans can also pre-save/pre-add LUCKY out May 5. 

Described by Moroney as “the most vulnerable song I’ve ever written,” the Moroney, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Matt Jenkins-penned stunner speaks the hard truth, as she wraps the ballad in a deeply personal, self-worth revelation. “Girl In The Mirror” finds Moroney reflecting on a glimpse in the mirror – and wondering who this woman is now, staring back at her. With raw vocals and a stripped-down sound from producer Kristian Bush – a delicate mix of acoustic guitar, feathery-soft steel, and muffled drums – she unpacks an all-too relatable realization of losing yourself in a relationship.  Directed by Acacia Evans, watch the adjoining music video which captures Moroney coming face-to-face with herself on a stage surrounded by mirrors. “Girl In The Mirror” directly follows the already released buzz-colored title track and Top 15-and-climbing viral breakout hit “Tennessee Orange” off LUCKY.

Next up for NEW FEMALE ARTIST OF THE YEAR at the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards, fans can tune in on May 11 at 8 p.m. EDT/7 p.m. CDT/5 p.m. PDT as it streams live exclusively on Prime Video from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, TX. This nomination comes hot on the heels of her first career win for BREAKTHROUGH FEMALE VIDEO OF THE YEAR for her Jason Lester-directed “Tennessee Orange” clip (view here) at the 2023 CMT MUSIC AWARDS.Kicking off her first SOLD-OUT headlining run with the PISTOL MADE OF ROSES TOUR this week, Moroney’s follow-up trek, THE LUCKY TOUR, will launch in the fall. With many of the venues selling out within minutes, the 22-city tour kicks off with her New York City debut at The Bowery Ballroom on September 20, before taking her to major cities and iconic venues coast-to-coast including first-time stops as an in-demand headliner in Chicago (Joe’s on Weed St.), Los Angeles (Troubadour), New Braunfels, TX (Gruene Hall), and more, through November. In addition, she’s slated to support Country music icons Brooks & Dunn this summer. For full tour dates and ticketing information, visit meganmoroney.com.

ABOUT MEGAN MORONEY: Born and raised in Georgia, Megan Moroney grew up in a musical household heavily influenced by legendary songwriters in Classic Country, Southern Rock, and Americana. During her freshman year at the University of Georgia, an opportunity to open for an established Country artist at the iconic Georgia Theatre prompted Moroney to write her very first original song. From there, she developed a love for storytelling and has become known for her distinctive voice and honest, conversational lyrics. 2022 brought the singer a breakout year with the release of her debut EP, Pistol Made of Roses, followed by her single “Tennessee Orange,” which put her on the map as Nashville’s most compelling new artist. The colossal buzz surrounding the track prompted her to perform it on ESPN’s College GameDay, while racking up over 231 MILLION global streams to date. The viral hit was awarded this year for BREAKTHROUGH FEMALE VIDEO OF THE YEAR (“Tennessee Orange”), notching Moroney’s first CMT Music Award. The Top 15-and-climbing single is on her forthcoming debut album LUCKY, out May 5. After opening stints on tours with Larry Fleet, Chase Matthews, Jamey Johnson, and Warren Zeiders last year, she is kicking off her first headline run with the SOLD-OUT PISTOL MADE OF ROSES TOUR this spring and continuing with THE LUCKY TOUR in the fall. In between, fans can catch her out with Brooks & Dunn this summer. Dubbed a “2023 Artist to Watch” by Amazon Music, Pandora, and Spotify, as well as one of CMT’s Next Women of Country for 2023, the “musical risk taker with powerhouse pipes” (CMT) is slated to become a household name in the years to come.
