Morgan Wallen has a new album on the way.

The country singer took to social media on Monday to announce that his third studio album One Thing At A Time is set to release on Friday, March 3.

The deeply personal project will take listeners on an intimate journey from the opening confessional “Born With A Beer In My Hand” to the poignant closing track “Dying Man”.

Wallen shared details about the upcoming expansive album, which includes collaborations with fellow country artists Eric Church, HARDY and Ernest, in an official press release.

“This record represents the last few years of my life, the highs and the lows,” Wallen said. “It also brings together the musical influences that have shaped me as an artist – country, alternative and hip-hop. There are 36 songs on this album because we just kept exploring with fresh lyrics, music and production ideas and these are the songs that felt right to me.”

“It was a blast to create,” Wallen added, “and I was so grateful to be back in the studio to lay this out for my fans.”

Speaking of his new music, the “Neon Eyes” singer shared that he simply tried “to tell it how it is – the good, the bad, the love, the heartbreak. That’s all I know how to do.”

“My hope is that this album makes my fans proud; makes ’em laugh, smirk, cry, and think – just like it did for me,” he said.

Elsewhere, One Thing At A Time furthers Wallen’s connection to his roots. His sister, Ashlyne Wallen, is featured on the track “Outlook”, where she sings harmony.

“I grew up in church singing three-part harmonies with my two sisters. That’s how I learned to sing,” Wallen explained. “So this was a full-circle moment for Ashlyne and me.”

The cover art of the album also holds family significance for Wallen as it was photographed outside the Sneedville, Tennessee home of his beloved grandmother, who is no longer with us.

“My Mamaw (Grandmother) Boots helped raise me,” Wallen explained. “I had such a special bond with her, so I wanted to honour her with this new record.”
