Singer-songwriter superstar Maren Morris has released her first single “carry me through” from her upcoming album D R E A M S I C L E, which is set to be released on May 9.
The soulful ballad reflects on navigating a dark place and finding the strength to pull yourself out — a theme of resilience that runs throughout the entire album.
“This was written in early 2023 before a lot of things went down I really do think sometimes songs are premonitions,” said Morris. “I wanted to address some anxieties I was having but also give myself some peace by saying ‘it’s not all on you right now. lean on safe people.’ Listening to it brings me a little bit of peace, and I hope it does the same for others out there.”
The new single was aligned with her appearance at the GLAAD Media Awards where she and Lil Nas X presented the the award for Outstanding Music Artist to Doechii.

Aligning with her new single on her fourth studio album, Morris collaborated with GLAAD and TransLifeLine with all proceeds supporting the transgender community against the rising tide of anti-trans legislation, executive orders, and censorship that threaten their rights and safety. This contribution aims to promote equality, protect transgender rights, and affirm the essential role of trans people in the fight for freedom and justice for all.
All proceeds will go to GLAAD and TransLifeLine – the T-shirt is available for purchase here.
