Morgan Wallen has surprised fans on New Year’s Eve with a new song: “Smile.”
Written by Morgan, ERNEST and others, the moody heartbreak number chronicles Morgan’s forlorn feelings following a romantic split.
He sings in the opening verse, “I can’t remember the last time/ You looked as happy as you did tonight/ Your tipsy friend grabbed that bartender/ Gave him her phone and pulled us over there with her.”
“It was good to see you smile/ Girl you know it's been a while/ It was good to see you smile/ Even if it was just for the picture,” Morgan continues in the chorus.
But wait, there’s another surprise in the music video.
Instead of performing “Love Somebody” on a fictional late-night talk show, Morgan sings “Smile,” leaving the host, audience and production crew shocked and puzzled.
Looking all woebegone, Morgan delivers his tune as everyone behind the camera starts panicking. Fortunately, ratings start soaring and those frowns turn into smiles.
Morgan, however, remains stuck in his melancholy state when he’s hit with a curveball at the end of his performance. What exactly happened? You’ll have to watch the video to find out.
