Ed Sheeran AND Kacey Musgraves? Megan Moroney’s New Album Just Raised the Stakes With Tracklist Reveal

Megan Moroney has never been subtle about her ambition. But on this morning, she quite literally wrote it in the sky.

With the reveal of the Cloud 9 tracklist, the Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records superstar transformed a routine album announcement into a cinematic moment, one that feels perfectly calibrated to where Moroney finds herself now: airborne, unbothered, and fully in command of her ascent.

In an exclusive video that instantly lit up fan feeds, Moroney steps off a jet stamped “C9MM3,” dressed head-to-toe in a dusty-pink flight suit that matches the album’s soft-yet-bold aesthetic. She looks up. Above her, stretched across the sky in wisps of white contrails, are the titles of all 15 songs that make up her third studio album, Cloud 9, due February 20. It’s a visual metaphor that doesn’t strain for meaning, this is an artist operating at cruising altitude, watching her own world take shape below her.

The moment is pure Megan Moroney: playful, meticulous, and just a little bit extra.

But beyond the spectacle, the tracklist tells a deeper story, one that charts the emotional geography Moroney has been mapping since she first leaned into the “Emo Cowgirl” moniker. Cloud 9 opens with its title track before unfurling into a body of work that blends hard-earned confidence with vulnerability, humor with heartbreak, and pop polish with country soul.

Familiar hits anchor the project. The GOLD-certified “6 Months Later,” currently climbing inside the Top 5 at Country radio, appears early in the sequence, alongside “Beautiful Things,” another fan-favorite steadily gaining ground on the airplay charts. These songs have already proven Moroney’s ability to turn diary entries into communal experiences and they serve as signposts for where the album is headed.

Then there are the surprises.

Perhaps most striking are the collaborations. “I Only Miss You,” featuring global superstar Ed Sheeran, promises a cross-genre meeting of two writers who understand the power of restraint as much as confession. Meanwhile, “Bells & Whistles,” a duet with Kacey Musgraves, feels less like a flex and more like a passing of the torch, two artists whose brands of emotional clarity and quiet rebellion have reshaped modern country on their own terms.

True to her word, Moroney also finally delivers “Wedding Dress,” a song fans have been waiting on since it first surfaced online and promptly went viral. Its inclusion feels like a thank-you note to the community that helped build her career song by song, post by post. That gratitude extends behind the glass as well: Moroney steps into a new role on Cloud 9, co-producing “Wedding Dress” and “Table for Two” herself, a subtle but significant signal of where her creative authority now lies.

The track titles alone hint at an album that’s as emotionally nimble as it is self-aware: “Medicine,” “Stupid,” “Convincing,” “Wish I Didn’t,” and “Who Hurt You?” read like chapters in a story that knows when to wink and when to wound. Closer “Waiting on the Rain” suggests a return to stillness, reflection, and maybe a little hope, an ending that feels earned rather than tidy.

If Lucky introduced Megan Moroney and Am I Okay? sharpened her voice, Cloud 9 appears poised to be the album where she fully owns her perspective. Not just as a hitmaker or aesthetic savant, but as a songwriter who understands how to turn personal turbulence into pop-cultural weather.

Fittingly, the rollout doesn’t stop with the reveal.

Alongside the tracklist, Moroney announced the Cloud 9: Tiger Cloud – BTS Edition vinyl, a collector’s dream featuring alternative cover art, a gatefold packed with more than 50 never-before-seen behind-the-scenes photos, and an exclusive insert from the album shoot. It’s an intimate peek behind the curtain, an invitation into the process, not just the product.

For an artist who has built her career on letting fans in while still keeping something sacred for herself, it’s a smart move. The sky may be the setting, but the connection remains grounded.

With Cloud 9, Megan Moroney isn’t chasing a moment. She’s documenting one. And if this tracklist is any indication, she’s not just flying high, she’s charting a course that’s entirely her own.
