Live Revelation: Morgan Wallen Unleashes Next Single 'Been By Now' in Baltimore Debut!
Morgan Wallen announced his new single, "Been By Now," set for release on July 24, debuting it live at his Baltimore show. The midtempo track delves into a stagnant relationship, following the monumental success of his 2025 album *I’m the Problem*, which continues its record-breaking run on Billboard charts.
Country music superstar Morgan Wallen recently thrilled fans by revealing the title and release date of his highly anticipated next single, "Been By Now." The announcement took place on Saturday night, July 18, during his show in Baltimore, Maryland, at M&T Bank Stadium, where he also performed the song live for the very first time. Fans captured videos of the reveal, confirming that "Been By Now" is officially set to drop on Friday, July 24. Wallen is currently on his "Still the Problem Tour," which is scheduled to visit Ann Arbor, Michigan, next weekend before concluding in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Following the Baltimore performance, Wallen further engaged his fanbase by sharing a 40-second clip of the recorded version of "Been By Now" on his social media channels. The new track is described as a midtempo ballad that delves into the complexities of a relationship that struggles to progress, even when other aspects feel effortless. Wallen's lyrics on the track include poignant lines such as, "If it was meant to be, we’d have been by now/ We wouldn’t have to keep trying to work things out," and also notes, "baby, we’re a breeze when the lights go down."
This release marks Wallen's first new song since his collaboration with Ella Langley on the duet "I Can’t Love You Anymore," which was released in April. "Been By Now" also follows the immense success of his 2025 hit album, *I’m the Problem*. This acclaimed album has enjoyed remarkable longevity on the charts, spending a total of 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and it continues to hold a strong presence within the top 10, landing at No. 3 on the most recent ranking.
Further solidifying his chart dominance, *I’m the Problem* currently leads the Top Country Albums chart for an astonishing 45th nonconsecutive week, as of the July 25 dated chart. This achievement makes Morgan Wallen the artist with the most weeks at No. 1 in the chart’s 62-year history, a testament to his enduring popularity and commercial success. Despite the excitement surrounding his new single, Wallen has not yet made any announcements regarding an upcoming studio album.
Fans eager to hear "Been By Now" can pre-save the song on various streaming services. Wallen himself provided a preview of the new track via a post on X, confirming its release with the simple message: "Been By Now out July 24."
