Maren Morris Teases Song About Keeping Things Casual and Leaning Into a Situationship Following Her Divorce

Maren Morris is dishing about her new song. Ahead of the release of “I Hope I Never Fall in Love,” the 34-year-old singer took to Instagram to discuss the track, which is set to be released July 12.

“‘I Hope I Never Fall in Love’ is about, well it’s pretty self-explanatory from the title,” Morris said. “Having just gone through a giant breakup, just not wanting to go down that path again and wanting to keep things casual and really just lean into the situationship of it all.”

Morris split from Ryan Hurd in October 2023 after five years of marriage. The duo finalized their divorce in January, agreeing to shared custody of the 4-year-old son, Hayes.

As for what the track will sound like, Morris teased, “There’s a sort of bittersweet throwback, like, ’60s vibe to it that I love.”

“It just feels like you get to scream the chorus,” she said. “I can’t wait to sing it live with everyone.”

“I Hope I Never Fall in Love” will be the second song to be released off of Morris’ upcoming EP, Intermission. Last month, Morris teamed up with Julia Michaels for “Cut!”

On the track, Morris appears to sing about her split as she belts, “I’m screaming, ‘Cut’ / I need a moment to just / Let my tears fall where they want / Honestly, f**k I’ve held it in long enough / I gave it all that I got / I’m screaming, ‘Cut.'”

Intermission, which will include three other songs, is due out Aug. 2.

When ET spoke to Morris in December, the singer, who recently came out as bisexual, shared what she was looking forward to in 2024.

“There’s a lot of personal stuff right now I’m wading through, processing, writing through,” she said. “So, yeah, I’m giving myself the time to do that and not having to rush a very, huge personal thing through an album being delivered. So, yeah, it’s going to take a little bit longer than I had hoped, but I have to trust the process.”
