Getting back to the latest installment of ‘What the Kids are Listening To,’ we arrive at this week’s #7, where Morgan Wallen sits with the title track of his upcoming fourth album, I’m the Problem.
This is the fourth single from the album, which comes out this Friday. All four have reached the top ten, with one hitting #1 and one (this one) hitting #2. Suffice it to say, this album is going to be big.
Like Wallen’s smash collaboration with Post Malone, ‘I Had Some Help,’ this song asks the singer’s partner to share some blame in his messed-up state.
You say I’ll never change
I’m just a-go around town with some gasoline
Just tryin’ to bum a flame
Gonna burn the whole place down
And how do you explain
Ever fallin’ in love with a guy like me in the first place
Then turn around, say that I’m the worst thing?
[Chorus]
I guess I’m the problem
And you’re Ms. “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, well, you might be the reason
[Verse 2]
We try to go our sеparate ways
And we’re back and forth likе a swingin’ door
And tomorrow’s like yesterday
Some days better than the night before
And you’re back to me again
Then you go and tell your friends
[Chorus]
That I’m the problem
And you’re Ms. “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, well, you might be the reason
[Bridge]
If I’m such a waste of breath, such a waste of time
Then why you on your way to waste another Friday night?
[Chorus]
If I’m the problem
And you’re Ms. “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, well, you might be the reason

This one isn’t quite as catchy as “I Had Some Help” but the man knows how to make a hit song.
