Morgan Wallen has never been one to shy away from raw emotion in his music, but his latest song might be his most personal yet. The reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year shared a snippet of a deeply reflective track called “Superman”, written for his 4-year-old son, Indigo Wilder.

A Song Years in the Making

Wallen took to social media on Monday (Feb. 24) to unveil the emotional track, explaining how long he has tried to put his love for his son into words.

“Been trying for a long time to write a song I loved to my son. None of them ever feel good enough because of how perfect I want something like this to be,” he admitted. “And not saying this is perfect, but I am very proud of it.”

The song paints a vivid, vulnerable picture of Wallen’s journey—his meteoric rise to country stardom, past mistakes, and the weight of fatherhood.

Addressing the Past, Looking to the Future

Wallen doesn’t hold back in “Superman”, opening with candid lyrics that acknowledge his past controversies and the inevitable day his son will learn about them.

“One day he’s gonna see my mugshot from a night when I got a little too drunk/ Hear a song about a girl that I lost/ From the times when I just wouldn’t grow up,” he sings.

The song continues with self-reflective honesty, as he confronts his battles, fears, and imperfections as a father:

“Now and then, that bottle’s my kryptonite … brings a man of steel to his knees.
Don’t always know wrong from right, sometimes I’m my own worst enemy.
No, I don’t always save the day, but you know for you I’ll always try.
I’ll do the best I can, a Superman is still just a man sometimes.”

New Music & A Huge Year Ahead

“Superman” is the latest in a string of new songs Wallen has teased, including “Lies, Lies, Lies,” “Smile,” “Love Somebody”, and the title track to his upcoming album, I’m the Problem. With his massive 2025 I’m the Problem Tour launching in June, it’s clear that Wallen is as busy as ever—both as a country superstar and as a father.
