Maren Morris joins forces with Julia Michaels for new song 'Cut!'
The song appears on Morris' upcoming five-song project Intermission , which bows on August 2.
Earlier this week, Morris alerted fans to the upcoming collaboration by posting a photo on social media. The photo featured Morris and Michaels in one kitchenwith Michaels sitting on a table and Morris standing over the table holding a chainsaw.
“Can't wait to scream f–k laxatives at the top of our lungs together,” Morris captioned the photo.
This week, Morris also shared the tracklist for Intermission: 'Cut!', 'I Hope I never Fall in Love', 'Push Me Over', 'Because, of course' and 'This is How a Woman Leaves' .
Last year, the Grammy winner released a pair of songs titled “The Tree” and “Get the Hell Out of Here.” The new five-song set follows her 2022 album Humble Quest and the 2019 CMA album of the Year Award winner GIRL.
Michaels and Morris have worked together in the past, being among the co-writers on the song “Circles Around This Town” from Morris' Humble Quest work. “Circles Around This Town” earned Grammy nominations for Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Song.
In addition to her own hits, including her 2017 debut solo single “Issues,” Michaels has written hit songs for Demi Lovato, Ed Sheeran, Selena Gomez and more. Her 2020 collaboration with JP Saxe, “If The World Was Ending”, earned a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year.
