Maren Morris – Girl (mp3 download)
Maren Morris drops a brand new single track entitled “Girl“. Morris is prepping her anticipated second album and has given us a taste of what to come with her new record on which she had confrontation on her mind. But midway through, she experienced an epiphany.
“I was writing it as a letter to another girl who I felt had disrespected me and was constantly trying to be competitive with me when I just wanted to exist in my own space,” she tells Rolling Stone. “But as we kept writing it, I realized I’m not talking to someone else — I’m talking to myself.”
Written with Sarah Aarons (who co-wrote Morris’s dance smash with Zedd, “The Middle”) and Greg Kurstin, the track seeks to remind Morris — and anyone who faces seemingly insurmountable odds — to never give up.
“I am talking to my inner critic that says I’m not good enough,” she says. “This is me telling myself it’s going to be OK and to chill the fuck out. Just write your music and put your blinders on. Don’t worry about what other people are doing or saying about you. Don’t water yourself down to appease them. Just focus on your art and the rest will fall into place.”
