The just announced project was introduced last week with a biographical country track that featured less pop influence than many from the CMA Award-winning Girl album. Fans can expect more like it.

“It’s a lot country-er on an instrumental level," Morris tells Taste of Country Nights. "And rootsy-er than my last record which was very pop heavy. It’s a really hopeful record.”

The "My Church" hitmaker went back to her roots for "Circles Around This Town," a song that recalls early early-Nashville struggles as a songwriter before she figured out she was meant to record the songs she was pitching to others in town. Even though she had a publishing deal, Morris was far from "making it" for at least two years.

"There was just not a ton of traction," she shares during a Zoom call. "I would get songs put on hold all the time but they would never fully get to record mode. I remember thinking, ‘Maybe it wasn’t for me.’”

As her new lyrics indicate, "My Church" and "'80s Mercedes" were her breakthrough songs. Both involve cars as a creative sanctuary for her, a theme she returns to for this latest track (No. 25 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart). Specifically she mentions the Mitsubishi Montero that got her from Texas to Nashville.

"Eventually I leveled up and I got like a Prius," she quips with no longing for that old beater of a car.

Other details shared by Morris during her conversation with Evan Paul include a note that there won't be any duets on this album but there were plenty of great songwriting collaborations. Additionally, she says lot of the album is from her point of view however, and ...

“It’s coming out, soon. I will say that." On Thursday (Jan. 13) fans learned that "soon" meant March 25.

Maren Morris, "Circles Around This Town" Lyrics:
(Maren Morris, Ryan Hurd, Jimmy Robbins)

I swear I don’t know how I trusted / A Montero with the A/C busted / A couple bad demos on a burned CD / Would take me all the way to Tennessee / I showed up to the new apartment / First month’s, last month’s two deposits / Hadn’t heard the sound of a door slam yet / Thank God I was an optimist.

Chorus:
I drove circles around this town / Trying to write circles around this town / Trying to say something with meaning / Something worth singing about / I’ve been kind and I’ve been ruthless / Yeah, I got here but the truth is / Thought when I hit it / It’d all look different but I still got the pedal down / Driving circles around this town.

So many times I thought about leaving / Got my ass kicked trying to compete with / Everybody else’s ones that got away / Hung around long enough to catch a break / Couple hundred songs and the ones that finally worked / Was the one about a car and the one about a church / That I wrote …

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Chorus
