Morgan Wallen Teases New Song 'Come Back As A Redneck'

Morgan Wallen’s forthcoming album, I’m The Problem, is only a little over a month away, and despite already releasing five singles, the country star is teasing the next one.

Signalling his return to a more upbeat sound after a string of slower tracks, Wallen has shared a snippet of the new song, Come Back As A Redneck, captioning the post with a line from the song: “Maybe then you’ll understand.”

In a video posted to Instagram on Monday (31 March), Wallen can be seen shooting a rifle at a shooting range and riding a motorbike and a four-wheeler through the open space.

As for the song’s lyrics, Wallen compares city living to country life, singing, “I didn’t choose my raisin’, and you didn’t choose yours,” later crooning, “When you die, I hope you come back as a redneck… I hope you break your back for that barely-gettin’-by paycheck… maybe then you’ll understand.”

You can watch the teaser below.

Come Back As A Redneck is one of a whopping 37 tracks to feature on I’m The Problem, which is set for release on Friday, 16 May, via Big Loud, Republic Records and Mercury Records. The full tracklist hasn’t yet been revealed, but Come Back As A Redneck is listed as the 21st song on the album. According to Genius, the song will feature a special guest who has yet to be announced.

So far, he’s released the singles Lies Lies Lies, Love Somebody, Smile, the title track, and Just In Case.

Morgan Wallen made headlines over the weekend for his appearance on Saturday Night Live as a guest performer. He ended up leaving the show before the credits started rolling, which caused debate on social media as people pondered whether he was rude or not.

After his exit from the Saturday Night Live set, he posted an Instagram Story that showed a private plane with the caption, “Get me to God’s country.” Looking at the teaser for Come Back As A Redneck, perhaps he was hinting at what’s to come.
