Maren Morris is ready for her next chapter!
On Thursday, March 27, the “My Church” singer shared her soulful new single “Carry Me Through,” just days after she announced her fourth studio album Dreamsicle.
“The first taste of D R E A M S I C L E is here,” wrote Morris on social media about the song’s release.

“Yeah, I know tomorrow’s gon’ come / Preaching to a choir of one / It’s taken me a while I’ll get there soon / Yeah, I got friends around / Plenty of hands held out / But I’m still the one who has to choose / To carry me through,” Morris, 34, sings with a smoky lilt on “Carry Me Through.”
Alongside the song, Morris also shared the song’s music video which features the country star on her own, intimately performing the song while looking straight into the camera as she sits on wooden chairs and digs through sand.
Midway through, the video turns from black-and-white to a bright golden hue, seemingly calling to the journey through hardship described in the song’s lyrics. At the end, Morris is seen smiling ear-to-ear.

“Intermission is the distillation of the strangest year of my life. i decided to hit the scariest reset button i could have ever conceptualized and there was no looking back,” Morris, who filed for divorce from husband Ryan Hurd in October 2023, wrote.
She added: “The lengths one will go to feel joy again are sometimes desperate and terrifying as all get out, but we all deserve peace in these very short few trips around the sun.”
