“7 Summers”

The ballad “7 Summers” was written by Morgan Wallen with Josh Osborne and Shane McAnally. The song will be featured in Wallen’s early 2021 project “Dangerous: The Double Album.”

This year, people from all across the world have spent their summer in a very unusual way with no cookouts, no tailgates, no block parties, no vacations, and no family reunions.  It would just be right that one of the most listened to song this year is one that tells us what it felt like. Wallen passionately delivered every line of his top song and eventually hits us with the reality that everything was “7 Summers” ago.

More than the summer vibe, Morgan Wallen added beautiful music through a guitar instrumental that you could listen to for 3 minutes. It would make you feel like drifting down the river and sipping on a sixer alongside a friend or romantic interest.
