Maren Morris has released a new song about never wanting to fall in love again, a day after coming out as bisexual following her divorce from Ryan Hurd.
In an Instagram post celebrating Pride Month this Monday, Maren announced: ‘Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+, happy pride!’
Her joyful statement came five months after she and Ryan finalized their divorce, which she filed for last October after five years of marriage.
The day after breaking the news of her sexuality, Maren gave her first live performance of her song I Hope I Never Fall in Love during a concert in Colorado.
“I hope I never fall in love again,” she sings in the ballad, claiming that her previous romance was “the last time,” according to Us weekly.

Maren gave the song a tongue-in-cheek intro, telling the crowd at Red Rocks, “When you hear the title, you’re going to be like, ‘Okay, bitch.’ Yes of course”.
‘I wrote this song with my friend Delacey. This song is called I Hope I Never Fall in Love. “It’s self-explanatory,” the country singer shared.
“I take another page from my hero’s book,” the number begins. “I haven’t slept in days and the pressure is boiling. I know it with all the fish in the deep blue sea. I’ll get bored and take you home with me.
However, in front of the chorus, she has somberly resolved: “I hope I never fall in love.” I hope I never fall in love again. I’m not going to take it back.’
Maren then expresses her determination to “be a good girl” and “move on” – or at least “keep it to myself if it ever happens.”
His tactic will be “throw me a party and I’ll drink champagne,” he decides. ‘I probably won’t be happy but I will dance in vain. When feelings of loneliness take over, I will not let my willpower weaken.’
In his final verse, he declares, “I was once ab**** when it came to love. He would take a small hit and be ruined. But I loved him from the bottom and I saw the light. God is my witness, that was the last time.’

Their split became public in October of last year when Maren filed for divorce in Tennessee, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Two months later, she revealed that she wasn’t ready to start dating again and was instead focusing on her work as a songwriter.
Noting that her divorce process was still “ongoing,” she said she would “like to get this over with” and that she was not in the “headspace” to embark on another relationship.
“I’m writing so much stuff right now that that’s been my way of dating… it’s just through songs,” he explained in The Howard Stern Show.
Maren finally came out as bisexual on Instagram this Monday, after years of vocal advocacy for LGBTQ+ causes.
In 2022, he had a dispute with Brittany, the wife of his compatriot Jason Aldean, whom he accused of transphobia for a joke on Instagram.
Brittany wrote, “I would really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase,” prompting a scathing response from Maren, who referred to her as “Uprising Barbie.”
Right-wing pundit Candace Owens then criticized Maren on Twitter, prompting Maren to mock, “My Grammy is positively crying right now,” and Candace to accuse her of sounding “like a 15-year-old on Tik-Tok.” .

Maren also jumped into the fray on social media when Candace Cameron Bure said she was leaving the Hallmark Channel in favor of projects about “traditional marriage” on the Great American Family network.
Invoking Candace’s Full House character DJ Tanner, Maren wrote a comment on Instagram joking, “Make DJ gay again.”
Last year he appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race and apologized on the verge of tears for country music’s “relationship with LGBTQ+ members.”
Months later, he wrote an essay denouncing the “horrible” way “the country music industry has treated LGBTQ people” in Billboard.
‘There are people like Ty Herndon, who couldn’t come out until he was basically no longer in the industry. But progress is being made: TJ Osborne, one of my closest friends, came out a couple of years ago and there’s a lot of support behind him because he’s like, “Yeah, it doesn’t matter.”
TJ, one of the Osborne brothers, became the only openly gay artist to sign with a major country label when he came out in February 2021.
