Everything We Know So Far About Megan Moroney's Long-Awaited Unreleased Song, ‘Wedding Dress’

It's been a long time coming, but this Friday (February 20th), Megan Moroney will finally release her fan-favourite track, ‘Wedding Dress’ - four years after she first teased it.

In the lead-up to her new album, Cloud 9, the Georgia native confirmed the unreleased gem would be featuring on the tracklist. ‘Wedding Dress’ finds Moroney imagining walking down the aisle, before she steps right into a Ross and Rachel (and Emily) blunder, with her ex's name popping into her head as she stands by the altar.

The Georgia native first shared a tantalising snippet of this beautifully intricate offering back in 2022, with Moroney penning ‘Wedding Dress’ during the writing sessions for her debut album, Lucky. She wrote it alongside Ben Williams and Colin Healy.

However, when ‘Tennessee Orange’ exploded in popularity and the Lucky tracklist was unveiled, ‘Wedding Dress’ was nowhere to be seen. When Am I Okay? arrived around a year later and the track was again absent, it seemed the beloved song was destined to be cast away into Moroney's vault of never-to-be-released odes.

But now, thankfully, we're finally going to be able to stream ‘Wedding Dress’ as part of Moroney's third studio album, Cloud 9. The project drops on Friday, and features another previously teased classic, ‘Table For Two’, along with the lead singles, ‘Six Months Later’, ‘Beautiful Things’, ‘Wish I Didn't’ and the title-track. Excitingly, there are also two bucket-list collaborations with Kacey Musgraves and Ed Sheeran.

Moroney first revealed ‘Wedding Dress’ would be appearing on Cloud 9 in an interview with People last November, when she joked about how fans had never let her forget ‘Wedding Dress’, “Had they not been constantly bugging me about it, it probably wouldn't have made the record, just because I'm so past that feeling”.

‘Wedding Dress’ is set to be a song for Moroney's Day One Emo Cowgirls, capturing the despondent, introspective spirit and heartbroken ambience that permeated much of Lucky. Cloud 9 as a whole, though, is expected to be a much more vibrant, optimistic and joyful record, with Moroney hinting throughout the rollout so far that listeners will be hearing the most “confident” version of herself yet.

Either way, the anticipation is through the roof ahead of Cloud 9, with Moroney cementing herself as one of the most prominent and influential voices in the modern country sphere.
