The footage, shared late Wednesday, shows Morgan Wallen performing his unreleased song “Love Somebody” for the very first time, and it's heartbreaking.
According to a pretty quality post from the show, Wallen introduced the song to an audience in Stockholm, Sweden. Share On TikTok. He teasing The flamenco-meets-country song has been in the works for some time, first teased by fans on Instagram back in May.
“I have a feeling this song would sound great on a boat,” Warren wrote in the post's caption, and he's not wrong: In contrast to “I Had Some Help,” “Love Somebody”'s soothing melody makes it the perfect song to share with someone special in an amazing location.

“Love Somebody” is one of several songs Warren has been testing with fans since releasing his smash-hit 36-track album, “One Thing At A Time.” (Related article: Morgan Wallen's Nashville chair becomes tourist attraction, singer faces years in prison: report)
The project comes on the heels of his smash hit, “Dangerous: The Double Album.” While “Dangerous” was a deeper, more traditional, modern country album, “One Thing At A Time” finds Warren leaning into a different genre.

From what I've heard, this next album is designed to showcase Warren's performance abilities. Some people write him off for a fairly simple hit like “Last Night,” which isn't that technically complex. (RELATED: Morgan Wallen's Surprise New Song Might Make You Cry Easily)
Warren's cover of “Graveyard Whistling” seems to prove that he's fully recovered from the serious vocal cord damage he suffered in 2023. It also revealed that his range is out of this world. Let's hope he releases a new album soon, which will surely come right after his world tour ends, so he has an excuse to hit the road again in 2025.
Part of me thinks Warren will continue down the same path of releasing a mega-hit album and touring for at least five cycles. If I were him, I would step aside for a year or two at that point to focus on other ventures and then get a resident artist position. But not in Vegas. He should be a resident artist in Nashville and take it easy for the rest of his life.
