Megan Moroney Reflects On Her ‘Am I Okay?’ Era During No. 1 Celebration

This week, Megan Moroney threw the ultimate bash in celebration of earning her second-ever No. 1 at country radio with the PLATINUM-certified hit “Am I Okay?” Surrounded by songwriters, friends, fans, and her team, Moroney reflected on the fan-favorite anthem that she says “created a whole era” of her life.

The milestone event took place at The Emo Cowgirl, Moroney’s own pop-up bar located at The Westin’s Nashville’s L27 Lounge. Her talented co-writers Luke Laird and Jessie Jo Dillon as well as the song’s producer, Kristian Bush, listened intently as the Georgia native gushed over the song’s journey.

“This has been crazy. I mean, ‘Am I Okay?’ This song created a whole era for me. We invented the color blue with this song,” Moroney joked, earning a laugh from those in attendance. “So to my songwriters, I don’t know, writing with y’all is just so effortless. I love both of y’all so much.”

She then hinted that this might not be the last hit these songwriters create together, because since writing “Am I Okay?” they have come together on plenty more occasions to pen songs that we have yet to hear.

“We have songs in our phone that no one else here does that I think are, I don’t want to say better than this song, but I just mean I’m just so happy with where this write then led to the other writes. And then we just, I feel like are writing soulmates. So I love y’all so much,” she added.

As Megan Moroney continues to create hit songs and play in front of massive crowds across the country, she admits that she’s starting to notice just how much her life has truly changed since earning her first No. 1, “Tennessee Orange.” But thanks to the people around her, she still feels like the same girl who started out chasing a dream just hoping to write songs that mattered.

“I can feel that it gets bigger because I can’t just go places anymore without someone knowing who I am. But it feels so normal and like it always did at the beginning and I think it’s because I have such solid people around me from the producer, the songwriters, my team. I know that in every corner I look, there are genuine people that want what’s best for me and they trust me and my instincts. And that’s all you can ask for as a songwriter. And I just appreciate everyone here so much,” she gushed.

The “Man On The Moon” singer ended her heartfelt speech by giving a special shoutout to her friends in attendance and then offering a final overarching message of gratitude.

“Thank y’all so much for everything. This is really cool and hopefully we’ll have so many parties. I love parties,” she concluded.

The buzz around “Am I Okay?” continues as it recently earned a nomination for the Best Country category at the 2025 MTV VMAs. The catchy tune serves as the title track to Moroney’s massively acclaimed sophomore album, which was named 2024’s third-biggest debut from a female country artist.

Meanwhile, her latest release, “6 Months Later” continues to heat up the charts as it recently landed in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs. Prior to this week’s celebratory event, Moroney hosted a fan watch party at The Emo Cowgirl, where she alongside a group of lucky listeners got the first look at her “6 Months Later” music video.
