Morgan Wallen Reveals Release Date for Intricate New Song, ‘I’m the Problem’, Previously Thought to Be Called ‘I Guess’

Morgan Wallen has confirmed he’ll release his long-teased fan-favourite, ‘I’m the Problem’, on January 31st. The stripped-back offering will serve as the title-track from the Sneedville megastar’s new album, which is yet to be given an official release date.

‘I’m the Problem’ was penned by the ‘Love Somebody’ crooner alongside a host of his go-to collaborators, Ernest Keith Smith, Ryan Vojtesak, Grady Block and Jamie McLaughlin.

‘I’m the Problem’ appears to be the same song that Morgan Wallen tantalisingly uploaded a snippet of back in January 2024, which was previously thought to be called ‘I Guess’.

On the strikingly sparse, intricate ode, Morgan Wallen explores who is to blame for a recent break-up, “I guess I’m the problem / And you’re ‘Miss Never Do No Wrong’ / If I’m so awful, then why’d you stick around this long? / And if it’s the whiskey, then why you keep on pullin’ it off the shelf? / You hate that when you look at me, you halfway see yourself / And it got me thinkin’ / If I’m the problem, then you might be the reason”.

As Morgan Wallen prepares to usher in his next musical chapter, the chart titan has unveiled a sprawling series of 2025 shows, with Wallen launching his I’m the Problem Tour in June.

The blockbuster run of dates will feature an unrivalled roster of opening acts, with Brooks & Dunn – who released a revamped version of their iconic anthem, ‘Neon Moon’, with Morgan Wallen last year – joined by Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and Koe Wetzel as direct support. Also heading out on the road with Wallen is an array of fast-emerging acts: Anne Wilson, Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock and Corey Kent.

As part of the expansive tour, Morgan Wallen will be hitting a slew of stadiums across the US and Canada, with stops on the books in Texas, California, Florida and many more.

‘I’m the Problem’ is set to be the latest piece of the puzzle as we continue to speculate and predict what we can expect from Morgan Wallen’s hotly anticipated fourth album. We suspect the project may be dropping on 4/4 – seeing as Wallen’s record-obliterating third record, One Thing At A Time, arrived on 3/3 – ahead of his inaugural Sand in My Boots Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama in mid-May.

The forthcoming single is set to be accompanied on the new album by the already-released ’Lies, Lies, Lies’, ‘Love Somebody’ and ‘Smile’, the latter of which dropped out of the blue on New Year’s Eve, in tandem with a cinematic music video featuring comedian, Caleb Pressley. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that other stellar unreleased demos such as the infectious ‘Since You Got Gone’ and the philosophical ‘Redneck’ also make their way onto the I’m the Problem tracklist.

Judging by the impressive singles we’ve heard so far, I’m the Problem will consolidated Morgan Wallen’s status as not only one of the most prominent figures in the modern music landscape, but also an artist that can seamlessly – and, crucially, authentically – blend genres in a way that few of his contemporaries can match.
