Morgan Evans Looks Ahead With ‘On My Own Again’ [LISTEN]

Morgan Evans has a vulnerable new song, out now. The Australian just released “On My Own Again,” a surprisingly feel-good track about saying goodbye and starting over again, after bidding farewell to the person he thought he was going to spend forever with, in his case his now ex-wife, Kelsea Ballerini.

The song, which says in part, “I’m gonna drive until the wheels fall off this old truck in my heart / If forever’s gonna end like that, I guess I better start / The best of my life, likе the best times, up wrap around thе bend  / Oh, on my own again,” follows Evans’ “Over For You” song, which was the first song he wrote after the end of his marriage was announced.

“I sat down in the room, and it was the only song I’d written in two months,” Evans recalled on Apple Music’s Today’s Country Radio with Kelleigh Bannen. “And I sat in the room and there was a good mate of mine in there, Geoff Warburton… He was in there and two people I’d never met, actually, Madison [Love] and Tim [Sommers]. And I just sat in the corner of the room, I was like, ‘Well, look, I’m going to be useless today unless I just tell you what’s going on.’

“That’s what happened,” he continued. “I had that title; just as a songwriter in general, you’re writing down titles all the time from life. But it just came about as a, ‘Hey, this is what’s going on.’”

By his own admission, Evans initially struggled with his split from Ballerini, but found solace in writing out his feelings.

“It was a difficult time in my life and writing this helped me process a lot of what I was going through,” he said when the song was released.

Evans previously released Over For You, a documentary about the song. and his own journey towards finding happiness amid the heartache. Ballerini has also shared her feelings over the end of their marriage, in an EP and short film, Rolling Up The Welcome Mat.
