Morgan Wallen has taken to social media to tease a snippet of his unreleased song, 'Last Time I Checked.'
The short teaser follows the recent announcement video of his 2027 Last Time I Checked tour, where a more synth-backed, lower-volume version of the song played as fans were able to view the upcoming tour dates.
The teaser puts the pieces of Wallen's current social media run together in more ways than one. It calls back to his earlier Instagram photo dump, which showed Wallen enjoying some time in nature post-tour season. Before any confirmation, fans could feel Wallen was about to announce something due to the 'I'm The Problem' crooner, more often than not, having an inactive social media presence.
As far as announcements, we got the tour, and the single. All that's truly left for fans to have an idea of what Wallen's 2027 run will look like, is an album announcement - which we can probably expect either late this year or early next.
Judging from the snippet, the song sounds very similar to what fans can hear on his I'm The Problem album. While it's nothing super out of the ordinary for Wallen, it does show versatility compared to his recent singles 'Been By Now,' and the GTA VI track 'Last Thing You Need.'
Whereas 'Been By Now' is frankly a pop song with Wallen's country twang over it, and 'Last Thing You Need' delves more into the stylings Wallen himself has said he's more likely to listen to on his own, 'Last Time I Checked' feels like a regular country-pride tune.
The snippet seems to be Wallen describing himself, and the things about him he says he hasn't given up - the traits about our protagonist he's seemingly proud of, as he leaves the connotation with fans that no matter what happens, he's always going to be himself.
It's similar to the sort of pride we hear in songs like 'I Wrote The Book' and 'More Than My Hometown,' where Wallen is unafraid to stay true to himself and unapologetically show his country-roots.
Of course, the snippet brings about all the excitement as fans have been eagerly awaiting Wallen's word on his next musical endeavor - and a new song from Wallen is always cause for celebration. As we await the official release date, we do have the snippet's lyrics.
Last time I checked
The Braves were down by one
The bottom of the seventh, with Harris comin' up
Last time I checked
That camera had some bucks
There was oil on the dip, no catfish on the jugs
Last time I checked, still the same pic of me by the D.O.B. in my wallet
Bottomland hangin' up with a nine milli' tucked under Levi jeans in my closet
The good Lord's good as cold in the winter
Ducks fly south but I've always been here
Stuck in my ways like a farm fence splinter
A buried river bank arrowhead
Last time I checked
Still got some drawl that's all up in my dialect
Still take my hat off, bow my head, and break some bread
What you'd expect
Still got the same ol' shade of red up on my neck
Last time I checked
