CMA Awards 2025: Megan Moroney Reveals How Heartbreak Inspired Her New Music

Megan Moroney's new album won’t be completely filled with sad songs for sad people.

However, there may be parts that do. As the country singer put it, Cloud 9—set to be released Feb. 20, 2026—draws from her own life experiences, including both the best and hardest parts of being in a relationship.

"I literally write about my real life," she exclusively told E! News Nov. 19 at the 2025 CMA Awards. "There will definitely be songs on the album where you're trying to put the pieces together."

As to whether the album will be more focused on love or heartbreak? The "Tennessee Orange" singer shared, "A little bit of both."

And for Megan, who performed her single "6 Months Later" in a sparkly pink get-up at the award ceremony, that girly aesthetic behind the album is more than just a style choice.

"I chose pink because I think there is a softness about this music that isn’t in my other albums," she told Variety in an interview published Nov. 19. "I think it’s come from the confidence that I have now. It’s about falling in love and falling out of love, but when you’re truly confident, it’s not the end of the world when it doesn’t work out."
