Morgan Wallen is giving fans a taste of his highly anticipated fourth studio album, I’m the Problem, by dropping two brand-new tracks. This much-anticipated album is set to feature an impressive 37 tracks and is scheduled for release on May 16, 2025 . Wallen's album announcement has sparked excitement in the country music world, offering fans a deeper glimpse into his personal journey and evolving sound.

In addition to the album release, Wallen has also announced the Sand In My Boots Festival – his first-ever, all-genre festival, which will take place in Gulf Shores, Alabama from May 16-18, 2025 . This festival, named after his hit 2021 song Sand In My Boots , promises to be a major event for country music fans, blending live performances, beach vibes, and the signature Southern charm Wallen is known for.

A Year in the Making: The Story Behind the Album

Wallen spent nearly a year crafting I’m the Problem on his farm just outside of Nashville , where he was able to dive deep into his personal growth and artistic process. He worked closely with his longtime producers Joey Moi and Charlie Handsome , honing in on a sound that represents his journey of self-reflection and maturation. Wallen has been open about his struggles and growth, explaining in a recent interview:

"I have been a problem, for sure, and I’ve got no problem admitting that. But there are other sides to me as well. I’ve spent the last 11 months really trying to figure out, ‘Do I still want to be the problem? Is it time to move past that phase in my life?’ I think it probably is, and this might be the last time I get a chance to honestly say it."

Wallen’s raw honesty and vulnerability are central to the album, as it represents both a self-reflective narrative and an exploration of his personal growth. Fans can expect to hear an album that blends his familiar sound with a new level of introspection and vulnerability.

Two New Tracks: ‘Just In Case’ & ‘I’m A Little Crazy’

To build anticipation for the full album, Wallen has released two singles that showcase his signature blend of country storytelling with modern production styles. These tracks offer a glimpse into the deeper themes of I’m the Problem, setting the tone for the album’s highly anticipated release.

The song highlights the tension between embracing one’s flaws and acknowledging the need for change, making it a perfect precursor to the more reflective moments of I’m the Problem.
