Maren Morris has unveiled details of her upcoming album, Humble Quest, dropping March 25 on Sony Music Nashville’s Columbia Nashville imprint.

The album features the leadoff single, “Circles Around This Town,” which was released last week. The hot new track is currently the most-added single at country radio and broke Amazon Music’s record for most streams for a country song debut by a female artist.

Produced by frequent collaborator Greg Kurstin and written alongside husband Ryan Hurd, Julia Michaels, Jimmy Robbins, Natalie Hemby, Laura Veltz and Jon Green, Humble Quest finds Morris on a journey to embrace the imperfections in her life through her rises and falls, overshares, lullabies, wine-soaked conversations, and a hard goodbye.

Morris began writing the project at the beginning of the pandemic as a series of major life changes unfolded–new motherhood, an upended career, the death of beloved friend and collaborator Michael Busbee, and more–which was further compounded by lockdown.

Humble Quest follows her record-shattering 2019 album, Girl, which spawned the quadruple Platinum-certified, Grammy-nominated “The Bones;” and the Platinum-certified No. 1 title track. She is nominated for two Grammy awards this year: Best Country Song for “Better Than We Found It” and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “Chasing After You,” the No. 1, Platinum-certified collaboration with her husband Ryan Hurd.

1. Circles Around This Town
