Maren Morris enlists Julia Michaels for her new single, 'cut!'
It's the first single from a new EP, 'Intermission'.
Maren Morris has released a new single 'cut!' featuring Julia Michaels, marking her first new music since her 2022 album 'Humble Quest'.
The track delves into the pressures of maintaining a perfect façade in daily life, and was co-written by Morris, Michaels, Caroline Allin, and Joel Little, with Little also handling production duties. It marks a reunion between Morris and Michaels, who previously collaborated on single 'Circles Around This Town' in 2020.
Morris shared her thoughts on the song's meaning, stating: "'cut!' is about me holding myself together through the day, looking well-rested, not a hair out of place, not canceling any plans with friends because that's how well I want you to think I'm doing. Perhaps those things are all true, but at night I let the mask slip and let myself scream or fall apart to let the steam out of the kettle. It's a cathartic release that doesn't require secrecy, but there are worldly expectations to keep it together despite your feelings. This song gives me permission to fall apart."
