Megan Moroney Drops Flirty New Anthem “Wish I Didn’t” Ahead of Cloud 9 Megan Moroney is officially in her Cloud 9 era — and she’s having fun with it. The MULTI-PLATINUM hitmaker just released her new single “Wish I Didn’t,” a playful, warning-shot country-pop anthem that leans equal parts confidence, charm, and sharp-tongued honesty.

It was the music . Something about all these new artists rolling through Boston, the fresh albums dropping, the surprise tour announcements, the way this city suddenly feels louder and twangier again… it made me want to come back here and write. It reminded me why I started this space in the first place. Country music has a way of waking up parts of you that go quiet for a while. So here I am, dusting off the porch, sweeping off the welcome mat, and stepping back into this little corner of the internet with a full heart and a fresh cup of coffee. As we head into 2026 , here’s what I’m looking forward to: • More live shows and new voices coming through town • Road trips, concerts, and the stories that happen in between • The everyday Boston moments that feel a little country if yo...
