Morgan Wallen is gearing up for his next big musical chapter, hot on the heels of his successful 2023 album One Thing at a Time and extensive touring. Fans are eagerly awaiting what’s next, and Wallen has just dropped a major hint with his latest release.
“I’m the Problem” is the brand new song from Morgan Wallen, launched on Friday, January 31st. More than just a standalone single, this track is the namesake and title track of his upcoming album, set to arrive sometime in 2025. While an exact release date is still under wraps, the anticipation is already building.
Musically, “I’m the Problem” is built upon a straightforward yet compelling guitar melody. Lyrically, the song delves into the aftermath of a relationship’s end, with Wallen portraying a man facing accusations from his former partner. He acknowledges the reasons given for the breakup, seemingly accepting the blame initially.
However, the chorus takes an interesting turn. Just as listeners might expect full self-recrimination, Wallen flips the narrative:
“If I’m the problem, well, you might be the reason,”
This lyric hints at a more complex dynamic, suggesting that the issues in the relationship weren’t solely on his shoulders. It adds a layer of intrigue and relatability to the song, moving beyond simple heartbreak.
Fans wanting to experience “I’m the Problem” live won’t have to wait too long. The song is set to be a highlight of Wallen’s upcoming I’m the Problem Tour. This summer tour kicks off on June 20th and continues through September 13th, promising fans across the country a chance to hear his new music and beloved hits.
To fully appreciate the nuances of “I’m the Problem,” let’s explore the complete lyrics:
Full Lyrics to Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem”
Verse 1
You say I’ll never change / I’m just a-go around town with some gasoline / Just tryin’ to bum a flame / Gonna burn the whole place down / How do you explain / Ever fallin’ in love with a guy like me in the first place / Then turn around, say that I’m the worst thing?
Chorus
I guess I’m the problem / And you’re Ms. “Never Do No Wrong” / If I’m so awful / Then why’d you stick around this long? / And if it’s the whiskey / Then why you keep on pullin’ it off the shelf? / You hate that when you look at me, you halfway see yourself / And it got me thinkin’ / If I’m the problem, well, you might be the reason
Verse 2
We try to go our sеparate ways / And we’re back and forth likе a swingin’ door / And tomorrow’s like yesterday / Some days better than the night before / And you’re back to me again / Then you go and tell your friends
Chorus
I guess I’m the problem / And you’re Ms. “Never Do No Wrong” / If I’m so awful / Then why’d you stick around this long? / And if it’s the whiskey / Then why you keep on pullin’ it off the shelf? / You hate that when you look at me, you halfway see yourself / And it got me thinkin’ / If I’m the problem, well, you might be the reason
Bridge
If I’m such a waste of breath, such a waste of time / Then why you on your way to waste another Friday night?
Chorus
I guess I’m the problem / And you’re Ms. “Never Do No Wrong” / If I’m so awful / Then why’d you stick around this long? / And if it’s the whiskey / Then why you keep on pullin’ it off the shelf? / You hate that when you look at me, you halfway see yourself / And it got me thinkin’ / If I’m the problem, well, you might be the reason
