Maren Morris<\/a> is sobbing right now. Well, maybe not anymore. But she was, about an hour after her new single \u201cGirl\u201d was released on Thursday (Jan. 17).<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sobbing all the happy tears. This song pulled something out of my soul the day we wrote it and I couldn\u2019t shake it. I hope it brings some comfort and peace to your inner critic. Love yourselves and love each other,\u201d Morris posted on Twitter shortly after the song hit country radio stations. Earlier, she\u2019d tweeted about the anticipation leading up to the release. \u201cI\u2019ve been dying to share this with you all for forever & a damn day,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGIRL\u201d is officially out. I’m sobbing all the happy tears. This song pulled something out of my soul the day we wrote it and I couldn’t shake it. I hope it brings some comfort and peace to your inner critic. Love yourselves and love each other. \u2728\u00a0https:\/\/t.co\/DNDTHzWxjr<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/76ZhCWb0FR<\/a><\/p>\n

Morris\u2019 husband Ryan Hurd, undeniably biased, reported on Wednesday that the song is uniquely Maren. \u201cSo proud of this girl. And Girl. Everyone asked if she was making a pop record, and she went and made something uniquely Maren. And even after hearing it a hundred times in our kitchen, it still is so right. Huge smiles for you, Girl,\u201d Hurd wrote.<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cUniquely Maren\u201d is probably the best way to label a song like this that transcends genre. It isn\u2019t necessarily 100 percent pop, but it certainly isn\u2019t straight-up country, either. Morris wrote \u201cGirl\u201d with Sarah Aarons and Greg Kurstin. In a recent radio interview, she\u2019d described the inspiration for the story the song tells.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inspiration behind \u2018Girl\u2019 was initially me talking to another girl about the competition that we had had between each other and I hated it,\u201d she said. \u201cBut then it very quickly became a letter to myself and just that inner critic, inner demon that always tells you you\u2019re not good enough and how to beat it and pick yourself up off the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n

As reported earlier<\/a>, Morris will be heading out for a six-month world tour starting in early March.<\/p>\n
