Myles Morgan isn’t easing into 2026, he’s kicking the door open with a confession.
On his latest release, “Never Been Better,” Morgan trades polish for truth, delivering a heartbreak anthem that feels lived-in, not manufactured. The rising artist, who already boasts more than 150,000 monthly Spotify listeners and 1.3 million streams on his breakout debut “Nobody’s Fault But Yours,” continues to prove that authenticity is his sharpest tool and his greatest strength.
“Never Been Better” is a clever sleight of hand. Its title suggests triumph, closure, and clean breaks, but Morgan quickly reveals the song’s deeper ache. This is a track about the performance of healing, the quiet lie we tell friends, exes, and ourselves when the wounds are still fresh. “This is my most emotionally honest track yet, about leaving a relationship and pretending you’re healed while still battling the emotions internally,” Morgan shares, and that tension pulses through every line.
At a time when country radio is dominated by tidy, algorithm-friendly three-minute tracks, Morgan makes a bold, almost rebellious choice. Clocking in at nearly five minutes, “Never Been Better” refuses to rush the process, much like heartbreak itself.
The song lingers, giving its emotions room to breathe, unravel, and sit uncomfortably where they belong. It’s a reminder that some stories can’t, and shouldn’t be wrapped up neatly.
Morgan’s songwriting shines in its restraint. He doesn’t chase the biggest hook in the room; instead, he lets the song unfold naturally, trusting the listener to lean in. The result is intimate and disarming, a track that feels less like a single and more like a late-night conversation you didn’t realize you needed.
In a fast-forward world, Morgan slows things down, and in doing so, makes one of the most quietly powerful statements of his career so far.
