Morgan Wallen has unveiled the full track list for his brand new album I’m The Problem, set to release May 16.
The superstar rounds up plenty of friends for this latest project, including Post Malone, Tate McRae, Eric Church, Ernest and Hardy, and he co-wrote 22 of the whopping 37 cuts on the album, curating a collection that’s both personal and resonant, while viewing life through a different lens than he’s used in the past.
Following up last year’s monster hit with Post Malone, “I Had Some Help,” (which recently topped two billion streams) Wallen doubles down with a new collab with Malone “I Ain’t Comin’ Back,” due out tomorrow (April 18). Written by Wallen, Malone, Hardy, Ernest, Louis Bell and Ryan Vojtesak, “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” features a clever kiss-off, as a guy leaves his relationship, vowing never to return.
The album opens with the title track, “I’m The Problem,” a double-edged confession that reveals the complexities of a relationship at its lowest and concludes with “I’m A Little Crazy,” a quiet, contemplative song that looks inward while examining the world outside. 49 songwriters contributed to the expansive new project, including Ashley Gorley, Chase McGill, Josh Thompson, Jessie Jo Dillon,Chris Tompkins, Josh Miller and many more.
“A lot of the concepts and things we said were a little more difficult with this album,” Wallen says of the writing and refining process. “We were trying to dig deep on things and trying to find new angles. And I feel like we did that. I feel like there’s a lot of stuff that I haven’t said in this record, which I’m really, really proud of.”
Wallen has teased the new album tracks during appearances on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and Theo Von’s This Past Weekend podcast, and he recently became the first artist ever to have two albums spend over 100 weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart. He’ll kick off his “I’m The Problem Tour” June 20 at NRG Stadium in Houston.
