Megan Moroney has released her latest single, '6 Months Later,' a fiery post-breakup anthem that details a sweet form of revenge. The song, which arrived on Friday, June 20th, chronicles Moroney's experience with a 'heartbreaker' and how she turned the tables after a dramatic split.
Moroney collaborated with Ben Williams, David 'Messy' Mescon, and Rob Hatch to craft '6 Months Later.' The reigning Country Music Association New Artist of the Year shares a relatable story of surviving a tough breakup only to receive a call from her ex months later. By then, however, he's 'a little too late to the party.'
The song's bridge amplifies the triumphant energy, with Moroney delivering a powerful message about personal growth and moving on. As a press release stated, 'What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger/And blonder and hotter/Makes you wonder what you even saw in him at all.'
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the initial heartbreak and the subsequent journey to recovery:
'Let me set you the scene/ November circa 2019/ Put a hole in my heart, watched it bleed/ You said that we were better off as strangers/ I was barely alive/ Out of 6 feet deep I was 5/ Pretty sure they called a hearse outside/ OK that’s dramatic, but I survived/ Then I survived…'
The chorus encapsulates the essence of the song:
'The ‘hey Meg, I think I want you back’/ ‘I’m a couple drinks in thinking it’s my bad that I let you walk away and let you go’/ It’s a tale as old as time I guess/ When you couldn’t care more I couldn’t care less/ You’re a little too late to the party, heartbreaker/ What doesn’t kill you calls you 6 months later'
Moroney had been teasing '6 Months Later' on social media in recent weeks, building anticipation among her fans. This single follows her collaboration with Kenny Chesney on 'You Had To Be There,' a song she originally wrote as a Christmas gift for him.
Fans are eagerly awaiting details about Moroney’s third studio album, though she has not yet announced any official plans. Her latest album, 'Am I Okay?', was released last summer and extended her reach within the country music scene. '6 Months Later' is sure to continue her momentum and connect with listeners who have experienced similar situations.
