Maren Morris Reveals Release Date for Upcoming Album, “Girl”

Three weeks after Maren Morris released her uplifting new single, “Girl,” she has revealed that her upcoming album of the same name will be released on March 8.

Girl, which is available for pre-order at midnight ET, will follow Maren’s 2016 award-winning, major-label debut album, Hero.

“Girl” is currently No. 31 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart after three weeks. Penned by Maren, Sarah Aarons and Greg Kurstin, who also produced the song, “Girl” features the encouraging chorus: “Girl, don’t hang your head low / Don’t lose your halo / Everyone’s gonna be okay, baby, girl.

“The story behind my single, ‘Girl,’ started as something I was saying to another woman, like, ‘We don’t need to be competitive with each other,’” says Maren. “And then I kind of realized that I was talking to myself, like, ‘I don’t need to be so competitive with myself, I am enough.’ And it just became a really powerful concept after that point. I’m so excited it’s out.”
