Maren Morris Says Sassy New Song ‘Bed No Breakfast’ Is an Honest Look at ‘Modern Dating’ After Divorce (Exclusive)

Maren Morris has recently unveiled her latest single, “Bed No Breakfast,” a track that delves into the world of dating post-divorce. The Grammy-winning artist dropped the song ahead of her upcoming album, “Dreamsicle,” set to be released on May 9th.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the 35-year-old singer-songwriter shared the inspiration behind the fun and cheeky tune. Morris described the songwriting process as one that made her laugh, noting that it felt like the perfect time to release a song that reflects the current landscape of modern dating. She humorously refers to the song as a “cry for the people.”

“Bed No Breakfast” sees Morris playfully kicking a lover out, playfully crooning lines like, “Won’t you sleep better at your place?” The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a casual encounter and set the tone for a refreshingly candid take on relationships.

The track is part of Morris’ album “Dreamsicle,” where she navigates through significant life changes, including her divorce from fellow musician Ryan Hurd and her decision to take a step back from the country music scene. Following the poignant ballad “Carry Me Through,” “Bed No Breakfast” injects a dose of humor and light-heartedness into the album.

Morris, a Reign Storm ambassador, shared that the juxtaposition between the emotional depth of “Carry Me Through” and the playful nature of “Bed No Breakfast” was intentional. She wanted to surprise listeners with the various facets of her artistry and showcase her Texan sass alongside soulful ballads.

While the song hints at Morris re-entering the dating world, the artist emphasises that it’s not a top priority for her at the moment. She underscores the importance of focusing on her work, herself and her son, Hayes, signalling a pragmatic approach to her personal life amid her musical endeavours.

In addition to her music career, Morris has been keeping busy as a brand ambassador for Reign Storm, a sugar-free, plant-based energy drink. Embracing the brand’s ethos of “living life better,” Morris reflects on her current state of mind, highlighting a newfound sense of openness to experiences and a willingness to take risks without self-imposed constraints.

As she gears up for the release of “Dreamsicle,” which includes tracks from her 2024 EP “Intermission,” Morris remains a versatile artist who effortlessly blends emotional depth with playful energy in her music. Fans can expect a rich tapestry of storytelling and musicality in her latest work, promising a captivating journey through the highs and lows of life and love.

Ultimately, Maren Morris continues to captivate audiences with her authentic storytelling and eclectic musical style, solidifying her position as a formidable force in the music industry. Her ability to infuse honesty and vulnerability into her songs resonates with fans around the world, making her a standout artist in today’s ever-evolving music landscape.
