Morgan Wallen‘s got his fair share of party hits, drinkin’ songs and good ol’ country boy anthems. But he’s also got plenty of songs that show his dark side, too.

In fact, the majority of the songs he’s shared off his upcoming I’m the Problem album deal with darkness in some form or fashion. Heartbreak, tumult and trouble are common themes.

Anyone who’s been following the country superstar’s personal life over the years knows that he comes by that angst honestly. He’s one of country music’s most popular artists, but he’s also one of its most polarizing.

While he’s topped the charts and sold out stadiums, Wallen has also been at the center of arrests, scandals, and one racist slur incident that kept him largely blacklisted from radio and awards shows for the bulk of 2021.

He writes true to life, and so it’s only natural that those low moments pop up in his music. He’s put out multiple songs about his personal demons, and especially, the perils and pitfalls of fame.

Some of these songs deal with romantic loneliness and his inability to find a partner who loves him for him, instead of for his fame. One is about the legacy he’s leaving for his young son, and another is about worrying that his lifestyle is pulling him away from his mother.

But all of these songs have one thing in common: They’re unflinchingly honest and find Wallen staring his shortcomings right in the eye. At his best, Wallen is self-reflective, willing to cop to the ways his mistakes have affected his life and the lives of those he loves.

Read on for some of the most revealing lyrics Wallen has ever sung about his personal demons and his complicated relationship with his celebrity status.
