Megan Moroney has shared the title track to her upcoming third studio album Cloud 9, due out on February 20th. The new track is now the fourth song released from Moroney’s 15-song LP, following the recent arrival of “Wish I Didn’t,” as well as the gold-certified country radio No. 1 smash “6 Months Later,” and Billboard Hot 100 hit “Beautiful Things.”
Written by Moroney, Luke Laird, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Ernest Keith Smith and produced by longtime collaborator Kristian Bush, Cloud 9 is a song “for the lover girls,” (according to Moroney). A press release shares that the track is a “gravity-defying love song (that) makes for a gorgeous kickoff to Cloud 9 release month. ‘Cloud 9’ channels the quiet awe of someone who’s overcome her share of heartbreak — but ultimately looks to the future with unstoppable joy.” See the lyric video for ‘Cloud 9’ – HERE.
Moroney also shared she will release of the ‘Songwriter’s Edition’ of Cloud 9’s vinyl, with its tracklist sequenced in chronological order according to when each song was written. This album variant features exclusive cover art on a gatefold jacket with a special insert on Purple Cloud vinyl.

Moroney is set to make exclusive appearances in nine cities across the country, while performing a handful of songs at select stops. “When I thought about the release of Cloud 9, I knew I wanted to spend it with my fans,” shares Moroney. “They’re the reason I get to do this, and I’m so excited to celebrate this album with them!”
