Morgan Wallen Previews Vulnerable New Song “Superman” on YouTube Ahead of Upcoming Album

Country music star Morgan Wallen has unveiled a deeply personal new song titled “Superman,” offering fans an intimate glimpse into his life as a father and his journey toward personal growth. The track, dedicated to his 4-year-old son, Indigo Wilder, was first teased on TikTok and Instagram in late February 2025, quickly resonating with listeners for its raw vulnerability and emotional depth.

In “Superman,” Wallen candidly addresses his past mistakes, including his April 2024 arrest for reckless endangerment after an incident in Nashville. The lyrics reflect his struggles with alcohol and the challenges of personal accountability, drawing a poignant parallel between his own vulnerabilities and the iconic superhero’s kryptonite. Lines like “One day you’re gonna see my mugshot / From a night when I got a little too drunk” and “That bottle’s my kryptonite” reveal Wallen’s introspection and desire to be a better role model for his son.

Wallen shared his motivation behind the song on social media, stating, “Been trying for a long time to write a song I loved to my son. None of them ever feel good enough because of how perfect I want something like this to be. And not saying this is perfect, but I am very proud of it.”

“Superman” is expected to be part of Wallen’s upcoming fourth studio album, “I’m the Problem,” set for release on May 16, 2025. The album, produced by Charlie Handsome and Joey Moi, will feature collaborations with artists like Tate McRae, Eric Church, Hardy, Ernest, and Post Malone.

“Superman” by Morgan Wallen Lyrics

Here are the lyrics to Morgan Wallen’s new song, “Superman”:

One day you’re gonna see my mugshot
From a night when I got a little too drunk
Hear a song about a girl that I lost
From the times when I just wouldn’t grow up

And when you ain’t a kid no more
I hope you don’t think less of me
I try to hide my falling short
But you’re gonna see

Now and then, that bottle’s my kryptonite
Brings a man of steel down to his knees
Don’t always know my wrong from right
Sometimes, I’m my own worst enemy
No, I don’t always save the day
But you know, for you, I’ll always try
I do the best I can
But Superman’s still just a man sometimes (Oh, sometimes)
