Today, Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records rising star Megan Moroney releases an acoustic version of her wildly popular song, “I’m Not Pretty.” Co-written by Moroney, Ben Williams, Mackenzie Carpenter and Micah Carpenter, the original track marks Moroney’s second single at Country radio. Set to impact at stations across the U.S. on August 7, “I’m Not Pretty” has already racked up over 2.6 MILLION U.S. streams/week and 47 MILLION U.S. streams to date.

“As a songwriter, I’ve always loved the stripped-back version of songs,” explains Moroney. “I feel like people are more likely to pay attention to the lyrics and I think it’s a pretty funny story. I’m excited to have this one out.”

Both versions of “I’m Not Pretty” were produced by Kristian Bush. The original was released earlier this year as part of her debut album LUCKY, which was named one of ‘The Best Albums of 2023 So Far’ by Rolling Stone, Whiskey Riff and others. Go here to stream/download LUCKY now.

With the official music video to come soon, the song follows Moroney’s first No. 1 with her PLATINUM-certified “Tennessee Orange,” which fueled her meteoric rise from independent artist to one of the most dynamic new voices in Country music today.

After taking the stage at a multitude of summer festivals in the U.S. and U.K., she’ll kick off THE LUCKY TOUR with her New York City debut at The Bowery Ballroom on September 20. With many of the venues selling out within minutes, the tour will stop at major cities and iconic venues coast-to-coast, including Moroney’s first-time appearance as an in-demand headliner in Chicago (Joe’s on Weed St.), Los Angeles (The Troubadour), New Braunfels, TX (Gruene Hall), and more.

ABOUT MEGAN MORONEY:   A Country newcomer with massive staying power, Megan Moroney is strong-minded, sensitive, and fiercely devoted to speaking her truth. As a teenager in Georgia, she first honed her gorgeously gritty vocal style by singing covers with her dad and brother, then took up guitar at age 16. Although she started off studying accounting at the University of Georgia, Moroney’s entire trajectory changed after opening for Chase Rice at the famed Georgia Theatre her freshman year — a turn of events that found her penning her first-ever original song and discovering the dazzling specificity and down-to-earth honesty that now define her music. In July 2022 she offered a first glimpse at the full-force personality of her songwriting with the Pistol Made of Roses EP, inspiring CMT to praise her as a “musical risk taker with powerhouse pipes.” As her career gained unstoppable momentum, she next delivered her breakout single “Tennessee Orange”: an immediate smash that soon led to her signing with Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records, in addition to notching her first No. 1 at Country radio and earning RIAA PLATINUM certification. Named a “2023 Artist to Watch” by the likes of Amazon Music, Pandora, and Spotify, as well as an iHeart “On The Verge” Artist and one of CMT’s Next Women of Country for 2023, Moroney released her debut album LUCKY in May and quickly drew major acclaim for the lived-in intimacy, fearless truth-telling, electrifying impact of her songwriting. With her avalanche of accolades including winning Breakthrough Female Video of the Year at the CMT Music Awards, she made her debut appearance on NBC’s TODAY and kicked off her first headline run with the sold-out PISTOL MADE OF ROSES TOUR. After opening for Country legends Brooks & Dunn this summer, Moroney will embark on her sold-out THE LUCKY TOUR this fall and bring her magnetic live show to iconic venues across the U.S. — all while continuing a meteoric rise that now includes over 426 MILLION total global streams to date.
