11 Maren Morris Songs That Matter

• 11. “80s Mercedes” – (2016)

  Share

  It was her second single, following the powerful “My Church.” Maren co-wrote and co-produced the song with the late great producer Busbee during a session where they traded ideas about their numerous influences from that era.

• 10. “Craving You” (Thomas Rhett featuring Maren Morris) – (2017)

  Share

  It’s hard to go wrong with a duet with Thomas Rhett. Maren contributed vocals on the song and recorded her parts in an hour. Morris almost didn’t make it to the final release, as Rhett initially wasn’t sure that it was "really a duet song." We’re glad he reconsidered.

• 9. “The Middle” (with Zedd and Grey) – (2018)

  Share

  Dance music superstar Zedd said that working with Maren Morris was "super fun because she is clearly an amazing singer and very talented musician." This song introduced her to the pop world.

  Just a solid song from the CMA Award winning album of the same name that year (2020). The song reached a peak of Number One on the Billboard Country Airplay chart on August 3, 2019.

• 7. “I Could Use a Love Song” – (2017)

  Couldn’t we all use a love song now and then? It’s also a no-frills heartbreak song that gives us all hope.

• 5. “Chasing After You” (with Ryan Hurd) – (2021)
