Megan Moroney unveiled a sneak peek of the nest track to release from her highly-anticipated new studio album, Cloud 9.

Moroney, 28, will release “Wish I Didn’t” on Friday (January 17). She teamed up with songwriters Emily Weisband, Hillary Lindsey and Luke Laird to write the soon-to-debut anthem, which was produced by Kristian Bush. “Wish I Didn’t” is the first Cloud 9 track to release since Moroney announced the record’s release date. It follows “6 Months Later,” which quickly became a crowd sing-along anthem over the summer, and “Beautiful Things,” a heartfelt ballad the Georgia-born singer-songwriter penned for her niece. Commenters said they’re “screaming” and “can’t wait” for the song to arrive on Friday. Fellow artists, including Kylie Morgan and Tigirlily Gold, also reacted to Moroney’s announcement. Sister duo Tigirlily Gold said they’re “ALREADY OBSESSED” with the unreleased song.

My feet feel firmly planted in my artistry and it was fun to play around sonically, while still sticking to my roots of what my fans and I love. Cloud 9 is a state of mind, and I have no doubt this will be the best chapter yet.”
