During her performance of “Hair Salon,” her second official release and leading single for her brand new project, the crowd sang along to every single word. “I’m just really proud of that song because I feel like it encompasses everything that I wanted to be as a songwriter,” she tells The Nash News. “I think it’s very rewarding as a songwriter to hear real people sing back something you wrote with your friends.”

A few years ago, Moroney was at the University of Georgia studying to be an accountant. While at school she became known as the country music singer of the sorority she was a part of. “I got a lot of cool opportunities. One being playing for a sold-out show with Chase Rice,” she shares. “It was honestly that show, that I was like, ‘Okay I’ve gotta change my major because I don’t want to do accounting. I want to do this.” By the end of her freshman year, she asked her parents if she could move to Nashville.

“Fix You Too,” another pre-released track, was written in only an hour. The message is self-empowering about prioritizing yourself and recognizing the red flags. Another confident, straightforward song filled with self-love is the opener, “I Love Myself.”

“Til It All Goes South” is a twangy love song about the good and the bad times and on the flipside, Moroney has her “Goodbye Earl moment in “He Made Me Do It” which takes place in a courtroom. In the exhilarating chorus, she exclaims with earth rasp, “I’m not askin’ for forgiveness / I don’t need to beat the charge / But believe me, he’s still breathin’ / Your honor he got off easy.”

The closer, “Keep the Flowers” is a buzzing feminine anthem that features mentions of daisies, tulips, and roses. The songwriting is also brilliantly stunning and badass with the ending line in the chorus, “I’ll keep my last name and you can keep the flowers.” The outro is a loud, shredding guitar solo that solidifies the closing of the project. “I tried to make it a very ‘me’ EP, show every side,” Moroney says with poise. “I’m excited because I feel like there’s something for everyone on it.”
