“Then I Called Him”: Megan Moroney Confesses To Calling Her Ex After Writing The Country Heartbreaker “I Only Miss You”

I mean, I get it… Megan Moroney has a brand new album Cloud 9 coming out which consists of 15 songs in total, and it has two features from two huge artists in Kacey Musgraves and Ed Sheeran, the latter of which is called “I Only Miss You.” She wrote it with Ben Williams, Mackenzie Carpenter, Micah Carpenter, and Sheeran, and a couple days ago on Instagram, Megan shared a teaser of the song which is a slow ballad that finds her singing about how much she misses her ex, hence the title: “I only miss you when I’m breathing, When my face is far from you, I only miss you when it’s raining, This downpour outside ain’t nothing new, I only miss you when I’m drinking, These days I’m barely getting by, I only miss you when I’m drinking, And baby I’ve been drinking, Because I miss you all the time, Why don’t you come over, My bed keeps getting colder, Put your pretty head on my shoulder, See if over’s really over” During a recent interview, she explained how much detail and effort went into finding the perfect song for them, and in fact, it was Sheeran who wanted to do something much more traditionally country: “At first I was nervous to talk to Ed Sheeran, of course, but he’s an e-mailer, so that takes, kind of, the pressure off. Because I would just not check my email for two weeks, and wouldn’t worry about it. But Ed and I would send back and forth songs… he would send me one and I would be like, ‘I don’t know of this is it.’ I’d send him one and he’s like, ‘Eh, I don’t know.’ After the Bluebird show, he told me that his wife and kids love me and he loves my songwriting, and I’m obviously such a fan of his. So I think we just really wanted to collab together. I definitely trusted Ed after it’s done, like, he made the right decision. The song that we cut is a traditionally country song, it’s not a pop song. From what I know about collabing with pop artists, usually, it’s a tempo pop song with a country voice on it. But he wanted to go the opposite route and do a really traditional country song with his modern pop voice on it. So it made it really interesting, and I ‘m really excited for everyone to hear that one.” It has a beautiful melody and I’m sure Sheeran will have a bigger feature once we hear the full song, and you can listen to it here: View this post on Instagram But the funny part of it is that it got her so much into her feels that Megan says she called her ex after writing it: “You think you can hurt me? I wrote this song then I called him.” It happens… And I don’t think she’ll be one in that once this full song is actually released. after hearing the teaser, it’s probably one of the ones I’m looking forward to hearing the most, and I love the traditional direction they went in with it.
