CELEBRATING A PIVOTAL YEAR:
WME REPRESENTATION AND CMA FEST PERFORMANCE

NASHVILLE, TN (December 12, 2025) — Closing out a busy year — one that included signing with WME for global representation, performing at CMA Fest, Carolina Country Music Festival, and Barefoot Country Music Fest, and opening for country icons like Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton — rising artist Myles Morgan has released his last single of the year, “Thought You Were Leaving,” today. Blending southern grit, modern storytelling, and the raw vulnerability his fans have come to love, the track marks yet another step forward in Morgan’s fast-ascending career.

The new single was brought to life by a trusted creative team, including producers Clayton Collins and Dalton Wixom, with Dominic Frost (of Morgan Wallen’s band) contributing guitar work. It was mixed by Dave Clauss and mastered by Joe Hutchinson. The lyrics were penned by Myles Morgan, Clayton Collins, and Dalton Wixom, further highlighting Morgan’s hands-on approach to storytelling.

 “Thought You Were Leaving” explores the fragile moment between heartbreak and hope, where fear, honesty, and longing collide. The song showcases Morgan’s signature fusion of traditional country instrumentation with contemporary production. 

“‘Thought You Were Leaving,’ is an upbeat and lighthearted song about a relationship with somebody who just can’t seem to walk away — and writing it was so much fun,” shares Morgan.

Morgan’s rise has been rapid and undeniable. After discovering music unexpectedly when he picked up his father’s unused guitar after high school, he began performing along the Gulf Coast — including early sets at the iconic Flora-Bama — before building a loyal grassroots following during his time at the University of Alabama. His 2024 debut single, “Nobody’s Fault But Yours,” surpassed one million streams, solidifying him as a compelling new voice in the genre. Follow-up releases like “Jon Boat or a Yacht” (co-written with Jack Mills, son of Wayne Mills) and “Is This Seat Taken” expanded his sonic identity and fanbase.

A charismatic, high-energy performer, Morgan has shared stages with Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Riley Green, and Muscadine Bloodline. Following his signing with WME, he launched his debut headline run — the “I Still Got It” Tour — in fall 2025, drawing enthusiastic crowds across the Southeast. 

Festival appearances at CMA Fest, Carolina Country Music Festival, and Barefoot Country Music Fest have showcased his ability to captivate large audiences, and he is set to perform at Rock the South Festival in 2026, marking another major milestone in his surging career.

With “Thought You Were Leaving,” Myles Morgan continues to deliver music rooted in sincerity, heart, and craft, giving fans a powerful new release as he steps into 2026 with unmistakable momentum.
