Maren Morris has wowed her fans again with her new song and music video, “carry me through”, from the eagerly awaited album, D R E A M S I C L E. The song is a personal ballad mixing gospel and soul styles. In it, Morris talks about gaining strength after tough times—a theme that defines her upcoming album. The music video shows this journey of change by transitioning from black-and-white to bright colors as she discovers that everything she needs is inside herself.

In talking about her song, Morris explained that she wrote it early in 2023, before many significant events happened in her life and around the world. She feels music can almost predict and capture future feelings and experiences. The idea for this song came from Morris’s personal worries, which she wanted to express through music. The main message is not to deal with problems alone but instead rely on trusted friends or family for support. By sharing her story in the song, Morris hopes it will comfort others just as creating it helped her feel better connected and reassured.

Morris is supporting the transgender community with a new shirt she’s created in partnership with GLAAD and TransLifeLine. All money made from selling this shirt will go towards helping transgender people, especially as they face more laws and orders against them. The shirt includes lyrics saying “little change of weather, it’ll make it better” from her song “carry me through,” along with a drawing of a lemon, wearing cowboy boots looking at itself proudly—a symbol for self-love and being an ally. Morris uses her influence to inspire with music and speak up about important social issues, showing that her work is both about empowering others and expressing herself.
