“With everything going on right now, l just wanted to put out something vibey and fun,” the singer explained of the song
Maren Morris has shared a new single, “People Still Show Up.” The song was co-written with Jack Antonoff and Laura Veltz and produced by Antonoff, drawing inspiration from the 1970s.
“I had no idea after writing this song at the beginning of 2023 how much deeper of a change my life was going to take, and I’m shook that it resonates with me today even more than it did then,” Morris said in a statement. “From needing a martini and therapy session with my best friend at our favorite new haunt, to a trauma dump writing session turned manic giggle fest, to the hometown energy of every lunatic show… my friends, family, cowriters, and fans still showed up. If it’s 2000 people or just 1, you only need one hand to help you out.”
She added, “Also, to be frank, with everything going on right now, l just wanted to put out something vibey and fun. I know it’s an election year and the energy around it can feel extremely dense, but please SHOW UP for yourself and your family (born or chosen) and vote.”
“People Still Show Up” is Morris’ first new song since her EP, Intermission, which arrived in August. She also contributed two new original songs for recent animated film, The Wild Robot, “Kiss the Sky” and “Even When I’m Not,” which runs in the end credits. According to a press release, Morris is currently in the studio “writing [her] guts out” in preparation for her next project.
Morris recently wrapped her headlining RSVP Redux Tour and a run of dates with Maroon 5. Next month, the singer will join Pink on her Summer Carnival Tour, performing as direct support in Austin, Raleigh, Atlanta, Birmingham, Orlando, and Columbia, SC.
