Morgan Wallen Says Nostalgia Is One Reason ‘Seven Summers’ Is Fan Fave

By Music News Jan 3, 2021 | 7:00 PM

Morgan Wallen followed up his career fourth Number One hit, “More Than My Hometown,” with “Seven Summers,” a fan-favorite that shattered streaming records at both Apple Music and Spotify last fall.

While Morgan can't say for sure why this song is having such an impact on fans, he tells us he can see one obvious connection.“Anytime that you can introduce nostalgia into a song it automatically tends to hit . . . if you land it right it usually hits well. Everybody kind of has that inside of them. I'm personally drawn towards songs like that, and I also (think) maybe, you know, with the way things went in 2020, I think it has had maybe a lot of people thinking about the past and longing for things that they don't really get to experience anymore. I think maybe both of those things kind of went hand-in-hand. The timing of the song just seemed to be right, I think.”

“Seven Summers” is a Top 25 hit and climbing at country radio.

The song, along with “More Than My Hometown,” are included on his upcoming album, Dangerous: The Double Album, due out on Jan. 8th. He took nearly three years to make the double album which features a whopping 30 songs.
