Morgan Wallen kicked off the weekend with “Been By Now,” a storytelling ballad that he recently teased on social media.
The country megastar teamed up with Charlie Handsome, John Byron, Blake Pendergrass, Rocky Block and Taylor Phillips to write the “Been By Now,” which was produced by Joey Moi. The single “continues Wallen's unmatched ability to blend deeply personal storytelling with undeniable melodies, giving fans another standout addition to his ever-growing catalog,” states a press release announcing the song’s release date on Friday (July 24). Wallen gave fans a sneak peek of “Been By Now” with a clip on Instagram earlier this month. He delivered the debut live performance at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland.
“If it was meant to be, we’d have been by now/ We wouldn’t have to keep trying to work things out”
Wallen released “Been By Now” as he wraps up the final dates of his 23-stadium “Still The Problem Tour,” titled as a nod to his latest studio record. The East Tennessee-born artist has played to massive, sold-out crowds with Brooks & Dunn, HARDY, Ella Langley and Thomas Rhett as direct support, plus Gavin Adcock, Flatland Cavalry, Hudson Westbrook, Jason Scott & The High Heat, Zach John King, Vincent Mason and Blake Whiten.
