Brett Young Explains the Vision Behind His Steamy Morgan Wallen Shower Cover

Earlier this month, Brett Young posted a steamy video of him singing a cover of Morgan Wallen’s “Just In Case.” And while fans made it known that they were big fans of the video, Young now admits that the vision he had for the video didn’t quite resonate as he hoped.

In the center of the clip, Young rocks messy, wet hair and sprays his chest with the shower head while singing the fan-favorite track. Around him, his band members appear in their own squares, performing their instruments from home and coming together to create a creative video.

Speaking with Cody Alan on SiriusXM’s The Highway, the country star explained that the whole reason behind recording this track was to promote his 2026 2.0 Tour and give fans a sneak peek into the songs featured on the set list. He says he originally tried to mimic an iconic scene from the classic film, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, however the country star now sees that “not one person” got the reference.

 “It was a little bit of a miss…You know the famous scene where he’s doing the, “I could be the walrus”? My hair was too short for the mohawk to stay up there. But at the time, the guys had already all filmed their kind of silly videos out on Christmas break and stuff. And I had already filmed it, realized it didn’t really land,” he admitted. “But it was all we had, and I wanted that to be out before the tour because it was going to be in the set. And I just went, ‘It’s still silly.’”

Even if it didn’t land perfectly, Young succeeded in having a bit of lighthearted fun with the promotional moment.

“I was just trying to be silly. We missed a little bit, but at least the song’s out in the world now.”

And it’s safe to say that fans were not mad about the fact that it turned out steamier than originally intended.

Users commented things like “Mercy on my eyes….😍😍” and “Wasn’t expecting this but definitely here for it 😉”

Others wondered how he was able to film from inside the shower. Young says he saw some comments theorizing that his wife Taylor got to be the videographer, but it turns out he didn’t have any help at all.

“There were a lot of comments about, somebody would say something about, like, ‘I wonder what his wife thinks about this.’ And then somebody would comment under it, ‘Who do you think was filming it?’ It was definitely just a phone,” he revealed. “Just on the shower door. And I just, I just kept starting the song over and filmed it like four times straight through and then sent it to my video guy, who, you know, tried to make it not look as amateur as it probably was.”

The moment offered a glimpse into the playful energy and must-see performances that Young is bringing on the 2.0 Tour. When he finally revealed the entire tour setlist, fans saw that amongst his catalog of hits and career favorites was another cover – Justin Bieber’s “Yukon,” which Young has also been teasing on socials ahead of the run.

Named after his latest album, the trek launched at The Ryman in Nashville on January 22 and continues through Saturday, February 28, where he will wrap in Bensalem, PA.
